Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey mate, Rusty here with a look at what’s cooking at Beliche over the next couple of weeks. This is a sheltered beach-and-point setup that’s mostly for advanced folks, and it’s fairly consistent but we’ve got a bit of a slow start. Water temp’s sitting at about 68°F, which feels a touch colder than normal for this time of year – roughly 3°F below average, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.

The first real standout comes Friday morning, 28 August. The swell’s a clean 7 feet out of the WNW with a 10-second period, and we’ve got a light offshore breeze from the north at 9 mph. That’s gentle offshore and clean – perfect conditions. The combined swell energy’s running at 748, which is moderate but solid, and the direction matches the optimum NW. This is hands-down the best early window.

After that, things get a bit messy. Saturday and Sunday mornings still have offshore winds but they’re too strong – fresh to strong breezes at 18–22 mph – and the swell drops to 5 feet and then 4 feet with shorter 8-second intervals. It’s clean but the wind makes paddling hard, especially Sunday afternoon when it’s blowing 22 mph. Monday 31 August keeps the strong offshore theme (25 mph) and even though there’s 5 feet of NW swell, it’s a struggle to get out. This stretch is more of a windsurfing/kitesurfing vibe than paddle surfing.

Now, the big one to circle: Monday morning, 7 September. That’s a solid 5-foot swell from the NNW with a very long 14-second period – that’s true groundswell. Wind is gentle offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, giving you glassy clean waves. The combined energy’s a strong 1177, and with that long period, the point break section will really shine. This looks like the best surf of the whole outlook, though it’s still over a week away so keep an eye on it. Later that afternoon the swell jumps to 7 feet with a 13-second period but the wind shifts to a moderate cross-off, which should still be clean but maybe a bit chunky.

Tuesday 8 September morning holds some fun 6-foot NNW swell with a moderate offshore, and there’s a bit more energy mid-week after that but it fades out quickly. Overall, Friday 28 August and Monday 7 September are your two windows to get excited about – the rest is either too small, too windy, or just average.
