Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down what’s coming for Beliche.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a frustrating run for the next couple of weeks. There are waves on the charts, but conditions just aren’t lining up for a proper session. The first week is a real write-off for quality surfing, with a lot of fresh to strong offshore winds that, while they’ll keep the surface clean, are making it hard to paddle into anything. The swell is there, but the wave comment keeps calling it poor. The combined swell energy jumps around from moderate (117) to strong (716) in the first few days, but it’s all messy.

There’s a long stretch from August 30th right through to early September where I wouldn’t even bother paddling out for a proper go. The first glimmer of something rideable comes on the morning of Thursday, September 3rd. We get a 3ft NW swell, with a moderate offshore wind from the N. The energy is weak (117), but for the first time the forecast says “surfable waves.” It’s nothing to get excited about, but it’s the first real chance of a wave.

The standout by a long way comes on September 14th, Monday morning. This is the one. We’ve got a 6ft swell out of the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 529, and the wind is light offshore from the NNW, keeping the surf glassy and clean. This is the only time in the whole 16-day window where the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s your session. Get it while you can, because the afternoon turns back to poor again.

Beliche is a beach and point setup, sheltered, and fairly consistent, but it’s advanced level and crowds are often an issue here. Water temp should be about average for the time of year.

After that, the final week is more of the same – solid swell heights up to 7ft, but the wind stays strong and the quality drops off. The morning of the 14th is your one clear winner.
