Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast but in feet and knots for you.

Starting off, the first few days are pretty quiet. Saturday the 5th is a no-go. We’re looking at tiny 2ft waves from the NW with a short 9-second period and very low energy (92). The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The water is much colder than normal for this time of year at 67°F.

Now, Sunday the 6th is the first real standout. That morning, a proper NW groundswell hits at 4ft with a long 12-second period and moderate energy (479). The wind goes offshore from the NNW at 11 knots, which is going to groom the point into clean, well-shaped lines. This is a session to circle on the calendar.

Monday the 7th brings a bigger pulse, 4ft from the WNW with a solid 13-second period and strong energy (835). The wind stays offshore, but it’s a stiff 13 knots, so it’ll be clean but a bit punchy.

There’s a bit of a lull from Wednesday the 9th through the weekend. The swell turns short-period and the winds get rough. Thursday the 10th has a brief spike of 6ft from the NNW, but it’s only 8-second period and the offshore wind is blowing a solid 16 knots, making for bumpy, tough conditions. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle session.

The next real highlight is Thursday the 17th. That morning, we’ve got a strong 7ft NW swell with a 10-second period and strong energy (891). The wind is offshore from the NNW at 8 knots. This is a big wave for experienced surfers only, but it’s going to be a proper, powerful session.

The last few days tail off into small, weak surf.

So, to sum it up: Sunday morning, September 6th for the clean, fun groundswell, and Thursday morning, September 17th for the bigger, more powerful stuff for the advanced crew. The break is fairly consistent, so it won’t stay poor for long.

Rusty.
