Alright, it’s Rusty here, giving you the straight talk on Beliche for the next couple weeks. Don’t get your hopes up too long—there’s one good day, and then a whole lot of nothing.
Thursday morning, July 2nd, is where it’s at. Beliche, a beach and point break that’s fairly consistent, gets a clean 6ft NW swell coming in at 10 seconds, with a light north offshore breeze. Wave energy is moderate at 696. The water’s about 68°, which is normal for this time of year. This is your window. Thursday afternoon is still clean, with a 6ft NNW swell and a light cross-offshore wind. Surf that.
After that, it all falls apart. Friday morning the 3rd, the swell drops to 4ft, but an ESE wind howls at 22 mph, trashing the surface. Lumpy and choppy. Not worth it. The rest of Friday and Saturday stay poor, with swell shrinking and wind staying messy.
From Sunday the 5th onward, we hit a dry spell. Swell hangs below 2ft, with energy readings dropping into the 30s and 20s. Solid week and a half of nothing. There’s a tiny bump on Sunday, July 12th, with 3ft waves and a moderate offshore wind, but the energy is only 254—not enough to get excited. After that, it’s back to knee-high dribble and strong NNW winds.
That Thursday is your only shot. After that, it’s a long, flat wait. Don’t waste a session trying to force it.
Rusty.

Information about the Beliche Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Beliche provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Beliche can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Beliche surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Beliche) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Beliche may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Beliche is 29 km (18 miles) from Lagos. If you plan a holiday in The Algarve, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lagos. Lagos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
