The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, with the same Beliche outlook in proper numbers.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch. There’s a long dry spell from now through the end of July with barely a ripple. The first real chance at a wave comes on the morning of Saturday, July 25th, with a 6ft swell from the NNW, short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (281), and the wind is a stiff 22 mph offshore, keeping it clean. That’s still okay for experienced surfers, but nothing to write home about. The one to circle is on Friday, July 31st, in the morning. That’s when we see a 8ft swell from the NNW, with a long 12-second period. That’s a proper groundswell with strong energy (2047), and a light 6 mph ESE cross-shore breeze. That’s the only real standout, but at that size it’s experts only, and the tide or something has it listed as marginal. The crowd can get thick at Beliche, so expect a pack.
The rest of the days are flat, with swells under 2ft and weak energy. Water temp is 69°F, about average. First week is a total write-off. The second week has that one Friday pulse, but it’s a long way out and not locked in.
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.
