Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Honestly, mate, don’t get your hopes up for the next week and a half. We’ve got a long, drawn-out stretch of weak, small swell with onshore or cross-off winds that are just going to mess up any chance of decent waves at Beliche. The whole setup is a bit of a bummer for paddle surfing.

The water is sitting at about 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good wetsuit.

We’re looking at Monday afternoon, the 13th of July, with a tiny 3 ft swell from the WNW at 8 seconds. The wind is cross-off, but the energy is weak (120) and the surf is just poor. Tuesday the 14th is more of the same—small, weak, and ordinary. The whole week through to the 18th is a write-off with swell dropping to zero and strong offshore winds that might look clean but leave nothing to ride. It’s frustrating.

There’s a tiny glimmer on Sunday morning the 19th. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NW, period a short 6 seconds, but with moderate offshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy hits 126 – still only moderate – but it’s surfable, just very ordinary. That continues through the 20th and 21st, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The 22nd and 23rd see the wind howling offshore from the NNW at 18 to 25 mph, making it clean but hard to paddle into, with the swell dropping back under 2 ft.

The end of the 16-day window, around the 26th and 27th of July, actually sees a pulse of bigger swell. On the afternoon of the 26th we get 5 ft from the NW, and on the morning of the 27th it’s 6 ft from the NW, with combined energy climbing to 225 and then 340 – that’s strong wave energy. But the wind is cross-off, not offshore, and the conditions are still rated as poor. For a beach and point break like Beliche, this could be more interesting for the kite crew than for us on a paddle board. The swell is big enough to be a handful, and with the wind being cross-off, it’s not going to be the clean, lined-up waves we want. It’s a pretty disappointing run overall.

No real standout here. The best you’ll get is that Sunday the 19th, but it’s still just ordinary. I’d wait for the next forecast.

Rusty.
