The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’ve got a slow start before anything good shows up. The first real highlight is Sunday morning, September 6th, at Beliche (beach and point). The swell is 4 ft from the NW, with a solid 12-second period, and the wind is blowing clean offshore from the north. The combined energy is moderate (479), and the water is 66°, which is about 5° colder than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit chilly. That Sunday morning is your best early bet.
The next few days, Monday and Tuesday, September 7th and 8th, bring a little more size – 4 ft to 4 ft from the WNW – with strong offshore winds, but the conditions are a bit messy and the energy is still moderate. Not the cleanest. The next standout is Thursday, September 10th, with a 5 ft NW swell, a 12-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is solid (519), and the morning session with a moderate offshore is the one to chase.
The surf drops off pretty hard after that. By Saturday, September 12th, we’re down to tiny 2 ft leftovers with a short 6-second period and weak energy (33). That’s a write-off. We get a little bump on the 15th with a very long 18-second period swell from the WNW, but at 2 ft, it’s just a ghost. The real standout for the second week is Wednesday, September 16th. We’re looking at 4 ft from the NW, a 14-second period, consistent energy (608), and clean conditions with a moderate offshore breeze. That’s a proper session.
Best on offer: Sunday morning (6th), Thursday (10th), and then Wednesday (16th). Water’s colder than normal, so layer up.
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.
