The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

The overall pattern is a bit of a slow start, with a few sessions of surfable but ordinary waves, before a potential standout later on. The water at Beliche is sitting at 67°, which is about a degree and a half cooler than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel that chill first thing.

We kick off Friday 24 July with next to nothing – just 1ft of weak, short-period WNW windswell. The wind is howling offshore at 19 mph, but the energy is a measly 14 (combined energy). It's a washout. Saturday 25 July is a step up, with a 4ft NW swell pushing in on Saturday morning. The combined energy climbs to 151 (moderate), and with a clean offshore wind from the north at 16 mph, it’s rideable. It’s not going to bowls, but it’s a wave. By Sunday and Monday, we see a similar theme: 4ft to 6ft swells, but the wind is either fresh or cross-off, keeping things a bit messy. Tuesday 28 July morning offers a glimmer – 3ft of NNW swell with a 9-second period and a moderate offshore – the energy is 190 (moderate), and it’s clean. The rest of the week drifts off into small, weak conditions.

The first few days of August are similar; surfable but nothing to write home about. The wind stays strong out of the north, keeping the surface clean but the waves a bit closed out on the beach.

Now, here’s the one that gets the heart pumping. Look at Wednesday 5 August morning. The swell jumps to 3ft from the WNW, but the period stretches to 12 seconds and the combined energy rockets to 471 (strong). That’s a proper groundswell. With a moderate offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph, conditions are clean. The direction is WNW, which is a good match for the optimum NW swell direction at Beliche. This is the standout of the whole run. That long period, however, can make a beach break a bit walled-up, but the point and reef sections at Beliche should handle it beautifully. It'll be a bit more powerful than the size suggests, with longer lulls between sets. The crowd factor is "often" at Beliche, so expect company.

The days after that have energy, but the wind stays cross-off, and the quality drops off. Thursday 6 August has 5ft to 5ft of energy, but it’s rated as marginal. By Friday 7 August, we get a glassy morning with a 5ft NNW swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so don't get your hopes up.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a battle for a few small, clean rides. The only real standout is Wednesday 5 August morning. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a long way out, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the numbers look promising.

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.
