The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

The surf forecast for our area kicks off this Sunday, the 16th of August, with a very brief window of clean, glassy conditions before things go a bit rubbish for a while. The water temperature is sitting at 68° and it's running a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want to think about a thicker spring suit or a bootie if you're feeling the chill.

Sunday morning is the standout for the next several days. We've got a solid NW swell hitting 6 ft, and with a light 3 mph NE breeze glassing it off, Beliche is looking clean. The combined wave energy is moderate at 512. It's a beach and point setup, which is a good thing for handling this swell size. After that, the wind swings onshore and the surf quality drops right off. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to Thursday morning, the conditions are pretty poor. The swell drops and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, so there's really nothing to get excited about.

There's a big gap of poor surf until Friday morning, the 21st of August. That's when we get a clean, offshore window with a moderate 16 mph NNW wind. The swell bumps back up to 6 ft from the NNW, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 517. It's clean, but it's a short period swell, which can feel a bit mushy and less powerful. It's still a decent option for the advanced crew.

The real standout, though, is the following Monday morning, the 24th of August. This is the one to circle. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 1282. That's a lot of power. The wind is a gentle 9 mph cross-offshore from the NW, keeping it clean. This is getting into the realm of only for the experts, as 8 ft is a solid, powerful wave. The short period of 10 seconds means it's not a deep groundswell, but it's still got plenty of punch. The break is fairly consistent, though crowds are often a problem here, so keep that in mind.

After that, the swell backs off a bit, but Tuesday the 25th still sees a clean 6 ft NNW swell with a light breeze, making for a good follow-up session. The rest of the week into September looks marginal, with the swell staying around 4 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is often cross or cross-offshore, and the period is short, so it's not going to be classic.

In summary, the best bet is Monday morning the 24th of August for the biggest, most powerful swell. Sunday morning the 16th is a nice glassy start, and Friday the 21st is a solid, clean option for the advanced.

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.
