The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming up for Beliche.
We’ve got a classic Algarve set-up on the cards. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a bit cooler than you’d normally expect for this time of year, so you might want an extra stretch of rubber. The action starts Friday morning with a clean 7ft WNW swell. The winds are light offshore from the NNE, turning it on for some proper gems. The wave energy is moderate, sitting at 983, and you can expect some tidy, well-shaped lines. This Friday morning window is the standout of the whole forecast, the best we’re going to see.
Later Friday the wind swings NNW and picks up to 16 mph, making it cross-off. The surf stays around 7ft but the quality drops off. Saturday keeps the offshore flow going with stronger 19 mph winds, but the swell drops to 6ft and the conditions are just okay, not great. By Sunday morning the swell is down to 3ft, the energy is weak at 114, and it’s looking poor for the rest of the week.
We then hit a long, frustrating gap. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to Wednesday the 3rd, it’s mostly poor surf, with light onshores or messy winds, some small NW swells, and low energy. Thursday the 3rd has a brief window of cleaner, smaller 3ft waves with light winds in the afternoon, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
The next real highlight shows up on Thursday the 10th of September. A fresh 7ft NNW groundswell with moderate offshore winds in the morning and moderate energy at 573. That’s promising, but being a week and a half out, we’ll need to watch it. That morning window looks like the second best bet in the whole 16 days.
After that, it fades again into smaller, weaker swells with tricky cross-shore winds through the 12th. So, the short story is: Friday 28 August morning is the day to strike. The 10th of September holds some promise.
Stay sharp, and don't sleep on that Friday session.
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.
