The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for Beliche over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the start of this period is a bit of a fizzer. We're looking at a solid gap of nearly a week where the surf is just not worth paddling out for. From Tuesday the 21st right through to Sunday the 26th, the swell is small and disorganised, or the wind is just too strong to make it pleasant. Tuesday morning the 21st will see some small 3ft NW swell with a short 7 second period, but the wind is a moderate 12 mph offshore, so it's clean but the energy is just weak (97). It's a struggle.
Things finally start to show some promise around Sunday the 26th when the swell bumps up to 7ft from the NNW, but the wind is a stiff 19 mph and the quality is still a bit messy. The real standout, the one you've been waiting for, is looking like Tuesday the 28th of July. That morning we've got a clean 5ft NNW swell with a period that's stretched out to 9 seconds. The wind is a gentle 9 mph offshore, so the conditions will be glassy and clean. The combined energy is a solid 411, telling you there's some proper push in the water. Beliche is a beach and point setup, so that longer period will make for some nice, well-shaped waves, especially down the point. This is the session to circle.
After that, the swell drops off again through the end of July and into August. The morning of Tuesday the 4th of August sees a 6ft NW swell, but the wind is still up at 16 mph and the period is only 7 seconds, so it's not going to be the same quality. Then, looking further out, there's a hint of something special on Wednesday the 5th of August. The forecast shows a 7ft NNW swell with glassy conditions – that's a dead calm, 3 mph wind from the north. The swell is a bit short period at 7 seconds, but the energy is pumping at 412. Keep an eye on that one, because glassy conditions at a point break like Beliche can be magic, even if the swell isn't perfect. It's a long way off, so don't book the time off just yet, but it's promising.
Alright, that's the story. Keep it salty.
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.
