Beliche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Beliche. We’ve got a solid run of NW swell on the way, but the first few days are a write-off with strong wind spoiling what could’ve been good. The real action starts Sunday morning the 16th of August—that’s the standout window in this forecast, with a clean, glassy session on offer. After that, it’s mostly average to poor, with a few flickers of cleaner conditions but nothing that’ll get the heart racing until well into the second week.

Alright, let’s get into it. Saturday the 15th is a no-go. The wind is howling from the NNW at 22 mph, even though it’s offshore, it’s just too strong and the surf is messy. The swell is around 5 ft but with only 7-second period—short, weak, and not worth paddling out for. Combined wave energy is 281 (moderate), but the quality is poor. Avoid it.

Sunday the 16th is where it’s at. Morning at Beliche (beach and point) is calling for some clouds, but the wind has dropped to a glassy 3 mph from the ENE. That’s about as clean as it gets. The swell is 6 ft from the NW with a 9-second period (moderate energy, 481). This is the best on offer—clean, punchy waves for advanced surfers. The afternoon turns cross-on with 6 mph SE wind, still surfable but not as good. Crowds are often here, so expect company for that morning glass-off.

Monday the 17th drops off. Swell backs down to 4 ft from the NNW, period short at 8 seconds, and a strong 12 mph cross-on from the SE makes it choppy. Combined energy is low at 166. Not worth it.

Tuesday the 18th is even smaller—3 ft NNW swell, 8-second period, light cross-on wind. Energy is weak (106). Poor conditions. Wednesday the 19th gets tiny—2 ft and then 2 ft, with onshore wind. Forget it.

Thursday the 20th sees a slight improvement in direction (WNW) but the swell is tiny at 2 ft, 9-second period, light cross-shore wind. Combined energy is 73 and 84—too weak.

Friday the 21st brings a pulse of 7 ft NW swell, 9-second period, and NNW wind at 16 mph cross-off. Combined energy jumps to 607 (strong), but the wind is still a moderate breeze, and the forecast calls it poor. It’s clean but wind affected. Could be worth a look for experts, but it’s not a standout.

Saturday the 22nd is the next decent window. Morning has a 6 ft NNW swell, 8-second period, and offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph. Combined energy is 485 (moderate). Clean and punchy, but the period is shorter. The afternoon is marginal.

Sunday the 23rd through to the end of the month is mostly a bust. The swell sticks around 5 ft to 4 ft from the NNW, but the wind is relentless—fresh offshore breezes from the N and NNW at 19 to 22 mph. Combined energy ranges from 135 to 433, but the consistent strong wind blows it out for quality. Tuesday the 25th has a 4 ft swell with 6-second period (short and weak, 141 energy), offering surfable but ordinary waves. Later in the week, Thursday the 27th shows a 3 ft NW swell with 11-second period (longer period, 224 energy) and clean conditions, but again the wind is too strong.

For the second week, the long-range outlook for the 28th to 30th of August shows 3 ft to 6 ft NNW swells, periods between 6 and 11 seconds, but always with that strong NNW wind at 16 to 22 mph. Combined energy gets up to 433 on the 30th, but it’s all clean but wind-blasted. Nothing to get excited about. If you’re a kiter, this setup might be interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a tough run.

Overall, the standout is Sunday morning the 16th of August—glassy, 6 ft NW swell, clean. After that, Saturday the 22nd morning offers a decent second option. The rest is average to poor, especially through the second week with consistent strong wind.
