The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's brewing for Beliche.

To be straight with you, the first week or so is a total dud. From the 17th right through the 24th of July, the ocean looks like a lake. We're talking ankle-snappers at best, with swell heights hovering around 0.7ft to 1ft from the WNW, and the combined energy is pathetic, barely cracking double digits. The wind is blowing fresh offshore, so the surface is clean, but there's just no wave to ride. You'd be wasting your time and gas. This is a proper flat spell.

Then on the 25th of July, we finally get some size, but it comes with a mean attitude. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NNW, but the period is a short, choppy 7 seconds. The combined energy hits a moderate 222, so there's power, but it's messy power. The wind is screaming out of the north at 25 mph, turning the faces into a bumpy, blown-out mess. It's offshore, sure, but it's so strong you'll be fighting to get out the back. This is more of a kite-surfing day than a proper paddle-surfing one.

That same rough and tumble sticks around for the 26th of July. The swell builds to a solid 7ft from the NNW on Sunday afternoon, with combined energy at 362. Again, the wind is howling, making it a real grunt. Not a pretty wave.

The one bright spot in this whole outlook is a full week and a half away, on Friday the 31st of July. The wind finally drops to a gentle breeze, and we get a much cleaner 3ft to 4ft swell from the NW with a decent 10-second period. The combined energy sits at 170 to 285, so there's some real push in the water. This is your best bet for a clean, fun session at Beliche. It’s a beach and point set-up, so that longer period could wrap in and give you a better line than the usual closeouts.

After that, it all fades away again. The first of August looks like junk.

So the call is: a long dry spell, then a spell of big and ugly, and one window of hope on the 31st of July.

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.
