The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down in feet and miles per hour.

This stretch for Beliche (beach and point) is pretty quiet. The water is cold for this time of year, sitting at 66°F, which is about 4°F cooler than normal, so you’ll want a thicker wetsuit.

We start Sunday, August 2nd with a tiny 2ft swell from the west, 9-second period, and combined energy a weak 69. Offshore wind in the morning, but the surf is just too small and poor. Monday the 3rd is 2ft, still tiny. Tuesday morning the 4th bumps to 3ft but still very ordinary, energy at 138. Still not worth paddling out.

Wednesday the 5th morning sees 3ft with a clean offshore wind, but again short period at 8 seconds and energy 161. Not enough.

From Thursday the 6th through Saturday the 8th, the swell height climbs to 5ft-6ft, but the period drops to 6-7 seconds—pure windswell. The wind is blowing 22 mph from the north-northwest, a fresh breeze. Energy hits 274 on Friday morning, but the surf quality is poor. With that wind and short period, this setup is more for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

There’s a big gap after that. Sunday the 9th drops to 1ft, Monday the 10th is 2ft, and Tuesday the 11th is a pathetic 0.7ft. Energy on Tuesday morning is just 13. Dead.

We get a small pulse Thursday, August 13th morning: 3ft from the west-northwest, 8-second period, offshore wind. Energy 107. Surfable but nothing special.

The real standout comes Friday, August 14th morning. We get a 6ft swell from the northwest, 8-second period, and offshore wind from the north-northwest at 16 mph. The combined energy jumps to 577 – strong energy. The optimum swell direction is northwest, so that’s a perfect match. The comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the one. The wind is clean and offshore, so it’ll be well-shaped. Crowds are often around here, so expect some company. For experienced surfers, that 6ft is solid.

Saturday the 15th morning drops to 5ft, energy 383, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph offshore. The surf quality is still poor, so that Friday window is your only real shot.

Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th see 6ft-7ft but the wind is cranking 25 mph and period is short at 7 seconds. Energy is strong, up to 418 on Sunday afternoon, but with that strong breeze and poor quality, it’s a blown-out mess.

So, bottom line: the first week is mostly a wash. The highlight is Friday morning, August 14th at Beliche. That’s your best bet. Everything else is too small, too windy, or too messy. Be patient, and aim for that Friday morning.

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.
