The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the surf situation on the horizon for the Beliche area.
Straight up, the next two weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring. We’ve got a massive gap with no real surf on offer from now until the morning of Saturday, August 1st. That’s a few days of nothing doing. The water is a chilly 66°, which is 4° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable drop, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
The first chance for a paddle comes on Saturday morning, August 1st. We’ll see a short-period, 4ft swell from the NNW, with a combined energy of 179 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the North at 19 mph, keeping things clean. It’s surfable, but it’s just ordinary. The swell is small enough for beginners, but it’s not going to get anyone excited.
The rest of the first week, right through to the 7th, is a grind. We’re stuck with tiny, weak swell from the WNW, mostly under 3ft. The wind is often cross-off or fresh offshore, which keeps the surface clean, but there’s just no power in the water. The combined energy is mostly in the double digits or low triple digits, meaning weak to moderate at best. Don’t bother.
The only time things look to change is Saturday, August 8th. The morning brings a 4ft NW swell with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 204 (moderate to strong). The wind is strong offshore from the NNW at 22 mph, which will groom the face but makes paddling out a real battle. The swell is still small enough for intermediates, but the wind is the story here. It’s clean, but tough.
The real standout falls on Friday, August 14th. The morning sees a 5ft NW swell, a short period of 6 seconds, and a combined energy of 271 (strong). The wind is a strong offshore from the NNW at 25 mph, making it clean but very, very hard to paddle into. This is expert territory only – the short period and heavy offshore wind will make it a grindy, challenging wave. The afternoon pushes the swell to 5ft, making it too big for beginners and better left for the experienced crew. The bottom line is that even this “best” day is still rated as poor surf conditions, so manage your expectations. I’d say the Saturday morning, August 8th, is the most balanced option if you’re desperate for a wave, but it’s not a classic.
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.
