The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. We’ve got a long-range outlook for Beliche, and the first week is a bit of a slog. Don't be fooled by the swell on Friday the 21st or Saturday the 22nd, the conditions just aren't there. Sunday the 23rd has a big swell, but the wind is blasting straight onshore, making it a mess. Monday and Tuesday are the same story – choppy and not great.
The real standout is way out there, but it’s the one to circle. Saturday morning, September 4th is the session to target. Beliche will be the place to be. We’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the NW, with a 11-second period. That’s real groundswell power, with a combined energy of 652. The wind is offshore from the NNW, which is perfect for a clean, smooth face. It’s a moderate breeze, so the surf should be glassy and well-shaped. The water temp is a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, at 69°, which is about 2° colder than average, so you’ll want a wetsuit.
Now, let’s break down the rest. After the rough start, Tuesday morning, August 25th offers a little break. It’s not big, just 4ft from the WNW, but the wind is dead calm, glassy. The energy is low (148), so it’s a small-wave day, but perfect for a longboard or funboard.
The stretch from August 26th through the 30th is a mix of small, weak swells with cross-offshore winds. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. The energy levels are mostly in the low to moderate range.
Then we hit the first week of September. The 1st and 2nd are small and weak, with the 2nd barely showing any energy at all. The 3rd is a bit better but still not a standout.
So, to wrap it up: the first week and a half are a bit of a dud. But the long-range call for Saturday morning, September 4th is a solid bet. It’s a bit of a wait, but the forecast is pointing to a really good session. A moderate offshore wind, a solid 6ft groundswell, and real energy. That’s your best wave.
Stay stoked,
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.
