The Lowdown
Hey folks, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down Beliche. This is a sheltered beach and point break that’s fairly consistent, but we’re looking at a patchy 16-day window. The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing weird.
We start with a bit of a gap, but Sunday the 6th morning gives us a clean 4ft swell from the NW, with a 12-second period. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, so it’s a moderate breeze, keeping things tidy. The combined energy is moderate at 479. It’s a decent wave for the experienced crew. The afternoon gets messy with cross-off winds, so hit the morning.
Monday the 7th morning has a 4ft swell from the WNW, period 13 seconds, with a fresh offshore wind from the N at 19 mph. Energy jumps to 783 – there’s some punch. It’s clean but marginal on tide. The afternoon is cross-off and choppy.
The rest of the week through the 11th is mostly ordinary. Swells run 3ft to 6ft, but periods drop to 7-8 seconds, so it’s short-period stuff. Winds are fresh offshore, keeping it clean, but the waves are weak and unshaped. Energy sits in the 200-400 range.
Now for the standouts. Monday the 14th morning is the best: a 6ft swell from the NNW, period 8 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. Energy is strong at 635. It’s over 5ft, so it’s for advanced surfers only. The afternoon holds 7ft from the same direction, with a light cross-off breeze, energy 643 – that’s the biggest and cleanest of the run. Tuesday the 15th morning is glassy with a 6ft NNW swell, light north wind, energy 476 – mirror-flat conditions. The afternoon gets a cross-shore wind, so mornings are key.
Thursday the 17th morning is another solid call: 6ft from the NNW, period 9 seconds, light offshore N wind at 6 mph, energy 764 – strong and clean. Another one for the experts.
After the 17th, it fades. Swells drop to 2ft to 5ft, winds go cross or onshore, and energy falls to the 100s. The 21st Monday morning is a cross-on breeze, so it’s a dud.
Best bet: Monday the 14th morning and Thursday the 17th morning for the biggest, cleanest sets. The rest is just ordinary. Keep an eye on the forecasts – it won’t stay flat forever.
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.
