The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the Imperial report.
Starting with Saturday the 22nd, Beliche is seeing a 4 ft NW swell but with a moderate onshore breeze, so it’s not looking great. The water temp is 69°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is 355 (weak). It’s surfable but ordinary, and the morning is slightly better. The afternoon fades.
Sunday the 23rd is a no-go. A 7 ft WNW swell building, but the wind is onshore and sloppy. The combined energy jumps to 1260 (moderate), but with S 12 mph wind, it’s messy.
Monday the 24th sees a 7 ft W swell with cross-on wind at 19 mph. The period drops to 8-9 seconds, which is short. Combined energy is 621 (moderate). Lumpy and cross-onshore, so not worth it.
Tuesday the 25th morning offers a slight improvement. A 4 ft WNW swell with light NW 3 mph offshore wind. It’s clean, but energy is only 186. Surfable, but nothing special.
Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are small and weak. Wednesday morning is 2 ft NW, energy 47. Thursday morning has 3 ft NW, energy 107. Thursday afternoon, however, has a 4 ft NW swell with NNW 16 mph offshore wind and clean surface. Energy is 223 (weak to moderate). That’s the best of a poor stretch.
Now, Friday the 28th morning is the real standout. A 7 ft NW groundswell with 11-second period and N 16 mph offshore wind. Combined energy is 1112 (strong). That’s clean and powerful. The afternoon pushes to 8 ft NW, but wind picks up to 22 mph cross-off. That’s expert territory.
Saturday the 29th morning still has a 6 ft NW swell with N 22 mph offshore wind, energy 1123 (strong). It’s clean, but the wind is fresh. The afternoon drops to 6 ft, cleaner but less energy. The best window is Friday morning.
From Sunday the 30th through the start of September, the swell drops. Sunday morning is 4 ft NNW with N 12 mph offshore wind, energy 189. Ordinary. Monday the 31st is even smaller, 2 ft NW, energy 96. Tuesday 1st September has a 5 ft NW swell with offshore wind, energy 331. Surfable but average.
The next real standout is Saturday the 5th of September. A 4 ft NW swell with a 13-second period – long period groundswell – and N 16 mph offshore wind. Combined energy is 557 (moderate). Clean and long period, good for reefs and points. The morning is the pick. The afternoon has a 5 ft NW with 13-second period, but cross-off wind.
Sunday the 6th September morning also looks promising: 4 ft NW with 12-second period and WNW 6 mph cross-off wind, energy 400. Light breeze, clean. Nice.
Overall, the best is Friday the 28th morning at Beliche (Algarve) – 7 ft NW groundswell with offshore wind and strong energy. That’s the standout. The Saturday the 5th September morning is a close second for cleaner, longer period waves. The rest is small or windy.
Rusty out.

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.
