The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what Beliche is serving up over the next couple of weeks.
It's a real mixed forecast with a lot of waiting. This beach and point break is fairly consistent, but the wind is gonna be a pain in the neck for most of it. The real gem doesn't show up until the weekend, and it's a proper beauty.
Right off the bat, Tuesday the 15th is just a nibble. You'll see some 2ft NW swell, but that north-northwest wind hits 35 km/h in the afternoon, trashing the surface. Wednesday the 16th gets bigger, pushing 8ft of NW swell – that's expert territory – but it's coupled with a strong offshore that makes paddling a chore. Not the day.
Thursday the 17th sits around 8ft NW, and while the morning wind is okay from the north, it's still marginal. Friday the 18th is the first real nod of hope. The morning has 7ft from the NNW with a moderate offshore, and we finally get a "good surf conditions" call. That's a session for the big boys.
Now, Saturday the 19th of September is your day. The morning is iffy, but the afternoon is where it's at. We've got a 6-7ft swell from the NNW, straight out of the optimum NW direction. The period is a long 14 seconds, meaning proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a strong 1598. And the kicker? The wind drops to a light 10 km/h from the northeast, putting it cross-offshore. The surface will be glassy. It's gonna be clean, lined up, and powerful. That's your standout.
Sunday the 20th drops back to about 4-5ft and gets ruined by a strong cross-shore. From Monday the 21st through Friday the 25th, it's mostly a bust. The swell hangs around from the NW between 3ft and 5ft, but that constant east to southeast cross-wind just chops everything to pieces. A kiteboarder might have a field day, but for a paddle surfer, it's ugly.
We get a tiny tease on Sunday the 27th of September. The swell is small, about 2ft, but the wind is dead calm – glassy as can be. It's surfable, but nothing special. The next morning, Monday the 28th, is similar, then the afternoon jumps back up to 7ft from the WNW, though it looks a bit lumpy. The last real shot comes on Tuesday the 29th of September morning: a clean 5ft NW swell with a moderate offshore wind. A solid weekday option.
Your absolute best bet, the one to clear your schedule for, is Saturday the 19th of September in the afternoon. Friday the 18th morning and Tuesday the 29th morning are your solid fallbacks.
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.
