The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a hard look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. It's a weird one, I won't lie to you. We've got a bit of a quiet stretch to start before some bigger, but pretty wild, energy shows up.

The first real chance to get wet won't be until Friday morning, the 11th. Before that, Thursday the 10th is a write-off – there's some knee-high slop with a short period and bumpy cross-off wind, so don't even bother.

Friday the 11th morning at Beliche, you've got clean, crumbly lines coming in from the NNW. Swell is a small 4ft, which is weak for the beach. The combined energy is moderate (223), but the period is short, so it'll be a bit fat. It’s surfable but ordinary stuff.

Saturday the 12th morning sees the swell dropping to 3ft from the NNW. The offshore NNE breeze is a major positive – it'll be glassy clean. Energy is low (87), so you're on a longboard or a foamie, just enjoying the morning. The water temp at 67° is much colder than normal for this time of year – a solid 4° below average – so you'll want a good 3/2 and maybe boots.

Sunday the 13th morning is a no-go – it's cross-shore on a tiny 2ft NW groundswell with a very long 14-second period. That combo at a beach setup like this just means straight closeouts and no shape.

Monday the 14th morning picks up a bit with 4ft from the NW at 11 seconds. Clean conditions with a light cross-off wind, but the combined energy is moderate (369). It's still pretty average.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting, but not necessarily good. From Wednesday the 16th, the swell jumps. Wednesday morning you get 6ft – that's already too much for beginners – and it kicks to 7ft in the afternoon. That's expert territory. The energy goes strong (766), but it's all from a short-period NW windswell. The wind is a strong 25 mph offshore, so the face will be clean, but good luck paddling out and holding your ground. It's going to be a battle.

Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th mornings are the highlights. Thursday morning has 6ft from the NNW with a moderate offshore wind. The combined energy is strong (686), and the moderate offshore will groom it. It's still a short period, so expect dumpy, punchy waves. Friday the 18th morning is cleaner – gentle offshore wind on 5ft from the NW with moderate energy (452). That's the pick of the first week for a confident surfer.

After that, the period gets very long again around the 20th and 21st, with swell coming from the NW. This is a classic caveat: long-period groundswells like this (12 to 14 seconds) can break too straight and fast on a beach break like Beliche. The wind will be cross, creating bumpy conditions, so don't get too excited.

The run continues with more variable conditions through the 24th and 25th. The last call I see is Friday the 25th morning: 3ft from the NNW with a long 13-second period and a moderate offshore breeze. Clean, but tiny. The combined energy is surprisingly strong (529) for the size – that's the long-period juice.

Honestly, out of all of it, the real standout is Thursday morning the 17th for those who can handle it, and Friday morning the 18th for cleaner, more manageable power. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
