The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Beliche. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got a couple of windows that are worth getting excited about.
The overall pattern shows a lot of fresh, strong offshore winds blowing through the early days, which keeps the ocean clean but makes it a real battle to paddle into anything. The wave energy is moderate to strong, but the conditions are often just too raw. We’ll see a real lull in the middle of the week before the energy starts to build again for a promising run towards the end of the second week.
Right now, the water is sitting at 67°, which is a very unusual 4° colder than average for this time of year. You’ll feel that chill when you get in.
The first real standout that catches my eye is Thursday, September 10th. The morning has a solid 6ft swell from the NW with a short period of 8 seconds, but the wind is a strong 19 mph offshore. It’s doable but a grind. The real magic is Thursday afternoon: the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-offshore, the swell settles to a clean 6ft from the NNW, and the wave energy is a solid 419. This is the best of the first week, offering clean, shapely waves that are fun for intermediate to advanced surfers.
The other big moment to circle on your calendar is Saturday, September 19th. The morning has a proper 6ft swell from the NW with a short period (9 seconds), but the wind is a light cross-offshore, making it very clean. The wave energy is strong at 516. The afternoon holds up nearly as well with a 6ft swell from the NNW. This is a full day of clean, punchy surf that will be a highlight for anyone who gets out there.
There’s a notable gap of poor to marginal conditions from the 6th through the 9th, and then again from the 15th to the 18th. The second week is more promising than the first, with the 19th being the absolute standout.
So, to sum it up: wait for the wind to ease on Thursday the 10th, and then lock in the weekend of the 19th. That’s where the gold is.
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.
