Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, truth be told, it’s a grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid block of tiny, weak surf with next to no energy for the first week and a half. The combined swell energy barely scratches above 30 for most of that time, barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. You’re basically looking at flat, clean conditions but no push to ride. The best you can hope for is a bit of glass, but without any swell, that’s just a pretty lake.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday the 12th when a pulse of NW swell finally bumps the combined energy into the moderate range (220), with chest to head-high waves at 4 ft. But the wind is cross-shore, and the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and weak. Still, it’s the first thing that’s worth paddling out for.
The standout window, and I mean the only real chance for a decent session, is Monday morning the 13th at Beliche. We’ve got clean, moderate offshore winds from the NNW, with the swell holding at 4 ft from the NW. The period is still short at 8 seconds, so it’s not groundswell, but the offshore wind will make it feel better than it looks. The combined energy is moderate (178), so there’s enough to get you down the line. Expect a few others out there, but nothing insane. This is the one to aim for if you’re desperate.
After that, it’s back to intermittent small pulses and strong winds. Tuesday the 14th has a morning of fresh offshore winds, but the swell is dropping to 3 ft with a long period (11 seconds), which is a bit of a tease at a beach break. It’ll be walled up and straight. Saturday the 18th offers a small morning window of moderate offshore wind and 2 ft swell, but it’s tiny. The rest of the period stays small, with strong winds and poor conditions.
To be blunt, the only session that’s even close to a recommendation is that Monday morning the 13th. Everything else is flat or a blown-out mess. It’s a tough run, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

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.
