The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet start for Beliche. The first few days are a write-off, with very small, weak swell and poor quality surf. The first real chance to get wet won’t come until Saturday the 22nd, but even then, it’s only marginal. We’ll have to wait a bit longer for something worthwhile.
The real story begins to build on Sunday the 23rd. The morning session is the standout for the first week. We’ve got a solid 5.6ft swell from the NNW, with a clean offshore wind, and the wave energy is moderate. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so it’s comfortable. Bring your shortboard and a smile.
The surf settles back down for a couple of days, nothing special. But then, the following week is where it gets interesting. Friday the 28th morning is a real highlight for experienced surfers. The swell is pumping at 7.5ft from the NNW, with a very long period of 11 seconds, giving it that deep, groundswell feel. The combined energy is strong, and the wind is fresh and offshore. This is a big set-up, but with that size and period, it’s going to be lining up much better on the point than in the beach. It’s a powerful one, not for the faint-hearted.
Then, on Tuesday the 1st of September, we get another strong pulse of 7.5ft from the NNW with a 12-second period, very similar energy. The wind is strong offshore, so it’ll be clean but a real battle to paddle into. That’s a proper, old-school day for the experts.
The final highlight pops up on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning looks clean again with a solid 6.6ft from the NNW and a long 11-second period. The wind is light offshore, practically glassy. This is another good option for the experienced crew, and it’s a bit more manageable than the two days before.
Overall, skip the first week until Sunday the 23rd. The true standouts are definitely Friday the 28th of August and Tuesday the 1st of September, with Wednesday the 2nd being a close second. The wait is worth it for these bigger, cleaner pulses.

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.
