The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a couple of weeks to look at, and it starts off slow before we get a couple of decent windows.
The first few days are pretty flat and bumpy. Thursday and Friday are a total pass with weak, short-period chop. Saturday morning shows a little 3-foot pulse from the NW with a clean offshore wind, but it’s nothing to write home about. The real action kicks off on Sunday morning, the 6th of September. We get a proper-looking 4ft NW groundswell (12-second period, moderate energy around 428) with a clean, moderate offshore from the NNW. That’s the first real highlight. This is Beliche, a beach and point that tucks away from the NW. Water temp is about average for the season.
Sunday afternoon, the wind picks up and goes cross-off, so it’s less clean. Monday morning, the 7th of September, bumps up to 4ft from the WNW with a nice 13-second period (strong energy at 868), but the offshore wind is gusting to 22 mph. It’ll be clean, but that’s a lot of wind to fight. The real winner is that Sunday morning window.
After that, things go south. Monday afternoon through the second week is a mess of onshore wind, short-period slop, or just not enough swell. The 8th and 9th of September see some bigger numbers, like 6ft and even 7ft, but those are short-period junk (7-8 seconds) that will be fat and unruly, especially with strong offshore winds making it hard to stay on the wave. That’s expert territory or kite-surfing conditions given the size and chop.
The middle of the week, around the 11th and 12th, the swell drops to around 2-3ft. There’s a glassy moment on Monday the 14th of September with tiny 2ft waves, but the energy (102) is weak. It’d be a fun longboard session at best.
Then, out of the blue, Wednesday morning the 16th of September looks fantastic. We’ve got clean 5ft from the NW (moderate-to-strong energy at 492) with glassy conditions. That is a proper window for Beliche. The period is a bit short at 8 seconds, so it won’t have that deep-water punch, but it’ll be perfectly smooth. The 17th and 18th of September hold some decent 6ft and 3ft NW swells, but the cross-off breezes will keep them from being perfect.
Verdict: The one true standout is Sunday morning, the 6th of September. That 4ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period and clean offshore wind is your best bet for a smooth, fun session. The Wednesday morning, the 16th of September is a close second with glassy conditions and bigger waves, but the shorter period might make it a bit lumpy. Everything else is for the committed.
Rusty out.

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.
