The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty barren stretch. We’re looking at a long, flat spell that runs from now, the 15th of July, all the way through to the morning of the 20th. That’s nearly a full week of barely a ripple. The wind is howling out of the north-northwest most days, and while it’s clean offshore at Beliche, the swell just isn’t there. The combined energy is pitiful – down in the single digits and teens – so you’re better off finding something else to do.
We do get a little pulse on the 20th of July. Monday morning sees a jump to 4ft from the NNW, but with a short period of 6 seconds, it’s going to be a bit of a messy, crumbly wave. The energy is there – 161 – but it’s still labelled as poor surf. The wind is a fresh offshore, so it’ll be clean, but it’s not going to be any kind of classic.
The real standout, the only one worth marking on the calendar, is the 26th of July. That Sunday morning, the swell builds to 6ft from the NNW, with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 472, which is a solid, moderate punch. The wind is fresh and offshore from the north, so Beliche should be looking proper clean. That’s the pick of the bunch. Any later than that, and the size drops back down, and the wind stays solid.
Overall, it’s a lean forecast. The flat patch up front is a drag, and even the bump on the 26th is only for the more experienced crew – 6ft is getting into the territory where beginners might struggle. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
