The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Beliche over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first solid call isn't until Sunday the 13th. That afternoon things finally come together. We’ve got a groundswell wrapping in from the NW at 4 ft with a long 13-second period, and the wind goes glassy – ENE at just 3 mph. That’s going to be clean as a whistle. The combined energy is solid too, sitting at (431), so there’s some grunt behind it. For an advanced spot like Beliche, this is the kind of session you wait for. Crowds are often here, so expect company, but for that quality, it’s worth it. The water temp is 67°, which is 4° colder than average for this time of year – that’s a notable chill, so suit up.
After that, Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are pretty ordinary – small and nothing to write home about. Wednesday the 16th sees a bump in size with a NNW swell hitting 7 ft in the morning and 7 ft in the afternoon, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is strong. It’s a powerful NNW wind at 25 mph in the morning. The combined energy is high (649 and 696), but that wind makes it a messy, blustery affair – really only for the hardcore or the kite crew. Not a clean paddle session.
Now, the real standout comes on Thursday the 17th. The afternoon shows a beautiful NW swell at 4 ft with a 11-second period, combined energy of (715), and light NNW wind at just 6 mph going offshore. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves. This is your pick of the first week.
Friday the 18th afternoon also looks tidy – 5 ft NW swell with light NNE offshore wind, clean faces. Good backup session.
The second week gets quiet again from the 19th onwards. We see some long-period groundswell on the 20th (15 seconds, 1-2 ft) and again on the 25th, but the wind is mostly moderate or strong offshore, making it hard to paddle into or just too lumpy. There’s a very promising blip on Friday the 25th afternoon: a serious NW groundswell at 6 ft, 16-second period, with combined energy through the roof at (2015). The wind is light and cross-off. This is the big one for the whole period – excellent conditions for experienced surfers, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it. That long period will work best at the point at Beliche.
Bottom line: Sunday the 13th afternoon for glassy perfection, Thursday the 17th afternoon for clean, solid waves, and keep your fingers crossed for Friday the 25th afternoon – that could be the session of the forecast.
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.
