The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I'm lookin' at our local slice of the Atlantic. The next couple of days are a write-off, flat and messy, so we've got a bit of a wait on our hands. But hold on to your boards, because there’s a proper gem hiding in the second week.

We kick off on Monday, the 24th of August, and honestly, it's a bummer. The swell is over 7 ft but with a stiff onshore wind and a period of 8 to 9 seconds, it’s just all chop and wash-through. The combined energy’s sitting at 661, moderate, but useless with that wind. By Tuesday morning the 25th, the wind drops to glassy, with a smaller 5 ft swell from the WNW. The water's 68°, which is a good bit colder than usual for late August, so grab the thicker suit. It's surfable but ordinary—a quick paddle to wet the hair, nothing more.

That glassy window is brief. Wednesday the 26th is small and choppy again, and the whole rest of the week stays pretty average. We get a clean window Thursday afternoon the 27th with 6 ft from the WNW, but the wind is up and the energy is just moderate (453). Not enough to get excited about.

Now, Friday the 28th of August is the standout, no question. Friday morning at Beliche is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 8 ft groundswell from the NW, a 10-second period, and clean offshore winds from the NNW. The combined energy jumps way up to 1146, which means there’s proper grunt in the water. This is going to be very good, surfable by anyone with a bit of experience, but at 8 ft it's getting a bit heavy for beginners. The offshore wind will hold it open and make it clean. This area is a sheltered beach and point setup, and the swell direction from the NW is just what it likes to see. Crowds are often here, so expect some company, but that quality is worth sharing. The afternoon gets a bit windier, and the swell pushes 8 ft (energy of 1570) – that’s expert territory only, so the morning session is the move.

Saturday the 29th still has some leftover NW swell, around 5 to 6 ft, and clean offshore wind, but the energy has dropped. It’s fair, but nothing like Friday.

Then we hit a long flat spell. From Sunday the 30th all the way through to Saturday the 5th of September, it’s mostly small, weak, and wind-blown. A few moments of clean surf but nothing worth driving for. The energy readings are in the low 100s or below, a total drop-off.

There's a flicker of hope on Sunday the 6th of September with a 4 ft NW swell and a 10-second period, and then Monday the 7th of September shapes up as a sneaky second call. It’s smaller, only 3 ft, but with a 10-second period and clean conditions, the energy (435) is moderate and the winds are light. For a mellow day with a log or a fish, that afternoon has some potential, as long as you don't mind a bit of a cross-offshore breeze.

So to sum it up: hold tight this week. Friday the 28th of August is your big session. After that, the next real hope is Monday the 7th of September for a smaller, cleaner, easier paddle.

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.
