The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, with the Imperial version. Let’s break down what Beliche has got cooking.
First thing – the water’s at 66°, which is about 5° colder than normal. That’s a big anomaly, so don’t even think about a shorty. You’ll be frozen.
The week starts slow. Friday the 11th has small 3ft waves from the NNW, with a light cross-off wind. Just surfable, nothing special (combined energy 151).
Saturday the 12th is the early pick. Morning offshore breeze at 5 mph, 3ft NNW swell, and only 82 combined energy – weak but glassy clean. The afternoon bumps up a touch to 118. It’s small, but it’s your cleanest option.
Sunday the 13th afternoon is the first real standout. 4ft NW swell with a proper 13-second period, light offshore-cross wind, and 431 combined energy. Clean, longer-period groundswell – perfect for the point at Beliche. Not for beginners, but everyone else will have fun.
Monday the 14th holds 4ft NW swell but the quality fades to ordinary.
Wednesday the 16th gets wild. 8ft to 10ft NNW swell with strong 25 mph winds. Combined energy hits 1275. That’s expert-only, short-period junk. Honestly, it’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.
Thursday the 17th morning is the absolute highlight. 7ft NNW swell, 9-second period, moderate offshore wind, and 1324 combined energy. “Very good surf conditions” – big, clean, powerful waves. It’s the best of the whole outlook. Advanced surfers only.
Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are solid paddling days with 5ft to 6ft NW swell and clean conditions.
Then from Sunday the 20th all the way through to Saturday the 26th, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The wind swings east and southeast, cross-shore and cross-onshore, ruining the surface. Even when combined energy hits 2092 on the 25th, it’s lumpy, choppy, and blown out. Not worth your time.
Bottom line: Saturday the 12th for small clean waves, but the big standout is Thursday morning the 17th – 7ft NW, offshore wind, and plenty of grunt. After that, the forecast goes quiet and ugly. Don’t miss that Thursday window.
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.
