The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Rusty here, straight talk.
We’ve got a slow start for Beliche – a few rough days before the surf gets good. The real quality doesn’t show up until Friday the 28th of August. Before that, expect small, choppy, and mostly cross-onshore wind. Combined energy is under 400 (weak to moderate). Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing strange.
Beliche is a beach and point break, fairly consistent, best with NW swell. Early on, Monday and Tuesday are poor – small, messy, and cross-onshore from the SW. Tuesday morning (25th August) gives a short window of glassy conditions with 5ft WNW swell, 8-second period, combined energy around 232 (weak to moderate). It’s surfable but nothing to write home about.
Wednesday and Thursday stay poor with choppy and cross-shore winds. Crowds are “often” here, so expect company if it’s decent.
The real standout is Friday morning, 28th August. Clear sky, gentle cross-offshore wind from the NNW, 8ft NW swell with an 11-second period. That’s developing groundswell. Combined energy is 1627 (strong). Conditions are glassy and clean. This is the best session of the whole outlook. Saturday 29th morning is also strong – fresh offshore wind from the N, 6ft NW swell, 10-second period, combined energy over 1000 (strong). Clean, powerful, and well-shaped.
From Sunday 30th through Tuesday 1st September, offshore wind blows 19-25 mph from the N/NNW. The surface is clean but the wind is so strong it’s a real battle to paddle out. Swell runs 3ft to 7ft but with “hard to paddle into” notes. Combined energy ranges 177 to 790 (moderate). This is better suited for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
Second week highlight: Friday 4th September morning. Gentle offshore wind from the N, 7ft NW swell, 8-second period, combined energy 468 (moderate). Clean conditions and manageable size. Saturday 5th morning jumps to 8ft NNW swell with fresh offshore wind and combined energy 1142 (strong) – that’s expert territory.
Monday 7th September brings long-period groundswell, 14 seconds, from the WNW with light wind and clean conditions. Swell is only 3ft but combined energy is 769 (moderate). That long period will favor the point section at Beliche over the beach break. Tuesday 8th morning is similar with moderate offshore wind and 3ft WNW swell.
If you want the best, aim for Friday 28th August morning or Saturday 29th August morning. Everything else is either too small, too wind-affected, or too big for most.

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.
