Beliche surf guide

Beliche is a small, cliff-lined cove located in the Sagres area. It has a sandy beach and faces south, providing a fun spot for surfers looking for some action. Since it often gets crowded and can disappear at high tide, it's best to plan your session accordingly. There’s a car park at the top of the cliffs, and you'll need to take a set of steps down to get to the beach.

The surf at Beliche works best with a hefty swell from the southwest, but it can also pick up southeast and west swells. It handles swell sizes from about 3 ft (1 m) to 12 ft (3.6 m), producing good left and right ramps. The beach gets hollow and can be fast, especially on a strong north-east wind. Most of the good waves break over sand, making it suitable for various board types like shortboards, funboards, longboards, fish, and even bodyboards. Generally, the best tide for surfing is low to mid, with the waves being best for intermediate surfers.

The crowd factor can vary depending on the time of day, so keep in mind it can get pretty packed when conditions are good. The vibe is energetic and competitive, so you might want to be aware of the locals. It's highly advisable to avoid the crumbling cliffs surrounding the spot, as the main wedge can be heavy and tricky to navigate. Overall, the best time to hit Beliche is during the winter months, from December to February.
