The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Baleal Sul.
To be straight with you, this is a bit of a tough stretch. The swell is there, but for the next week and a half, the wind is just shocking. It's mostly onshore, often a fresh breeze, and the surf quality is rated poor. The water is sitting at 65.3°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a thicker spring suit.
First real chance of something decent doesn't pop up until the morning of the 13th of September. There's a nice 3.6ft swell from the NW, with a long 13-second period, and the wind swings around to a light easterly. That's a cross-shore wind, which keeps things clean. The combined energy is moderate (565). It's still a small day, but it's the best we've seen in a while.
The 14th of September morning is similar. We've got a 3.9ft NW swell, 11-second period, and light wind from the north. It's a cross-onshore, but the energy is up at 479. Still marginal, but you could get a few.
Now, if you can wait, the morning of the 22nd of September is where things get interesting. The wind goes light and easterly, which is a cross-offshore breeze, keeping the surface glassy. The swell is small, only 2.3ft, but it's a clean NW groundswell with an 11-second period. The energy is weak (127), but for a tiny clean wave on a sheltered break, it's surfable. The 23rd of September morning looks similar with a light ESE wind, also clean. These are the standout windows in the whole forecast.
Remember, this is an inconsistent spot that's sheltered. The combined energy values are mostly moderate to strong over the first week, but the onshore wind ruins it. Because of the constant onshore wind, a lot of this period is going to be chopped up and messy.
So, the call is: wait for the 13th for a slight chance of a clean-ish wave, but the real pick is the 22nd and 23rd of September mornings for some clean, tiny waves. Everything else is a write-off with the wind.
