The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a long look at Baleal Sul, and I’ll be honest with you, the first week and a half is a tough slog. We’re not seeing any real action until the 16th of August, so you’ve got a solid week of waiting ahead.

The pattern starts on Friday the 7th of August with a tiny 3ft swell from the NNW, but it’s poor surf conditions with a 9 mph onshore wind. That's basically a write-off. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are flat and messy with weak 2ft to 3ft swell and cross-onshore winds. The entire first week is a bust.

The first real glimmer shows up early on Sunday the 16th of August. The wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a 7ft swell from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 570 (moderate wave energy), and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions". This is it – the standout of the whole outlook. The swell is a bit punchy at 7ft, so it’s going to be pushing into the more experienced surfer's zone, but those glassy conditions will make it clean as a whistle. Short period means it’ll be a bit dumpy on the take-off, but for a beach break, this is as good as it gets in this window.

After that, Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th drop off again. Swell is still decent at 6ft to 6ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-offshore, and the conditions are just "surfable but very ordinary". Wednesday the 19th morning sees a clean 4ft NNW swell with light offshore SSE wind, which is a nice little window for the beginners, but the energy is low (223). The real second highlight shows up on the morning of Thursday the 20th of August. The wind goes glassy again, and we’ve got a 6ft swell from the NNW, period of 8 seconds, with combined energy of 485 (moderate wave energy). It’s a similar setup to the 16th, but a touch smaller, making it a bit more accessible. Should be a good session.

The water temperature is sitting at 68°F with a -0.4°F anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year. No surprises there.

The tail end of the outlook from the 21st to the 22nd of August fades back into small, onshore or cross-shore wind, so nothing to get excited about.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a total write-off. The best bet is the morning of Sunday the 16th of August – that glassy 7ft swell is your best shot. The morning of Thursday the 20th of August is a close second, with a bit more manageable size and again glassy conditions. Get on it.

Rusty.

Information about the Baleal Sul Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Baleal Sul provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Baleal Sul can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Baleal Sul 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 (Baleal Sul) 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 Baleal Sul 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.
