The Lowdown
Alright, checkin’ in on Baleal Sul for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a rough outlook. Water temp’s bang on normal for summer — 68°F — and the anomaly’s tiny, just a few tenths.
Bottom line: from Friday 31 July all the way out to 15 August, every single window is flagged as ‘poor surf conditions.’ Nothing’s breaking through as a solid go.
The best you’re gonna see is on Monday, 3 August, in the morning. There’s a small waist-high swell out of the W, maybe 2 ft, with a slight cross-off breeze from the SW at only 3 mph. The combined wave energy is low (74), but the wind is clean — that’s the cleanest we get in the whole run. Swell period’s about 9 seconds, average shape but workable. Baleal Sul’s a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot that’s inconsistent, so if you’re a new surfer, you might score a few soft ones. Watch out though, crowds do show up sometimes.
Anything from 10 August onward pushes bigger — up to 5 or 6 ft — but the wind is howling onshore from the NNW at 15-20 mph, with short periods. The energy number climbs over 300 on 13 August, but those are ugly, messy, blown-out waves. Not worth paddling out. Honestly, the bigger blown-out swell with that consistent onshore flow might be more interesting for the kite crowd than us surfers.
No gold here. Keep the board in the car and wait for a better run.

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.
