The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the charts for Baleal Sul.
Alright, honestly? It’s a bit of a slow burner for the next week or so. We’ve got swell on the way, but the wind is going to be a real pain for a while. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t pop up until the morning of Wednesday the 29th, and even then, it’s only just scraping into the "maybe" zone. There’s a solid 10-day gap from now until then where the conditions just aren't worth the paddle out.
So, let’s talk about the standout. The best of the whole 16-day window looks like it’s shaping up for the morning of Thursday, 30 July. We’ve got a decent 7ft swell rolling in from the NNW, and the wind is set to swing around to a light offshore from the SSE. That’s the magic combo. The wind will be coming straight off the land, cleaning the place right up, turning those waves into proper little peaks. The water temp is sitting around 68°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in a spring suit.
Now, because we’re getting a bit of size there – 7ft is pushing into the zone where it’s going to be a handful for the beginners. You’ll want to have a few solid sessions under your belt before paddling out on that day. The combined energy is reading at 787 (moderate), so there’s plenty of push behind it. The swell period is a solid 9 seconds, which is a good, workable groundswell that usually gives you a nice, powerful wave face to work with.
The other morning to keep an eye on – and this one is a bit further out, so treat it with a little caution – is Sunday, 2 August. The swell drops right back to 4ft, but we’re looking at glassy conditions with a light southerly wind. It’s not going to be a world-beater, but it’ll be clean and fun for the longboard or a fish.
For the rest of that first week, it’s mostly onshore, choppy, and messy. The wind is howling out of the NNW at 15-18 mph for a few days there, which is going to make it a bit of a battle. If you’re a kite surfer, that might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a pass.
So, to sum it up: be patient. The 30th of July is your target. Get there early for the cleanest conditions.
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.

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.
