The Lowdown
Rusty here. Look, I hate to say it, but Baleal Sul has got nothing for you the next 16 days. From Monday July 13 right through Tuesday July 28, every single session is a dud – poor surf conditions all the way. There’s one blip on Tuesday July 21 morning that’s rated as marginal, but even that’s not worth getting wet for.
Water temp on Monday morning July 13 is 63°F, which is about 4°F colder than normal for this time of year – that’s properly chilly. The swell’s a measly 2ft from the west, period just 8 seconds, combined energy a weak 96. Winds are light cross-off, but there’s nothing to ride.
The whole first week stays flat or blown out. Heights rarely crack 2ft, periods short, winds mostly cross-on or onshore. Friday July 17 has a direct onshore breeze and swell drops to 1ft. Saturday July 18 sees a bump to 3-4ft but it’s short-period windswell with onshore winds. Sunday July 19 through Monday July 20 brings 5ft NNW swell at 8 seconds, but cross-on winds mess it up – energy gets up to 255 but it’s chop.
Tuesday July 21 morning is the only moment the forecast gives a 1/10 rating: 5ft swell at 9 seconds, light cross-on breeze, still poor. After that it’s onshore winds and messy. By Sunday July 26, the swell picks up to 4ft but with a long 11-second period and strong energy (436 morning, 646 afternoon). Sounds good, but onshore winds ruin it. The final two days (July 27-28) see solid 7-8ft swell from the NNW, but onshore winds blow hard – only for experts who don’t mind a beating.
Baleal Sul is a sheltered beginner break, inconsistent, and can get crowded sometimes. But right now it’s a total bust. This area can go through dry spells, but forecasts change – keep checking. For now, find something else to do.

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.
