Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cooking.
Alright, so right off the bat, we’ve got a long dry spell. The next week and a half is pretty much a write-off. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until we get into the second week. You’re looking at a solid gap of about 11 days with no real recommendations, just tiny, messy dribble from July 6th right through to the 16th.
We finally see a little bit of life on Sunday, July 12th. Baleal Sul (Peniche) cleans up nicely with some cross-offshore winds and a small, surfable 4ft swell coming from the NW. The energy is moderate (193 combined energy), but the period is short at 9 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat and disorganised. Perfect for a beginner session if you’re not picky, but nothing to get the heart racing. The wind stays kind through Monday, July 13th morning with clean conditions and that same 4ft NW swell. The water temp is around 67°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
Now, for the standout. You have to wait for it. Monday, July 20th things get interesting, and Tuesday, July 21st is the real eye-opener. We get a proper pulse of NW swell. Tuesday morning shows a solid 8ft swell from the NNW, but here’s the kicker – the energy is huge, 847 combined energy, and it builds into the afternoon with an 8ft swell and a massive 1131 combined energy. The period is still short, though (9 seconds), and the onshore winds are going to be fresh, so this is going to be brutal. It’s going to be a churning, wind-affected mess, which is a shame because that’s a lot of water moving. For an expert on a good board, this is a raw, powerful challenge, but it will be a battle. The poor conditions rating suggests the wind and short period are going to blow it out. Honestly, at that size and with those onshore winds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So the best on offer, if you play the waiting game: Baleal Sul on Sunday, July 12th for a clean, small beginner-friendly wave, or Tuesday, July 21st for a raw, expert-only slugfest, if you can handle the howling wind.
Stay safe, keep your wax fresh.
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.
