The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Baleal Sul.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s a pretty grim stretch. There’s a long gap of nothing but onshore slop and choppy, weak waves, so you’d be better off changin’ the spark plugs or waxin’ a longboard you don’t plan on usin’. The real action, if you can call it that, doesn’t show up until the 15th of August.
The first real flicker of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 15th. The swell jumps up to 7ft from the NNW, paired with a glassy, clean surface. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 67°F. That’s the standout, but it’s a short-lived window. By the afternoon, the wind swings cross-on and it’s all over. The 16th morning looks promising too, with an 8ft NNW swell, a light cross-offshore breeze, and clean conditions. The combined energy is strong (900). That’s another good window, but the wind picks up again by the afternoon. The 17th morning has a solid 8ft NNW swell with moderate energy (952), but the wind is already cross-onshore and light, leaving it marginal.
For the rest of the 16-day run, the wind is just too strong and onshore to get any clean rides out of the 3ft to 6ft lumps. The 8ft+ days are solid, but that’s only for the experienced crew. Beginners should steer clear of that 8ft stuff.
So, the best on offer is the morning of the 16th for a punchy, clean session. The 15th morning is a close second, with that glassy surface. These are the only two standouts. Everything else is a washout.
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.
