The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at Baleal Sul. Honestly, for the first week, it’s pretty grim. There’s no surf worth talking about from August 29th through to September 4th. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the waves are just a mess. There’s a big empty gap there.
Your first real chance comes on Saturday the 5th of September. The morning shows a 2ft NW swell at 10 seconds, with a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is moderate (574). It’s not going to be perfect, but it’s the first thing that’s even close to rideable. Conditions are marginal, with some small wind ripples. The afternoon turns onshore again, so hit it early.
After that, it goes quiet again until the second week. The standouts in the long-range are Friday the 11th and Sunday the 13th of September. On Friday the 11th morning, a 4ft NW swell with a very long period of 15 seconds rolls in, with nearly no wind from the WNW. That’s a lot of energy (779) and very clean conditions. That long period will make the waves powerful, but at a beach break, it might close out a bit. Perfect for a reef or point, but here it’ll be a little tricky. Sunday the 13th morning is similar: a 4ft NNW swell with a 14-second period and a glassy light north wind (5 km/h). The energy is strong (797). Again, clean but a challenging long-period swell for the setup.
Water temperature is about what you’d expect for this time of year, around 67 °F.
So, for the whole 16 days: Saturday September 5th morning for a small, average wave, and then keep a note on the mornings of the 11th and 13th for much cleaner but more powerful, long-period groundswell that could offer some fun if you can handle the closeouts.

A general guide to surfing at Baleal Sul can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
