The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you; it’s a pretty grim picture for the Baleal Sul area. The forecast is showing a long stretch of poor surf conditions, and honestly, it’s tough to find a real bright spot. We're looking at a gap of about 13 days before things even start to look a little interesting.
The first real chance of anything decent might be Saturday morning, the 18th of September. We’ll see a small bump of 3 ft with a weak 6-second period from the WSW. The combined swell energy is low (110), so it’s not packing much punch. The wind is glassy though, which is a major positive, so it might be clean. But it’s small and short-period, so not a standout.
The next day, Sunday the 19th of September, could be the pick of the lot. Saturday morning has a cross-offshore breeze with a 4 ft swell from the WSW, but the period is still a short 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (287). Then Sunday morning, we get a bump from the NNW at 3 ft but with a longer 13-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore. The combined energy is moderate (515). It’s not going to be pumping, but for this forecast window, it’s the best on offer. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
For the rest of the period, the wind is mainly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is messy. With the consistent onshore wind and the beach break setup, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The spot is inconsistent and sheltered, so it's not a surprise to see a blank run like this.
Signing off, 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.
