Baleal Sul Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. Baleal Sul is your only option on the table for the next 16 days, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a long, quiet stretch. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The outlook opens with a pretty grim run. From Saturday the 1st right through until the morning of Tuesday the 11th, it's a total blank. That's a solid 10 days with no worthwhile surf. The combined swell energy is weak, often below 200 (values like 184, 169, 137), the swell is small and short-period, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore most of the time. It's a frustrating start.

Then, on Tuesday morning the 11th, we finally get a glimmer. The morning shows glassy conditions with a light W wind, 4ft of NNW swell at 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 120. It's not going to blow your mind, but the glassy wind will make it clean. The surf is described as "surfable waves but very ordinary." It's a poor score, but it's the first real option in over a week. Wednesday morning the 12th is similar – glassy, calm, 4ft of NNW swell, with a moderate combined energy of 195. That's probably your best call in the whole outlook. A little clean, knee-to-waist high wave.

After that, it gets blown out again. The wind picks up, and from Thursday the 13th onward, it's all onshore, building a bit of size. By Friday the 14th, the swell hits 6ft from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 603 – that's moderate wave energy. But the wind is a solid 19 mph onshore, so it's a messy, choppy mess. Not for paddling, more for kite surfing if you're into that. That pattern holds through to the end of the 16 days with onshore winds and deteriorating conditions.

So, honestly, the standout is the morning of Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th. The glassy conditions make it the only window for clean, small waves. But don't expect much. The rest of the period is a write-off for Baleal Sul.

Rusty.
