The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Porto Armando is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first real sign of any wave action doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 16th, and even then it’s barely a tickle. From now until then, it’s flat, flat, flat. The water is running a very unusual 83°F at the start, so it’s much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only faint heartbeat in this whole 16-day window comes on Wednesday morning, the 16th of September. We’ll see a tiny 1ft swell rumble in from the SE with a period of 6 seconds, giving us a combined wave energy of only (6). That’s weak, no doubt. But the wind is a light offshore from the NNW, which will keep the surface clean. It’s a beginner-sized wave, so if you’re just learning, this is the least-bad moment to get wet. Other than that, it’s mostly onshore slop or flat calm. There’s a few glassy mornings from the 20th onwards, but no swell to go with them.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best on offer is that tiny, clean Wednesday morning, but it’s a far cry from a proper session. This is one of those periods where you’re better off leaving the board in the car and watching the horizon. Forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope, but as it stands, it’s a quiet stretch.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Porto Armando 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 Porto Armando 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.
