The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, chewing over the Porto Batel window for the next couple of weeks.
It's a slow start and a long wait before any real juice shows up. A couple of sessions are looking like the ones to aim for, but you’ll have to be ready to pick your moment.
Right now, it’s flat. The first week is a bust. Thursday the 30th of July is showing a tiny 1 ft swell from the WNW, but the energy is weak at 69. The water is 68°F, about average for the time of year, but that’s the only nice thing to say. The wind is cross-off but too strong for these ankle-snappers. This poor run of tiny surf and meager conditions stretches all the way to the 7th of August.
The first real chance to surf comes on Friday morning, the 7th of August. We’ve got a 4 ft WNW swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 216, a solid moderate bump. The wind is a light, clean cross-off from the NNW, and conditions are expected to be good. This is the first time it’s worth getting wet, and it’ll be clean.
After a brief lull, Sunday morning the 9th of August looks like another goodie. The swell holds at 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, and energy sits at 218. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the north. It should be clean and fun, with a bit better shape from the longer period.
Now, the standout for size and power is Tuesday the 11th of August right through to Wednesday the 12th of August. A proper NNW swell rolls in, hitting 8 ft. The period is 8-9 seconds, and the energy goes through the roof – hitting 689 on Tuesday morning and peaking at 1126 on Wednesday morning. That’s strong to very strong energy. At 8 ft, this is strictly for the experts, and the northerly cross-off wind will be blowing a fresh 20-22 mph. It’ll be clean but powerful and raw. That much swell and wind could make it a better kite session for a while.
That big swell fades into Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th of August, dropping from 6 ft to 5 ft, but the wind turns onshore by Friday, messing up the surf.
So, the real gems are the Friday morning of the 7th of August and the morning of Sunday the 9th of August for the best blend of clean, surfer-friendly waves. The big pulse on the 11th and 12th is one for the charger crew only.
Rusty.

Information about the Porto Batel Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Porto Batel provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Porto Batel can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Porto Batel 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 (Porto Batel) 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 Porto Batel 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.
