The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Porto Batel.

Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’re looking at a few days of very ordinary surf to kick things off, with small, weak waves and mainly cross-offshore winds. The first real chance to get a wave in isn’t until Sunday, the 6th of September, but even then, it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

The standout window is shaping up to be from Tuesday, the 15th of September, through to Thursday, the 17th. That’s where the real quality is.

Let’s get into it. For the early part of the week, you’re looking at small, mostly forgettable surf. Wednesday morning, the 2nd, has a 4ft swell from the NNW with a short period of 8 seconds, and a moderate cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (297). It’s rideable, but nothing to get excited about. This pattern of small, short-period swell and moderate winds holds through the weekend.

Now, Sunday morning, the 6th, brings a bit more life. We get a 5ft swell from the NNW, but the period jumps to 12 seconds, meaning it’s a proper groundswell. The energy is strong (598). The catch is the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy with some ripples. It’s surfable, but not the cleanest.

Monday, the 7th, sees the swell size drop a little, but the period stretches to 13 seconds, which is a very long period. The energy is still strong (611). The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. It’s a point break, so that long period should wrap in nicely.

The real magic starts on Tuesday, the 15th of September. Tuesday morning, the 15th, is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the NNW, period of 8 seconds, and a gentle cross-offshore wind from the east. The wave energy is moderate (500) but the conditions are set to be excellent. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The following morning, Wednesday, the 16th, the swell drops to 3ft but the period is a long 12 seconds from the WNW. The energy is moderate (293) and with a light cross-offshore wind, it’s going to be a clean, fun day on the smaller boards.

Then Thursday morning, the 17th, we get a final burst of quality. A 3ft swell from the WNW with an 11-second period, and that beautiful offshore wind from the NNE. It’s clean, it’s light, and it’s going to be a great session to wrap up the run.

One thing to note: Porto Batel is a point break that is fairly consistent, and it can get crowded sometimes, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself. The swell direction from the NW is right in the sweet spot for the break.

Overall, it’s a slow start, but the second week delivers. The mornings of the 15th, 16th, and 17th of September are the ones to circle. The best single session is Tuesday, the 15th of September, with that 6ft, clean, offshore swell. Get on it.

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.
