Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Porto Batel has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and sad. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special from Sunday the 5th right through to Saturday the 18th. There’s just no energy to speak of, with combined swell energy values barely ticking into double digits most days, mostly hanging around the 15 to 70 mark (weak energy). You’ll see little waist-high dribbles of 0.7ft to 2ft, mostly out of the northwest or west-northwest, with short periods of 8 to 10 seconds. The wind stays cross-off from the north or NNW, so the water will look clean, but there’s simply no push. It’s the kind of setup where you’re better off leaving the board on the rack unless you’re desperate for a paddle. The water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is just about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. After that long dry spell, things finally wake up. The standout window is Monday the 13th. Monday morning at Porto Batel is your best bet. We’ve got a solid 4ft swell from the north-northwest, with enough period (8 seconds) to push through. The energy jumps up to 252 (moderate), and the wind is a nice clean cross-off from the north at 9 mph – that’ll keep the faces smooth and lined up. It’s a point break, exposed to west swell, so this north-northwest direction is a good match. It’s fairly consistent here, so you should get enough waves. Just keep an eye out – crowds are sometimes around, so you might have to share.

After that, it drops off again. The rest of that week and into the weekend is back to small, weak junk.

Then, hang onto your board, because Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th bring a serious shift. Sunday morning, the swell jumps to 8ft from the north-northwest with a short period (7 seconds), and combined energy hits 516 (strong). The problem? The wind turns onshore from the southwest – that’s onshore junk. At 8ft it’s already getting big for beginners, and with onshore wind, expect messy, blown-out conditions. This setup looks way more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing.

By Monday the 20th, it gets even bigger – 12ft from the north, period 9 seconds, and the energy readings are 1755 and 1760 (very strong). That’s expert-only territory. The wind is cross-shore from the northwest, which might clean it up a little, but 12ft on a point break with northerly swell can be a beast. This is for experienced surfers only – dangerous for anyone else.

So bottom line: Your window is Monday morning the 13th – 4ft, clean cross-off wind, at Porto Batel. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. The big stuff on the 19th and 20th is more of a spectacle than a surf session for most of us.

Stay safe, and read the ocean before you paddle out.

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.

Porto Batel is 4 km (2 miles) from Peniche. If you plan a holiday in Peniche, look for hotels and other accommodation in Peniche. Peniche has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
