The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming down the line for Porto Batel over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak, and messy surf, so don't bother paddling out just yet. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a solid 5° colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a good thick wetsuit.
Things start to wake up mid-week. Wednesday the 16th sees a big pulse of swell from the NNW, jumping up to a solid 10ft. That's expert territory though, and it's coming with strong 25 mph winds. The energy is massive, but it's going to be a beast and pretty unruly. The conditions stay big and clean through Thursday and Friday the 17th and 18th, with solid 8ft to 10ft waves from the NNW and strong winds. This is all for the experienced crew only, and even then, it'll be a battle.
The real standout window is Saturday the 19th. The morning is looking absolute magic for experienced surfers. We've got a pumping 8ft swell from the NNW, but the wind swings to a gentle offshore breeze from the NE. The wave energy is through the roof, and with a very long 14-second period, this is serious groundswell. Porto Batel is a point break, so that long period will wrap in nicely and produce some proper, powerful lines. Just be aware, it can get crowded here, so you'll have some company for the good ones.
Following that, Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st drop back to a more manageable 5ft to 6ft from the NNW, with moderate energy. Tuesday the 22nd looks clean again with a nice offshore breeze and solid 5ft surf.
After that, the swell fades out quickly. The last week of the period is looking pretty poor, with tiny waves and weak energy, so don't hold your breath for anything decent.
So, to sum it up: if you're a strong surfer, be on it for Saturday the 19th. The size and the clean offshore conditions will make for a memorable session. The mid-week stuff before that is big and mean. Everything after Sunday the 21st is a slow decline into flatness.
Rusty.
