The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same stretch for Porto Batel, but in feet and Fahrenheit.

Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty quiet start. The first few days are a write-off, honestly. The wind is howling out of the north at 19 mph, and while it's technically cross-offshore, the swell is weak and messy. We're talking about a tiny 4ft to 6ft of NW to NNW windswell with a short, unappealing period. The energy is there, but it’s all wrong. You can forget about Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st. The water temp is sitting right on 68°, which is dead average for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're staring at flatness.

Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are still a bit of a struggle. The swell drops right off, and the wind stays on it. We’re looking at a combined energy that’s barely getting into triple digits, just a weak pulse. It’s not looking good for a proper session.

Now, there's a flicker of something interesting on Saturday the 5th. We get a long-period pulse from the NNW, with a period of 15-16 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The energy jumps up to 832 on Saturday afternoon, but the wind is still a cross-offshore breeze. The problem is that long-period swell at a point break like Porto Batel can be a bit tricky – it might break a little too straight and close out. It’s a marginal call, but it's the first real sign of life.

Sunday the 6th is the first real standout. The morning session is where it's at. The wind drops to almost nothing from the ESE at 3 mph, making for clean, glassy conditions. The swell is a solid 5ft from the NNW with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is a meaty 633. This is the kind of day you wait for. The waves will have shape and power, and with the wind so light, it’ll be clean as a whistle. Porto Batel can get crowded, and with conditions like this, you better believe it will be.

The week that follows is a mixed bag. Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th are still fun with 2ft to 3ft of WNW swell and clean cross-offshore winds, but the energy is a lot more moderate. Good for a longboard or a funboard, but not the main event.

Then we hit a flat spell from Wednesday the 9th through to about Saturday the 12th. The swell drops to knee-high, and the wind turns cross-onshore and onshore, making a mess of things. Not worth paddling out for.

But hold onto your board, because the real standout is coming. Monday the 14th starts small, but the afternoon is a big, spicy preview. We get a massive jump in energy to 1356 from a long-period NW swell at 17 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The size is 5ft, but the power is immense.

Tuesday the 15th is the absolute bomb. The morning is the pick of the entire forecast. The swell hits 7ft from the NW with a 13-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1382. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE. This is a serious swell, and it’s too big for beginners – you’ll want to be a solid intermediate or better. The point will be handling that size and power beautifully. This is a true long-range standout, but it looks promising. The afternoon stays solid at 6ft, but the wind picks up a bit, so the morning is the window.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a slow grind. The best bet is Sunday the 6th for a clean, fun session. But the real prize is a week away, on Tuesday the 15th, when a proper groundswell hits with clean conditions. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.

Rusty.

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.
