The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you—this 16-day window for Porto Batel is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of mostly poor to marginal conditions, so don't get your hopes up too high. The water temp is sitting around 67°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you wait.
The first real glimmer comes right at the start on Sunday afternoon, the 9th of August. We've got a small 3-foot WNW swell rolling in, with a period of just 7 seconds, so it's a bit weak and short-period. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, which will keep things clean. The combined energy is weak (126). It's surfable, but don't expect any fireworks.
Then we hit a big dry spell. From Monday the 10th right through to Friday the 21st of August, it's pretty much a write-off. The wind is mostly cross-off, but the swell is tiny, short-period, or just plain messy. The energy levels are low to moderate, peaking at 343 on the 14th, but the conditions are consistently poor. There's a bit of a pulse on Saturday the 15th with 8-foot swell, but that's raw NNW windswell, too big for beginners and blown out by a fresh 19 mph breeze. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
The best chance of a decent wave comes late in the period. Saturday the 22nd of August morning looks promising. The swell drops to a manageable 5-foot from the NNW, period is still short at 7 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, and the combined energy is moderate (343). The forecast says "expect good surf conditions," and with those clean conditions, it's the standout window. Sunday the 23rd morning is also worth a look, with a similar 6-foot swell and lighter 6 mph cross-off winds. The energy is still moderate (335).
So, to sum it up: the first two weeks are a grind. The only real window worth paddling out for is the morning of Saturday the 22nd and possibly Sunday the 23rd of August. The swell is small and weak, but the wind will be clean, making it your best bet for a few fun, clean waves. It's not a classic, but it's something.
Rusty.

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.
