Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Porto Batel over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim start. We’ve got a long, flat spell right through until the end of the first week of July. From the 7th right up to the 19th, the wave energy is just too weak – mostly sitting under 100 (barely a whisper), with the odd day nudging into the low 100s. It’s small, weak, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, which just isn’t doing us any favours.
The water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothin’ special.
The first real flicker of life doesn’t show up until Sunday the 12th, but even then it’s just surfable but ordinary, with tiny 3ft swell and weak energy. Not worth paddling out for.
The whole first week is a write-off, honestly. There’s a big gap of over a week with not a single recommendation worth getting excited about.
But hold onto your boardies, because things change in the second week. Come Monday the 20th of July, we finally get some proper swell pushing in. The combined energy jumps right up to 258 (moderate energy) and the swell height hits 6ft from the NW. The problem? The wind is cranking from the N at 21-25 mph, straight cross-off. It’ll be clean, but that’s a strong breeze and the swell period is short – only 7 seconds – so it won’t have much shape or power.
This pattern of 4ft to 6ft swell from the NNW sticks around from the 20th through the 22nd, with the energy staying in the 200s. It’s a moderate-sized swell, but with that short period and strong N winds, it’s gonna be a bit of a mess. It’s not a standout for paddle surfing – honestly, with that wind and a beach setup, this looks way more interesting for kite surfing than a clean wave for a log or a shortboard.
The best on offer, if you can call it that, would be the morning of the 22nd of July. Swell at 4ft from the NNW, energy at 190, and the wind is a fresh 19 mph from the N (cross-off), so it’s at least clean. Still, that short period (7 seconds) and strong wind means it’s only really for the experienced crew. Beginners should sit this one out – anything over 5ft and windy is not your friend.
So there you go. A long, flat wait, then a burst of lumpy, windy swell. Not our finest hour.
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.
