The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Porto Batel. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient.
Right now, we’re in a flat spell. The first real surfable waves don’t show up until Wednesday morning, July 15th. Even then, it’s tiny, with a small 2ft swell from the WNW. The combined energy is weak (81), and while the morning is glassy, the waves are just ordinary. After that, we hit a real dry patch. From Wednesday afternoon all the way through to the end of July, the conditions are mostly poor – small, weak swells, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, which isn’t what you want. There’s a bit of a tease on Sunday, July 19th, with the swell picking up a little, but the wind is messy. Honestly, for a solid week and a half, you’re not missing much.
Now, let’s talk about the standout. The real action starts to build around the end of the month. The pick of the whole period is Wednesday morning, July 29th. The water is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, sitting at 64°, which is about 3° below average, so you’ll want a spring suit. That morning, we’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is solid (589), and the wind is light and offshore from the north, making for clean, well-shaped waves. The waves are a bit on the bigger side, so this is more for the intermediate and up crew. The crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have some company. This is where you want to be.
After that, Thursday, July 30th, holds similar size with a 8ft swell from the NNW, but the wind gets a bit stronger, still offshore but gusty. It’s still good, but the 29th is the clear winner.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a write-off for decent surf. The best bet is a long-range call for Wednesday, July 29th, when the stars finally align. If you can wait, it’ll be worth it.
Rusty.
