The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk Porto Batel, a point break that breaks fairly often.
Water temp is about 67° – pretty normal for this time of year.
The next 16 days? A few windows, but nothing that’s gonna have you skipping work. The real standout is Saturday morning, September 5th. Glassy conditions, a light NNW breeze at 3 mph, and a clean 3 ft NW swell. The combined energy is moderate (208), and it’s a point break, so that longer period wraps in sweet. That’s your best call – clean, manageable, and the wind is perfect.
Sunday the 6th morning is also good – 4 ft NNW swell (energy 356) with a clean cross-off east wind at 9 mph. Monday the 7th morning has a small 3 ft WNW swell, but the energy is still decent (331) and the wind is clean.
Later in the second week, Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th see a bigger pulse – 6 ft on Wednesday morning, energy climbing to 768 – but the wind is cross-off and the period is short (8 seconds). That’s gonna be mushy and lumpy. Friday the 11th morning brings a cleaner 5 ft NW swell with good energy (367) and a gentle breeze. Could be fun.
The 12th and 13th drop off hard with small weak swell and poor conditions. The spot is rarely epic, but it’s consistent enough that something will turn up.
Bottom line – aim for Saturday morning, September 5th. That’s the cleanest, glassiest window. The 6th and 11th mornings are solid backups.
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.
