The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real mixed bag for Porto Batel (point break). There’s a long patch of very ordinary conditions, with only a few windows that might get the heart beating. For the most part, don’t expect much; the first week is flat and uninspiring. The standout, if you can call it that, looks to be Monday the 10th of August and Tuesday the 11th of August, with the best bet heading into Tuesday morning.

The water temp’s sitting about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

Alright, let’s kick off. Wednesday the 29th of July, the morning has some clean cross-off wind with a 0.9m NW swell and a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate (147), but the conditions are just ordinary. Not exactly firing. The afternoon goes cross and drops off.

Thursday the 30th, early you’ve got a small 0.6m NNW swell (88 energy), still clean but weak. Friday and Saturday are barely worth a paddle – wave heights under 0.4m, hardly a ripple.

Through to Sunday the 2nd of August, the swell climbs to 0.6-0.7m from the W, with energy picking up a bit (105), but the wind is mostly cross-off or cross, and the wave quality is poor. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th stay in the same rut – small, messy, and frustrating.

Now here’s the first glimpse of something interesting. Wednesday the 5th of August, the afternoon has a cross-off wind and a 0.8m WNW swell, but the period jumps to 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The energy reaches 184, which is solid moderate. This is a longer-period swell, which will give you cleaner lines at this point break, but it’s still small and the wind is moderate, so it’s not a total standout. Thursday the 6th fades again.

Then, hold onto your board shorts. Monday the 10th of August, the morning shows a 1.6m NW swell with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to 362 – that’s strong. The wind is light cross-shore with tiny ripples, so it’s nearly glassy. The afternoon stays clean with cross-off wind, same 1.6m swell. This is promising, but the forecast says it’s marginal, so don’t take it as gospel – it’s still a week and a half away.

But the real one to circle on your calendar is Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning offers a 2.3m NNW swell, with energy ripping at 654 – that’s very strong, proper push. Clean cross-off wind and a period around 8 seconds. This is right in that sweet spot for intermediate-to-expert surfers – big enough to get you excited, but not so big you can’t handle it at a point break. The afternoon holds similar size and conditions. This is the best on offer across the whole outlook. It’s a long way out, so the confidence is lower, but if it comes together, it’ll be a cracker.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th see the swell dropping back but still decent – 1.8m to 1.4m – but the wind gets stronger (up to 30 km/h), and it’ll be choppier, more for the experienced crew.

Overall, don’t waste your time before the 10th. There’s a week-long gap of nothingness from the start until then. The 10th and 11th are your windows, with the 11th being the true standout. Keep an eye on it.

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.
