The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty making some conversions for my mates who think in feet and miles.
Looking at Porto Batel, it's a point break and catches swell pretty well.
Nothing happening at the start. For the next few days, Monday the 10th to Friday the 14th of August, the surf is a dud. Swell is tiny, under 3 feet, wave energy is weak (under 100). You might as well stay home.
Saturday the 15th of August morning finally brings a pulse. We get a NNW swell around 5 ft, period 8 seconds, with moderate wave energy at 460. The wind is from the NNW at about 9 mph, cross-off and clean. Not perfect, but it is the first surf we can really talk about.
The real standout is Sunday the 16th of August morning. That’s the one. The swell holds at about 6 ft from the NNW, with energy strong at 466. And the wind? Glassy. Southeast wind at just 3 mph. Clean, smooth, and the point break will love that condition. That is the best session in the whole forecast. Over 5 ft though, so it’s not for beginners, step up if you have the skill.
The following week, Monday 17th to midweek the 20th is rough. Swell back down under 5 ft, and onshore and cross-on winds from the SW and WSW making it choppy. Not worth it.
Friday the 21st of August morning brings a small but clean window. North wind 9 mph cross-off, NW swell of 2 ft with a nice long 11-second period. Energy is moderate at 244. Small and clean, but those longer waves will wrap nicely down the point.
After that, from Saturday 22nd until Tuesday 25th of August, it’s back to tiny, weak swells and nothing to write home about.
So, don't overthink it. The one to circle on the calendar is Sunday, the 16th of August morning. Glassy conditions, solid 6 ft swell from the NNW, strong energy, and a clean point. That’s your day.

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.
