The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Porto Batel in feet and miles per hour. The water’s about 66°, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year – roughly 2° cooler than normal, so don’t forget the extra rubber.
First chance to surf is Sunday, September 6th. Morning has clean 4ft waves from the NNW with a 12-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the N at 9 mph. Wave energy is moderate (580). Afternoon stays similar at 4ft, but the wind picks up to 16 mph.
Monday the 7th: 5ft from the WNW, still 12-second period, wind 12-16 mph cross-off from the N. Energy is up (772 morning, 616 afternoon), but conditions are only marginal.
Tuesday the 8th drops to 4ft, period 10 seconds, wind fresh from the N at 16 mph. Energy falls to 261 then 190. Poor conditions in the afternoon.
Wednesday the 9th: 6-6ft from the NNW, short 8-second period, wind a solid 19 mph cross-off. Energy moderate (375-414), but messy.
Thursday the 10th: 6-6ft from the NNW, wind 12-16 mph. Morning energy 634, afternoon 769 with 11-second period – still marginal due to wind.
Friday the 11th morning offers 5ft, 8-second period, lighter wind at 9 mph. Conditions described as “expect good surf,” but the afternoon fades.
The standout: Saturday the 12th morning – glassy with only 3 mph wind from the E, clean 4ft swell from the NNW, 7-second period. This is your best bet for the first week.
Sunday the 13th morning: small but clean, 2ft from the NW with a very long 13-second period. Offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph. Energy moderate (383). Great for a longboard.
From Monday the 14th through Saturday the 19th, the wind is relentless from the N at 16-25 mph. Swell hangs around 4-6ft, but conditions are poor to marginal. Not worth it.
Sunday the 20th morning: lighter wind at 6 mph, 4ft from the NW, 10-second period. Clean and “expect good surf.”
The real highlight: Monday the 21st of September morning – 5ft from the NW, 11-second period, gentle offshore from the ENE at 9 mph. Energy 543, and “expect very good surf conditions” with gentle offshore and clean waves. This is the session to aim for. Afternoon builds to 6ft with energy 736, but the wind goes cross-off from the N at 12 mph.
So, mark your calendar for Saturday the 12th morning for glassy small waves, or Monday the 21st morning for the best combo of size, period, and offshore wind. The rest is mostly blown out.

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.
