The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at Porto Batel. Water temp is about 69°F, just about normal for this time of year.
First few days? Trash. Thursday and Friday are small and chopped up. Not worth a paddle. Over the weekend we get some waist-to-chest high swell (5ft - 6ft) from the NW and NNW, but those winds are cranking at 18-19 mph, cross-off. Wave energy is moderate to solid, like 400-odd points on the gauge, but the ride quality is poor.
Your first real window is the morning of July 27th. The wind goes glassy at 3 mph from the ESE, and we get a clean 5ft swell out of the NNW. Energy sits at 281 (points). That’s the kind of surface you dream about. Expect a few heads in the water, ‘cause Porto Batel gets a crowd when it’s clean.
Tuesday the 28th is decent early with a light offshore breeze and a 4ft swell from the NNW. Energy is 206. Waves are clean but average. The afternoon picks up some period, which gives the waves a bit more shape, but the wind shifts.
We get a lull from the 29th to the 31st. Swell fades, winds are messy. Leave the board in the car.
Now, circle August 1st on your calendar. That morning we’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW, 8-second period, with a gentle offshore breeze at 9 mph from the NNE. Energy is 269 (points). That’s a proper session waiting to happen. It’s a week and a half out, so watch the forecast, but it’s looking real promising.
August 2nd, the swell jumps to 8ft from the NNW. Energy hits over 800 (points). That’s a lot of water for a point. The wind is cross, so the surface has some texture. Experienced surfers only at this size. Beginners, stay on the sand.
Monday the 3rd of August is even bigger—10ft from the NNW, with energy over 1100 (points). Same deal: big, powerful, and only for experts. The winds are cross-off so it’ll be clean but heavy.
After that, the swell fades quickly, dropping below 3ft by mid-week. Winds stay cross-off but the energy drains away.
For my money, the glassy 27th is the one for easy, clean fun, and that offshore morning on August 1st is your second standout. Keep your wetsuit ready.
Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
