The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Porto Batel has cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there’s a couple of days that’ll make it all worthwhile.

Right now, things are pretty quiet. We've got a bit of a lull through the early part of the period with only small, weak swell. The first few days are a write-off for a proper session – a few small waves, but the conditions are just ordinary and the energy is low. You’ll see a couple of surfable windows, like Sunday morning (August 9th) with a clean 3ft swell from the WNW and a light breeze, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The combined energy is only 134, so it’s weak. We’re looking at a long stretch of days with nothing really recommendable until we hit the middle of the month.

The first real standout arrives on Sunday morning, August 16th. Porto Batel wakes up with a solid 8ft swell from the NNW. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a short-period wind swell, but the key here is the wind. It’s a light, cross-offshore breeze at just 3 mph. That’s going to put a nice glassy clean surface on those waves. The combined energy is pumping at 709 – that's a strong, powerful setup. This one is for the intermediates and up; 8ft is getting a bit hefty for beginners. The crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so get in early to beat the rush.

Monday morning, August 17th, is another beauty to keep an eye on. Swell drops a touch to 6ft from the same NNW direction, but with a light offshore breeze from the north at 6 mph. It’ll be clean and well-shaped, with strong energy at 509. This is a top-tier follow-up day.

Now, the real big one is on Friday morning, August 21st. Porto Batel sees a solid 8ft groundswell from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy skyrockets to 1455 – that’s very strong, powerful stuff. And the wind? Dead calm. Glassy conditions. This is an excellent forecast for experienced surfers only. At 8ft, this is expert territory. The water temperature is sitting at about 68°, which is pretty average for this time of year.

After that, the wind starts to howl from the north, with speeds hitting 22 to 28 mph by the 22nd and 23rd of August. The swell is still there, but those strong winds will make a mess of things, creating a bumpy, blown-out surface. Not worth paddling out for.

So, to sum it up: sit tight through the first week, then mark your calendar for Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th for some proper, clean surf. But the absolute standout, the one you don't want to miss, is Friday morning, August 21st. It’s a long way out, so the forecast could shift, but if it holds, it’s going to be one for the books. Get your big-wave board ready.

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.
