Table - best surf conditions forecast for Porto Batel over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Porto Batel. I gotta be straight with you: it’s going to feel like a long, flat stretch before we see any real pulse of life. Don’t let the late-breaking stuff fool you into paddling out too early, because most of these days are properly poor.
Right now, the energy is weak. We start with a morning on Saturday, July 11th, with a 2ft NW swell at 11 seconds, but the combined energy is down at (95) – barely a whisper. The wind is a light north cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s just not enough push. The water temp is about average for the time of year. From here, it gets grim. Saturday afternoon turns into a messy cross-onshore with a moderate breeze, and then we just slide through Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with nothing but tiny, weak swells under 3ft and poor conditions. There’s a solid week of next to nothing.
We finally get a pulse on Saturday, July 18th. The swell jumps to 8ft from the NNW, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy rockets up to (709). But at that size and that short period, it’s heavy, dumpy, and messy – your more of a just for experts kind of day. Plus that fresh north wind, while cross-off, is howling at 18 mph. It’s going to be wind-affected. It’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session. The same goes for the next few days after that: the swell is there, but the quality is poor.
Now, if you’re patient and can wait, the real standout finally shows up on Tuesday, July 21st. That morning is the best we’ve got. The swell is 4ft from the NNW at 9 seconds. That’s not a giant wave, but it’s got enough period to push, and the energy is solid at (240). The wind is light out of the ENE – a light breeze, clean, cross-off. It'll be glassy and the wave shape should be fun on that point setup. This is the one window where the wave quality earns a proper recommendation. It’s worth the wait. Expect some other surfers in the water though, because it can get crowded at Porto Batel when it’s good.
After that, Wednesday morning, July 22nd has some size at 6ft from the NNW, but with a light west wind putting a slight ripple on it, it’s a more marginal call. The weeks after that just fade off into clean but weak surf.
So, if you’re looking for the good stuff, keep your eyes on Tuesday the 21st. The rest is mostly a write-off.

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).
