The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what Porto Batel is serving up over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there's some serious gold if you time it right.
The start is flat out slow. A solid gap of weak, small surf with poor conditions for the first few days. Don't even bother checking it. Then things shift. The big news is a powerful, long-period groundswell that rolls in on Saturday the 19th, and that is the absolute standout of the whole 16-day window. The combined energy cranks to 2763 (moderate to strong wave energy), with a swell of about 8 feet from the NNW and a very long 14-second period. For a point break like Porto Batel, that long period is perfect—it'll wrap in with clean, shaped-up, powerful lines. The morning of Saturday the 19th is the call: light breeze, glassy, and that deep energy. It's expert territory at that size, over 8 feet. That's your session.
Leading up, Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are a step down. The swell is still big, around 8 feet, but with a shorter 9-second period and a fresh breeze, it'll be messier and less defined. The energy is moderate (around 1000–1100), so there's push, but it's not as sweet.
After that Saturday peak, Sunday the 20th drops to about 6 feet with a 12-second period, but the wind gets messy, making it a bit choppy. The following week looks mostly smaller and cleaner, but nothing matches that Saturday blast. There's another decent morning on Thursday the 24th of September with a clean 5 feet NW swell and a 13-second period, and Friday the 25th of September offers a glassy morning with 3 feet from the NW—perfect for a fun, relaxed paddle if you don't mind the smaller size. The last week has some consistent, clean 4 to 6 foot swells with nice 10-11 second periods, but the energy is lower, best for a quiet, uncrowded session.
Expect sometimes crowds at Porto Batel, especially on that Saturday peak. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
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. 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.
