The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Porto Batel over the next 16 days is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch of tiny, weak surf and a whole lot of cross-off winds keeping things average at best.

We kick off on Thursday the 30th of July with a tiny 1ft swell coming from the WNW at a period of 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly 68, which is barely a bump on the water. The water temp is sitting at a pretty typical 68°F for this time of year.

The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Saturday the 1st of August morning, when a small pulse bumps up to 4ft. But it’s a short-period, 6-second swell from the NNW, and the energy jumps to a moderate 206. Still, it’s described as marginal at best, so don’t get your hopes up.

Sunday the 2nd of August morning offers a similar story: 4ft from the NNW with a 7-second period and 193 energy. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The vibe is just... flat.

We then hit a long, dull run. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to Wednesday the 12th of August, the swell hovers between 2ft and 4ft, mostly from the NW or WNW. Periods are short to average, 6 to 9 seconds. The energy levels are mostly weak, staying under 150. The wind is a constant cross or cross-off, which keeps things clean but doesn’t help the wave quality. It’s just day after day of poor to very ordinary conditions.

There is a slight flicker of hope on Monday the 10th of August afternoon, with a 3ft WNW swell and a 9-second period, pushing the energy to 190. Still, the wind is a moderate cross-off, and the reports all say “poor surf conditions.”

Honestly, the only other time the swell hits 4ft again is on Friday the 7th of August morning, but at a 7-second period and 144 energy, it’s still just a clean but weak mess.

Forget about the second week. From the 8th of August onward, we’re looking at tiny 2ft to 3ft swells, with the 14th of August showing zero swell at all – just a big zero for energy. The winds stay cross-off, but the ocean is flat.

So, what’s the best on offer? If I had to pick, I’d point you at Saturday the 1st of August morning. It’s the peak swell height at 4ft, and while it’s a short-period wave, the energy is moderate (206), and the morning winds are light and cross-off. It’s not good, but it’s the least bad of the whole period.

Sorry, folks, but this is a long, blank run. I’d say grab a longboard and a mask for a snorkel. The waves aren’t happening.

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.
