The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what Porto Batel has in store for us.

We’ve got a pretty mixed bag coming up. The next few days are going to be a bit of a struggle to find a clean, fun wave, but there are some proper standouts on the horizon if you’re willing to wait.

The early part of the week is a write-off for any real quality. Monday the 7th has some waist-to-chest high swell at around 5 ft, but that brisk cross-off wind at 16 mph will keep things pretty average, even if it’s clean. The combined swell energy is 852, which is moderate, but the wave comment says it all – it’s marginal. Tuesday and Wednesday are similar, with small, choppy, low-energy surf. Honestly, the wind is just too strong and too cross-off to get excited about. It’s a flat, frustrating start through to Friday the 11th, with very little on offer.

Now, Saturday the 12th is where things start to look up. We’ve got a glassy morning with a light 3 mph wind from the north, and the swell is 5 ft from the NNW. The break is clean, and the good surf comment is a welcome change. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, and that's gold after a dry spell.

But the real standout is Sunday the 13th, and it could be the pick of the entire forecast window. The morning sees a 4 ft swell from the NNW, but with a very long 13-second period. This is proper groundswell, with strong energy (783). The wind is light and cross-off at 6 mph. The wave comment is “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the day to be in the water. Porto Batel is a point break, which means that long-period swell will wrap in and set up beautifully, giving you long, lined-up walls. Crowds can be a factor here as it gets “sometimes” busy, but for waves like this, it’s worth the company.

Monday the 14th is also a cracker. Glassy again in the morning, 4 ft from the NW with a 12-second period. The energy is still solid (545), and again, “very good surf conditions.” Another morning session to pencil in.

Then, for the brave and the experienced, Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th bring some serious size. On Wednesday morning, we’ve got a solid 10 ft swell from the NNW, with very strong energy of 1152. This is only for experienced surfers, as it's well over 8 ft. The wind is gentle at 9 mph, so it will be clean, but the period is short at 8 seconds and it will be a beast. Thursday morning pushes up to 13 ft with an energy reading of 2749, which is very strong wave energy. Again, for experts only, and the breeze is moderate. The setup here looks more like a kite surfer’s paradise with that much power and cross-off wind.

The second week (from around the 18th onwards) looks like a slow drop-off. The swell is still present, around 5 ft to 10 ft, but the wind freshens up again and the quality drops. It’s more of a side-shore, lumpy, and messy affair. Not recommended for a good surf, unless you are just desperate for a paddle.

The water temperature is sitting at about 67°F, which is just about the usual for this time of year, with the anomaly being only -1°F. Nothing crazy there.

So, in short: the first half of the week is a bust. The real windows are Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th for the best quality, clean, lined-up waves. If you want a big, clean challenge, Wednesday the 16th is your day, but only if you know what you’re doing.

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.
