The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Same swell window, different numbers. Starting off rough at Porto Batel – from the 23rd through the 27th of August, you’ve got about five days of real poor quality. Water’s at 65°F, which is about 4°F below the norm, so bring a thick suit.
Then the good stuff hits on Friday the 28th of August. Morning session sees a clean 10 ft swell out of the northwest with a 12 second period and a light north cross-off breeze. Combined energy is 2598 – that’s solid power. This is for experts only, since 10 ft is over 8 ft. Afternoon drops to 8 ft, still clean. That’s your best day by a long shot.
Saturday the 29th cleans up but shrinks to 5 ft, and Sunday the 30th is down to 4 ft – still rideable but nothing special. Then a long flat spell from the 31st of August to the 4th of September, with clean wind but poor surf around 5 ft to 7 ft, short period. Not worth it.
Saturday the 5th of September morning shows a gentle offshore breeze out of the northeast on 6 ft of northwest swell – clean. The real dark horse is Sunday the 6th of September morning: glassy calm, zero wind, with 6 ft of northwest swell (7 seconds). Combined energy is 486 – not huge, but glassy makes it magic. That’s a good backup session.
Monday the 7th of September brings some onshore wind and a rare 19 second period groundswell, but it’s messy and marginal. So, your big standout is Friday the 28th morning, and the glassy Sunday the 6th is your sneaky good call. That’s it from me. Rusty out.

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.
