The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Porto Batel. This is a west-facing point break, and looking at the next 16 days, it’s a real waiting game. The first week is basically a write-off thanks to weak, short-period wind swell and onshore winds. We’re looking at a pretty grim stretch from Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of July. Don’t even bother paddling out until next week.
The real action finally shows up on the morning of Thursday, the 30th of July. That morning is the clear standout. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell out of the NNW, with a clean cross-off breeze and light airs. The energy is pumping hard at 677 (moderate to strong), and the conditions will be clean. That’s the one to circle. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The morning of Friday, the 31st of July is also worth a look. It’s a bit bigger at 7ft, but still a decent NNW swell, with gentle breeze and clean conditions. The energy is a bit lower at 472, but still solid. After that, things fade back off into the first week of August. The swell drops, and while the wind stays clean, the size and energy just aren’t there. There’s a pulse on the morning of Monday, the 3rd of August with a 5ft swell and a very long period of 12 seconds, putting out 787 energy. That’s a proper groundswell, but remember, with that kind of period, it can unload a bit straight at a beach or point, so keep your wits about you. The wind is moderate, so it’s a solid option, but not the absolute best of the window.
The bottom line: the first week is a total dud. The highlight is Thursday the 30th of July morning. If you can only surf once, aim for that window. The rest is a mix of mediocre or just plain poor.
