The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Porto Batel has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
The pattern looks pretty mixed. We’ve got some small, average days to kick things off, and then a real standout window during the first weekend that’s got my attention. There’s also a promising glassy window further out. But the middle of the week and some other spots look either too windy or just ordinary.
Wednesday, 2nd September starts off, but it’s only fair. We’re looking at a 4 ft swell from the NNW at 8 seconds, so it’s short-period, a bit jumbled. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much par for the course at this time of year. The wind is a cross-off breeze, not ideal for perfection, but it’s clean enough for a ride. The combined energy is weak (301). Thursday and Friday mornings see the swell drop to that 2 ft to 4 ft range, with lighter offshore winds in the mornings. These are surfable, but it’s very ordinary conditions. The crowd here can sometimes pop up, so on these small days you might still get a bit of company.
Now, Sunday morning, 6th September – that’s the standout of the first week. Porto Batel will see a 4 ft swell from the NNW with a groundswell period of 12 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (613), and the forecast calls for very good surf. This is where you want to be. Early morning glass means long, clean lines rolling into the point. With that longer period, it’s a proper groundswell, making paddling out easier between sets. The direction is NNW, which is a bit off the optimum W, but the quality more than makes up for it. This one is for the intermediate crew – not too big, not too small.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th pick up more size, with 5 ft to 8 ft from the NW and NNW. But the wind cranks up to 19 mph plus from the N, making it a punchy, messy cross-off. For the average punter, this will be a tough paddle, and it’s really only for the experienced who know how to pick off the feistier ones. The energy is strong (743 to 792), but the quality is marginal due to the wind.
After that, the second week gets quiet again. Saturday morning, 12th September suddenly throws up a real gem: 6 ft from the NNW with 8-second period, but the wind is 3 mph from the east – glass. That’s a rare treat for Porto Batel. The energy is moderate (475), but with flat calm conditions, expect some beautiful, mirror-like walls. The crowd might be a factor though, as the word gets out. That’s likely the best of the second week.
The rest of the second week from Sunday the 13th through Thursday the 17th is small stuff – mostly under 4 ft with short period or very straight onshore winds. The only other standout is Monday morning, 14th September: 2 ft swell from the NW at 13 seconds, with zero wind. Glassy as a lake, but small. Combined energy is moderate (289). Ideal for a longboard session where you don't want the crowd.
So to summarise: grab the Sunday morning, September 6th for the best combo of size, clean conditions, and quality. The Saturday morning, September 12th is your glassy wildcard. Don't bother with the second half of the second week unless you’re desperate.
Rusty.

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.
