The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for Porto Batel. Let's get into it.
Alright, first things first. For the first few days, the surf is small and the wind is cross-off, so it's not going to be the best time to paddle out. The water temperature is reading 67°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, about a degree off the average. We'll see a bit of a pulse on the 6th of September, with the swell coming from the NNW at 4ft, a decent 12-second period, and light winds. That's a solid Sunday morning session, but the energy is moderate (566). The standout for the whole run is going to be Thursday the 17th of September. The morning brings a solid 8ft swell from the NNW, with a clean cross-off breeze and a light breeze. The wave energy is strong (1023), and the conditions are dialed for experienced surfers. That's the one to circle on the calendar. Before that, there's a lot of average to poor conditions, with the wind picking up and the swell dropping or getting messy. The 7th of September has a 5ft swell, but the wind is a bit stronger. The 19th of September morning looks promising too, with a glassy 4ft swell from the NNW and a 10-second period, though the energy is weak (261). It's a point break here, so the longer period swell will shape up nicely, but it's a spot that can get crowded sometimes, so be prepared for company.
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.
