The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The next sixteen days are looking pretty interesting for Porto Batel. We’ve got a slow start, but a solid run of surf is on the way, especially for those of you who can handle a bit of size.

The first few days are a write-off for quality waves. Friday the 11th is a no-go with small, weak swell and a stiff cross-off breeze making a mess of things. Saturday the 12th will see a bump in swell, but it’s a short-period, weak energy affair. The morning glass-off is the only saving grace for clean lines on those 4ft waves, but the period is only 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly.

Sunday the 13th is a write-off as a cross-onshore wind and questionable tide conditions mess with the building swell. Things start to look up on Monday the 14th. It’s not big, but a clean 3ft glassy morning session with NW groundswell (moderate energy) and a solid 11-second period will have some nice, pushy lines. That’s the first real window.

After that, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings get blown out by strong northerly winds, and the swell drops right off. Don’t bother paddling out on the 15th or 16th during the week – it’s messy.

Now, here is where it gets good. Thursday the 17th is a standout for the hardcore crew. We’ve got clean conditions with a 7ft cross-off wind and solid NNW swell pumping in. The energy is strong, and the offshore flow will keep the point looking glassy at the top. This is excellent for experienced surfers but it’s too big for beginners. The following Friday and Saturday, the 18th and 19th, will see very good conditions as the swell eases slightly. Saturday the 19th morning is a prime pick with that 6ft swell and glassy conditions. Crowds are possible on these days, so get there early.

The next real standout arrives on Monday the 21st of September. Get a look at this: a clean 8ft swell with an 13-second period, pure offshore wind, and a massive energy reading. This is serious groundswell with incredible power, best for experts at this point break. The long period means there will be long lulls between sets, but the waves themselves will be proper. The Sunday the 20th afternoon has even more energy with a 16-second period, but that cross-off wind makes it a little less perfect than Monday morning.

Later in the week, Tuesday the 22nd still holds at 8ft with good energy, but the wind will create a bit of a cross-chop. Beyond that, conditions become a bit hit-or-miss with onshore winds and questionable tides into the 23rd and 24th. The very end of the period, the 25th and 26th, shows some smaller, cleaner swell with a longer period again, but it’s a weaker option.

In short: Don’t bother before the 14th. For the best of the best, circle Thursday the 17th for expert-level power and Monday the 21st of September for the biggest, cleanest groundswell of the outlook. Be ready for a crowd on both, these waves are worth it.

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.
