The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Porto Batel has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a rough start. The first few days are pretty much a write-off with weak, short-period swell and lousy conditions. You won't find anything worth paddling out for until we get to the end of the first week. From Thursday, the 6th of August, the swell starts to lift a bit, but it's still messy and short-period, with waves around 6ft coming from the NNW. The wind is blowing clean cross-off, but the energy is still just moderate (371), and the wave quality is being described as marginal. That carries through Friday, the 7th, with similar height and a bit more energy (400), but again, it's not quite coming together.
We’ve then got a big gap of nothing much from Saturday the 8th right through to Saturday the 15th. A few tiny pulses here and there, but nothing that’s going to get you excited. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about 2° cooler than normal for this time of year, so it’s pretty average.
Now, the real standout is Sunday the 16th of August. The morning is looking very promising. We’ve got a solid NW swell pushing in at 5ft, with a gentle offshore breeze from the north. The energy is strong (441), and the forecast says to expect good surf conditions. This is easily the best wave of the run so far – clean, head-high plus, and that cross-off wind will keep the faces nice and lined up. This is the one to circle.
And then, Monday the 17th of August morning might just top it. The swell is up to 7ft from the NNW, with that same light offshore wind. The energy is very strong (639), and the call is for very good surf conditions. This is proper groundswell territory, with a period of 9 seconds, so the sets will have some punch. At this size, it’s getting into intermediate and above territory, but for those who can handle it, it’s going to be firing. The afternoon on Monday drops off a cliff, so make sure you’re out there early.
Overall, it’s a slow burn, but the payoff at the end of the second week looks solid. Sunday and Monday mornings are the ones to aim for.
Rusty.

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.
