Table - best surf conditions forecast for Porto Batel over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. Porto Batel is a point break that needs a good W swell, and looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a real mixed bag. We’ve got a long stretch of small, ordinary surf coming up before a late pulse of bigger energy shows on the horizon. Don’t get too excited too early.
The first decent chance we see is Saturday, July 11th, in the morning. Swell’s only 2ft from the NW with an 11-second period – that’s a touch of groundswell, but the energy is still pretty low (96). The wind is light and cross-offshore though, so it’ll be clean. The water temp is running 65°, which is about a degree colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll want a spring suit.
But honestly, the real standout comes much later. Jump ahead to Wednesday, July 22nd, in the morning. Swell jumps to 4ft from the NNW, period 8 seconds, and combined energy sits at 230 – moderate stuff, but the wind is cross-offshore from the NNW and it’s clean. The forecast even calls it “good surf conditions”. That’s your best window in the whole run. The swell direction is off the optimum for this point, but with clean conditions, it’s still worth a paddle. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so be ready for company.
Now, there’s a bigger spike on the 19th and 20th – swell hits 6ft to 7ft from the NNW, but the period is short and choppy cross-on winds ruin it. That Saturday, July 19th, morning has 6ft from the NNW, 7 seconds, and 355 energy (moderate), but it’s messy. Not really what you want on a point. The end of the run, around July 24th and 25th, shows 6ft to 7ft again, but short period and still too lumpy. That’s more for the advanced crew, and honestly, the quality is marginal.
Overall, if you’re keen, wait for the 22nd. That’s the one.

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.
