The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Porto Batel is a point break that’s generally exposed to the west, and it’s a fairly consistent spot for intermediates. The water temp is right around 67°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, the next week and a half is looking pretty average. There’s a real dry spell early on – from Sunday the 2nd right through the week, we’ve got small, weak swell and a lot of onshore or cross-off wind. The wave energy’s low, mostly in the 70 to 186 range, and the heights are barely cracking 3ft. The only slight glimmer is Tuesday morning the 4th, when the wind goes glassy for a few hours, but the swell’s only 3ft from the WNW with a short 9-second period. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about.
By Friday the 7th, the swell starts to build a bit, hitting 6ft from the NNW on Friday morning, but the period’s still short and the wind’s cross-off, so it’s messy and more of a marginal call. The energy climbs to 441, which is moderate, but it’s not clean enough to get excited about. Saturday the 8th is similar – 5ft from the NNW, but again, short period and cross-off wind.
The real standout window doesn’t show up until the second week. On Saturday the 15th of August, we’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to 500. The wind holds cross-off, so it’s clean. That’s the best looking day in the whole 16-day run – the swell’s got a bit of size, the direction’s good for the point, and it’s consistent enough to get some decent rides. It’s a little big for beginners, but for intermediates and up, that’s the one to pencil in.
After that, the swell stays around 6ft on the 16th and 17th, but the period drops back to 6-7 seconds and the wind is stronger, so it’s not as appealing.
Bottom line: if you’re itching for a session, Tuesday morning the 4th might give you a glassy window for small waves, but the real target is Saturday the 15th – that’s where the size and conditions line up best. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath for the rest.

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.
