The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at what’s on the cards for Porto Batel over the next couple of weeks. Going to be a bit of a slow burner, and you’ll need to pick your moments, but there are a couple of windows that are worth circling on the calendar.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a rough patch. The early days are looking pretty grim with onshore winds and choppy, poor surf. There’s some swell around, but it’s messy and not surfable. That carries through Wednesday and Thursday. The energy is there, but the wind’s just tearing it up. It’s not worth paddling out for.

Friday the 28th starts to show a glimmer. The wind drops to a light cross-shore, and we’ve got a lumpy 7ft of WNW swell with a longer 11-second period. It’s a bit all over the place, but that’s the best of a bad bunch so far. It’s still only a marginal call, and the afternoon backs off a touch.

The weekend is pretty lackluster. The swell drops and the winds stay mostly cross-off, but the size just isn’t there. Sunday the 30th morning is clean but small, with 3ft of NW swell. Just not enough push. We’re in a bit of a lull here for a few days, with nothing really standing out through the start of next week. There’s some size on Monday and Tuesday, around 5ft to 7ft, but the winds pick up strong from the north, making it clean but blown-out and hard work for little reward.

Then we get into a proper flat spell right around the 4th and 5th of September. The swell fades away and, honestly, it’s looking like a bit of a dead period. The ocean just goes quiet for a few days.

But hold on, because there’s a proper standout on the horizon. Mark the morning of Tuesday, the 8th of September. That’s when things finally come together. We’ve got 7ft of NNW swell with a clean offshore breeze from the NNE. The energy is solid, and the guidance is calling this “very good” and I’d say that’s the pick of the entire forecast. It’s a bit on the bigger side, and the period is around 9 seconds, so it should have some decent shape to it. This is the one to plan for.

The morning after that, Wednesday the 9th, also looks promising. The wind drops to glassy, and there’s still 5ft of NNW swell. It’s cleaner and smaller, a good follow-up day if you missed the bigger one. And even into Thursday the 10th, there’s a glimmer with a clean 3ft early on.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no worries there. The crowds at Porto Batel can be a hassle sometimes, but on those clean mornings, especially that 8th, it’ll be worth dealing with a few other heads for a piece of that action. The point should work well with that NW direction, even with the longer period. Keep it simple, pick your days, and that Tuesday morning is the one to get excited about.

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.
