The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Porto Batel over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s a bit of a slow start. The next few days are going to be a write-off for a proper paddle. We’re looking at small, weak waves with poor conditions through to the end of the week. The swell is tiny, the energy is low (142 down to 49), and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, messing up what little is there. It’s a classic case of pick another hobby for a few days.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday the 25th. The swell picks up to 6ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to 330 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-offshore, so the face will be smooth. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s a solid step up. The morning is the better call here, as the afternoon gets a bit stronger wind (15 mph). The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Sunday the 26th looks like the standout. The swell holds at 7ft in the morning, also from the NW, with a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore wind. The energy is a solid 530 (moderate to strong). This is the biggest, cleanest swell in the window. Keep in mind, at over 6ft, this is one for the experienced crew only. The crowd can be an issue here sometimes, so get in early.
Monday the 27th keeps the size going with 6-7ft (NNW) and clean cross-offshore wind in the morning, but the afternoon gets a cross-chop. The energy is high (378-759), so there’s plenty of grunt. Tuesday the 28th still has a good 7ft swell, but the wind turns onshore, so it won’t be as clean.
After that, the wave heights drop off quickly. By the end of the month and into early August, we’re back to knee-high slop with very weak energy (36-75). The wind is offshore, but there’s just no swell to work with. The 1st of August has a very long period (11 seconds) but only 1ft of swell – that’s flat lining.
So, the short version: stick this one on the back burner until Saturday the 25th. Sunday the 26th is your best bet for the biggest, cleanest waves, but it’s for experienced surfers only. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
