The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and knots for you.
The pattern starts off slow. The first wave worth paddling for doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, August 25th. The weekend and Monday are a total loss with strong onshore winds and choppy, lumpy sea state—four days of nothing. Then Tuesday morning we get a tiny window. The water is running colder than usual for this time of year, about 1° below normal at 19°.
Tuesday morning the 25th at Porto Batel serves up about 5ft from the WNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The wind turns glassy, so it's dead clean. The combined energy is weak (182). It’s rideable, but only just.
Friday the 28th of August is the standout. Porto Batel gets a solid 8ft NW groundswell with a long 12-second period, easing to 8ft in the afternoon with 11 seconds. Cross-offshore winds from the N and NNW keep it clean. The energy is pumping hard, reaching 1805 in the morning and 1388 in the afternoon—that’s strong to very strong energy. This is what a point break was made for, with that long period and the direction swinging toward the west, which is the sweet spot here. At 8ft, it’s for experienced surfers only—this will have some serious power behind it.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th still have clean cross-off winds, but the swell drops to around 5ft then 3ft. Energy drops fast (431 down to 157). Still surfable, but nothing special.
Then we hit another long quiet stretch. From Monday 31st August through to Saturday 5th September, it’s small—mostly under 5ft—with clean winds but no real push. Energy readings stay below 400. The 6th of September shows a pulse back up to 7ft with moderate energy (695), but that’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it but don’t plan your life around it yet.
The clear winner: Friday the 28th of August. That’s your day at Porto Batel. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty out.

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.

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.
