The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about it. For the next 16 days, Porto Batel is the only game in town, and it’s a slow burner. The first week is mostly flat or messy, then a big slug of swell shows up in the second week, but it’s not without its problems.
Right now, Sunday the 26th is a total loss. You’ve got 6ft of short-period NNW windswell, but a fresh 30 km/h north wind chops it up. Monday the 27th morning is the first real look: the wind goes glassy, calm, and there’s 4ft of swell. The energy is weak, but it’s clean. Tiny, but rideable. Tuesday the 28th morning brings 4ft with a light cross-offshore breeze and moderate energy. Still nothing to write home about.
From Thursday the 30th through to Monday the 3rd of August, the swell dries up. Waves drop below 3ft and the energy is weak. A few mornings are clean, but it’s basically flat.
Tuesday the 4th of August afternoon is the turn. Swell punches up to 8ft from the NNW, short period, but the energy is strong. Wind is cross-offshore at 20 km/h, so it’s still cleanish. That’s the warm-up.
Wednesday the 5th of August morning is the standout. We’re looking at 10ft of NNW swell with a 9-second period and very strong energy. The wind is fresh from the north at 30 km/h, but it’s cross-offshore, keeping the waves clean. That’s big, expert-only territory—over 8ft. Porto Batel is a point, so that groundswell will wrap in and give proper shape with longer lulls. This is the day.
Thursday the 6th stays solid at 8ft with strong energy and a moderate cross-offshore breeze. Friday through Sunday still holds 6–7ft, but the wind stays up, so it’s always on the edge of messy. By Monday the 10th, it drops back to 3ft.
Water temp is about average for the time of year. Crowds can show up sometimes, so expect company on the biggest days.
If you’re after the best, it’s Wednesday the 5th of August morning. That’s the one where the ocean has real punch and the wind lines up. After that, it’s still surfable but never as clean.

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.
