The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag initially, but there are a couple of proper sessions lurking in there if you’re patient. We’ve got a solid run of northwest groundswell energy, but the wind is going to be the deciding factor for a lot of it.

The opening days are frustrating. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are seeing that northwest swell up in the 8ft to 10ft range, but a strong northerly breeze is going to put a bit of chop on it. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Friday the 18th stays similar, with the swell easing a touch to 8ft but a shorter period of 8 seconds making things a little less organised. Honestly, it's a write-off for now.

Keep your eye on Saturday the 19th. That’s the first real standout. The wind swings around to a light offshore easterly, and we’ve got a solid 8ft of northwest swell pulsing through at a proper 14 seconds. The energy numbers are big – (2366) – and the wave comment is saying it's excellent for experienced surfers. This is a day for the bigger boards and those who know what they’re doing. Porto Batel handles this kind of size well. There’s a bit more of the same on Sunday morning, with 6ft and a clean 12-second interval, still with light winds. That’s another good one before the wind gets a little more cross-shore in the afternoon.

Next week starts calm. Monday the 21st is clean but down a notch to 5ft. Tuesday the 22nd is small and glassy in the morning, but just not enough push. Then things switch on again for Wednesday the 23rd. It’s a morning session, with a glassy 6ft of long-period northwest groundswell at 15 seconds and the energy is right up there (1344). That’s a classic Porto Batel morning – clean, hollow lines, and you could have it to yourself before the cross-shore kicks in later. That’s your second standout, and it’s looking really promising.

After that, it tapers off. We’re looking at a few days of small, clean but unremarkable waves from Thursday the 24th through to Sunday the 27th, with sizes dropping below 3ft. It’s a good time to do other things.

The long-range crystal ball gets a bit foggy here, but there’s a pulse of energy showing up for the final days of the month. On Monday the 28th and into Tuesday the 29th we’re seeing another increase in the northwesterly swell. Monday afternoon looks like it could be big – 8ft at a very long 15 seconds – but it’s coming with a moderate breeze so conditions might be a bit raw. Tuesday the 29th looks cleaner for the first week of October, with light winds and 7ft of solid swell. Just keep in mind, it’s a week and a half out, so that call could change, but it’s got potential.

So, to sum it up: get after it Saturday the 19th and then again on the morning of Wednesday the 23rd. Those are your days. The rest is either average, or for the die-hards.

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.
