The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what Porto Batel has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
We're looking at a slow start, to be honest. There's some swell kicking around, but that north wind is just ruining the party. The first few days are a washout with strong breezes making a mess of the surface. But don't get discouraged; there's some serious gold hiding in the second week if you're patient.
The pick of the early action is set for Sunday morning the 13th. The wind drops to dead calm, glassy smooth, and we'll have a clean 4ft groundswell from the NNW with a long 13-second period. The energy is pumping at 521, and the water is sitting at 65°F, which is a bit cooler than average for this time of year, so you might need a little extra rubber. The point might get a bit sectiony with the longer period, but with the ocean like a mirror, it's your best shout for a decent wave. Crowds are possible, so be ready to share.
The real standout, the one you want to save the date for, is Sunday morning the 20th of September. This is a long way out, so don't go selling your board yet, but the forecast is a beauty. We're looking at a 3ft groundswell, but with a massive 19-second period, packing a huge 1107 energy reading. The wind will be a light offshore from the ESE, keeping it absolutely clean. This is a setup for long, peeling lines at the point. It's not big, but the quality will be top shelf. Expect a crowd because everyone will be onto it.
The next day, Monday morning the 21st, is also a big one, but only for the experts. The swell jumps to 10ft, with energy off the charts at 2844. Light cross-shore winds from the SSE will keep it reasonably tidy. That's a serious, heavy wave for experienced surfers only.
The second week also has a couple of clean, manageable days. Tuesday morning the 22nd and Tuesday afternoon the 22nd both look solid with 6ft and 6ft waves from the NNW, clean light winds, and good energy readings. That's a very consistent, fun day of surfing.
So, bottom line: the first week is a struggle, but the second week is where the magic is. Sunday the 20th is the one to chase, with Monday the 21st for the brave souls. Patience is a virtue.
Rusty.

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.
