The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Porto Batel.
This 16-day outlook has some highs and some real lows. The water temp is about 67°, which is roughly 2° cooler than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a wetsuit.
We start off on Wednesday the 19th with no real surf to speak of. There’s a small 3ft swell from the NNW, but with a direct onshore breeze from the SW and a short 7-second period, it’s chopped out and not worth your time. Thursday the 20th is a bit better in the morning – the swell drops to 2ft from the WNW, but the wind goes light and cross-offshore, making it clean. You can ride a longboard there if you’re desperate.
Friday the 21st is where it gets interesting. The swell jumps to 7ft from the NNW, with a solid 11-second period. That’s a groundswell with strong energy (1113). The wind is cross-offshore from the N at 18 mph, so it’ll be clean. This is expert territory, though, as it’s over 8ft. It’s the biggest and most powerful swell of the whole window. For the standout, I’d call Friday the 21st morning – it’s the best barrel potential if you’ve got the skills.
Saturday the 22nd is still fun, with 6ft swell and a 10-second period. The wind stays cross-offshore and clean. From Sunday the 23rd through to Monday the 31st, the wind switches around and messes up a lot of the days. Tuesday the 25th has a tiny 3ft swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but it’s weak.
The second week offers the best consistency. The standout there is Wednesday the 2nd of September – we get a clean 5ft swell from the NW, with a 9-second period and light cross-offshore breeze from the N. The energy is moderate (339) and it will be a great day for intermediates. The morning of Thursday the 3rd follows up with a smaller 3ft swell from the WNW, but clean and rideable.
So, if you want big, powerful waves, aim for the 21st of August. For clean, fun, everyday waves, aim for the 2nd of September. The rest is a bit of a gamble on the wind.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Porto Batel can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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).
