The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, looking at the 16-day picture for Porto Batel. Honestly, it's a bit of a tough stretch for the next couple of weeks. We're coming off a period of tiny, weak swell with cross-shore winds, and the water is sitting at 63.7°, which is a fair bit colder than usual for this time of year.
The first real hint of something happening arrives on the morning of Monday, 22nd July. The wind will be clean with a cross-off breeze, and we'll see some waist-high, 3.9ft swell from the WNW, but the energy is still only moderate (195). It's not a standout, but it's a sign of life.
The best window on offer, and it's the only true standout, looks to be the morning of Thursday, 23rd July. The swell gets a little bump to 4.3ft from the WNW, and the wind is clean and cross-off. The combined energy is moderate (207) and the call is for "good surf conditions." It's a classic point break setup with a clean offshore, so expect some fun, lined-up waves. Just be aware, crowds are sometimes an issue here.
The following week builds some size, but it comes with a catch. On Friday, 24th July, the afternoon sees a jump to 5.9ft from the NW with a long period of 13 seconds, and the energy is strong (949). Then Saturday, 25th July morning is the biggest of the run, with 6.9ft from the NW at 11 seconds and very strong energy (1132). The wind stays clean and cross-off. However, the forecast notes these are marginal for quality, with questionable tide conditions. For an intermediate, anything over 4.9ft is getting punchy, and 6.9ft is solid. The long period groundswell will be good for the point, but it's for the more experienced crew. Those N winds at 30 km/h on Saturday morning are a fresh breeze, which will be gusty. So, while the size is there, the quality looks a bit wild.
Beyond that, the last days of the month see some solid size again, like 7.9ft on the 27th, but with cross-shore winds and chop, it's not the cleanest. There's a lot of marginal conditions in the second week, so the standout is clear: get on it the morning of the 23rd of July for the best chance at a clean, fun session.
