The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Porto Batel.

Right now, we're looking at a bit of a slow start. The early days are small and scrappy, with the odd clean wave but nothing that'll really get the heart pumping. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a couple of degrees colder than you'd expect for this time of year, so you'll want a decent wetsuit.

Thursday the 10th has a clean 3.9ft swell from the NNW with a cross-off breeze, but the energy is only moderate and the conditions are marginal. Friday the 11th drops off even more, and Saturday the 12th shows a bump back up to 3.9ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds, making for a bit of a messy, crumbly wave.

Sunday the 13th brings a bit more size at 3.6ft, but with a clean cross-off wind. However, the early week is still a bit of a mixed bag.

The real standout window opens up on Thursday the 17th of September. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. You've got a solid 5.6ft of NNW groundswell with a long 11-second period, pushing through with a gentle offshore breeze. The combined energy is strong. This is a point break, and with that long period, it's going to handle the shape beautifully. It'll be clean, powerful, and have proper lines. If you can get a few hours off, this is the one. Be warned though, the crowds are sometimes a factor here, so get in early.

The surf stays rideable through the following week, with solid pulses. Another big one to mark in your calendar is Thursday the 24th of September. We see a 6.9ft NNW swell with a clean light cross-off breeze and very good conditions expected. This is slightly bigger, but still manageable, and the energy is strong.

Then, heading into Friday the 25th of September, the ocean really wakes up. We're looking at a massive 9.8ft NNW groundswell with an incredibly long 15-second period – that's proper, deep ocean energy. The combined energy is absolutely huge. While the wind is light cross-onshore, this wave size is solidly in expert-only territory. For anyone else, that's a day to watch from the sand with a coffee. This one is promising but it's at the far end of the forecast, so keep an eye on it.

So, the bottom line: Thursday the 17th morning is your absolute best bet for quality, clean waves. The 24th is another good call for a bit more size. The 25th is a monster for the brave boys only.

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.
