The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board. I’m gonna walk you through the next couple of weeks here at Porto Batel. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there’s a little light at the end of the tunnel.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a pretty flat and quiet scene. From the 15th through the 24th, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, with short-period, weak energy swells. The combined wave energy barely cracks triple digits, and most days it’s sitting in the double digits – that’s weak. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power behind it. The water temp is sitting at 64° which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
The first real sign of life shows up around the 28th. Tuesday the 28th has some muscle building, with swell pushing 4 ft from the WNW, period around 8 seconds, and energy jumping up to 209. The wind is offshore from the N, so it’s clean. It’s still not a standout, but it’s a step in the right direction.
Now, if you’ve got patience, the real prize is shaping up for the end of the month. Wednesday the 29th sees the swell start to pump, hitting 5 ft to 6 ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is up in the 400-500 range – that’s solid. The wind is offshore from the N, so it’s going to be clean. This is intermediate territory, but it’s looking good.
The best day of the whole forecast, no question, is Thursday the 30th of July. The morning brings a solid 7 ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the ENE, making for super clean conditions. The combined energy is a very strong 508. This is for the experienced crew, as it’s over 8 ft, but the quality is there. The afternoon stays solid at 7 ft, with a moderate offshore breeze. This is the window to circle on your calendar.
Sign off: Keep your eyes on the 30th, folks. The rest of the window is a waiting game, but that day looks like it could be a proper session. Be patient, and you’ll be rewarded.

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.
