The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Porto Batel over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a real struggle. The water is sitting at 63° which is 4° colder than usual for this time of year, so it’s properly nippy. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing special from Monday the 13th right through until Saturday the 18th. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, with weak energy readings bouncing between 11 and 97 – that’s barely a ripple. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-offshore, but it doesn’t matter because there’s just no wave to work with. It’s a write-off for a whole week.
Now, things finally perk up on Sunday the 19th. That morning is the standout for the entire outlook. The swell jumps to 5 feet from the NNW, with a moderate energy reading of 315. The wind is dead calm, glassy conditions – that’s a major positive. It’ll be clean glass. The only catch is that Porto Batel is a point break that can get crowded sometimes, so expect some company. The 5 feet is solid intermediate stuff, not too big for most. The swell period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a wind swell, but with that glassy top it’ll still be fun.
After that, the surf drops back down. Monday the 20th morning has 3 feet from the NNW with light cross-offshore winds and clean conditions, but the energy is moderate at 128. It’s surfable but ordinary. The rest of the week fades into tiny, weak waves again.
Jumping ahead to the second week, there’s a late highlight. On Sunday the 26th, the swell builds to 6 feet and 6 feet from the NW and NNW, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy – not worth it. The real gem is Monday the 27th morning. We’re looking at 7 feet from the NNW with a strong energy reading of 559. The wind is light cross-offshore from the N, keeping it clean. This is expert territory at over 7 feet, so it’s only for the crew who know what they’re doing. The period is still short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a lumpy wind swell, but for Porto Batel, that’s the biggest and best of the whole run. It’s a promising one, but being a week and a half out, keep an eye on it.
That’s the picture. The glassy Sunday morning the 19th is your best bet for a clean, fun session, and the big Monday the 27th is for the advanced lads.
Rusty.

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.
