Table - best surf conditions forecast for Porto Batel over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ our way.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. For the next week and a half or so, the surf is tiny and the conditions are just not coming together for a proper paddle. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely anything rideable.
From Wednesday the 8th through to Sunday the 20th of July, there’s hardly a wave that breaks waist-high. The swell is mostly weak, and the winds, while often cross-offshore, are just blowing over a flat ocean. The combined energy is low, rarely scraping past 100 (55 to 71) for the first week, so it’s a real struggle. The water temp is sitting at 65°F with a slight anomaly of -2°F – so it’s about average for this time of year, no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday the 20th of July. Porto Batel (point) will see a pulse of NNW swell push up to 4ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 160 – moderate for sure – and the winds are cross-off from the NNW at 15 mph, keeping things clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the first time in ages the ocean looks like it might have something to offer. The following Tuesday afternoon, the 21st of July, steps it up a notch with a 4ft NNW swell, energy hitting 184, and the same clean cross-off flow. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but for a spot that’s been starved, it’s the best on offer.
The only other mentionable window is the morning of the 22nd of July, with a 4ft NNW swell and energy at 179, but again, it’s a short-period swell with a fresh 19 mph breeze. It’s rideable, but not the day you’d call in sick for.
So, to sum it up: we’ve got a long stretch of nothing followed by a couple of days in the third week of July that are just barely worth a look. If you’re desperate, aim for the 20th and 21st of July, when the swell gets to chest-high and the wind is clean. Beyond that, we’re back to small stuff.
Rusty.

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.
