The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Porto Batel has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet start. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, messy waves and poor conditions right through the first week and a bit. From Monday the 3rd through to around Friday the 14th, the surf is mostly flat or too weak to get excited about. The wind is often cross-offshore, which keeps the surface clean, but the swell is tiny and the energy is low. You’ll see a few days with marginal surf, but nothing worth paddling out for.
The water temperature here is sitting at 67°, which is about 1° cooler than the long-term average for this time of year. Nothing to worry about, just a touch on the cool side.
Now, the one true standout in this whole outlook comes on Saturday the 15th. The morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (421). The wind is glassy – I mean, dead calm – and that’s a massive positive. It’ll be clean as a whistle. This is a bit of a beach-and-reef setup, and with the short period, it might be a bit walled up, but for a point break like this, that glassy morning is your best shot. The swell is getting up there, so it’s more for the intermediate and above crew. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
The afternoon of the 15th sees the wind shift cross-onshore and the swell bump up to 8ft, so it’ll get a bit choppy and messy. The 16th and 17th continue with moderate to strong swell energy (900 and 952) in the mornings, with waves around 8ft to 8ft from the NNW, but the wind is onshore or cross-shore, so the quality drops. These are for the experts only, as the size is pushing well over 8ft at times. After that, the swell fades again through the 18th.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. Your best bet is the glassy morning of Saturday the 15th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only window that’s worth a look.
Stay safe, and keep an eye on the forecast.
Rusty.

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.
