The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the surf for Porto Batel. Fair warning, it’s gonna be a bit of a slow start. We’re stuck in a bit of a funk right through until late on Thursday the 28th of August. The first few days are a write-off, with onshore winds and sloppy, messy waves. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are a total no-go, with poor surf conditions and bumpy wind. Thursday the 27th is no better, with fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy, weak waves. It’s a solid three-day gap of nothing.
But then, things finally turn around. Friday morning, the 28th of August, is where it’s at. The wind swings offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, and we get a clean, 8ft groundswell from the WNW. That’s a proper long-period swell at 11 seconds, and the combined energy hits 1350 (strong wave energy), meaning it’s got some serious grunt. This is a standout for experienced surfers only – at 8ft, it’s too big for beginners, and the long period will make it wall up and peel nicely along this point. The water temp is 66°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, but it’s worth it for the clean lines.
After that, the conditions back off a bit. Friday afternoon and Saturday the 29th are still rideable, but the swell drops and the wind goes cross-offshore, so it’s more marginal. The rest of the first week and into the second week is a mix of clean but weak surf, with the swell bouncing between 2ft and 6ft. Nothing special, but it’s not blown out.
Looking further out, we’ve got a promising run from Monday the 7th of September. The morning brings a 8ft NNW swell with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1839 (strong wave energy). That’s expert territory again, with clean, cross-offshore wind. Tuesday the 8th also has a 7ft NNW swell, and then a weird 4ft NW swell with a very long 16-second period – that’s a real groundswell, and it’ll hold up well at this point break, but be ready for some long lulls between sets. The rest of the second week looks consistent but nothing to write home about, mostly 6ft to 7ft with clean conditions.
So, the standout is Friday morning the 28th of August – that’s your best bet for the cleanest, punchiest waves. Keep an eye on the 7th and 8th of September for the biggest swell, but it’s a bit further out, so don’t book the day off just yet.
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.
