The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for Porto Batel, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. This point break is pretty exposed to the west swell, and it’s gonna be a wait for the good stuff. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a little bit of extra warmth in the water.
We’ve got a bit of a dry spell to kick things off. The first real chance to get wet comes on Monday morning, the 27th of July. It’s gonna be glassy – absolutely flat calm – with a small 4ft swell from the NNW. It’s not a huge day, but with that clean, zero wind, it’s a solid session for the intermediate crew. The energy is moderate at 236. It’s a nice little start.
Tuesday morning, the 28th, is the standout for the first week. Swell builds to 4ft from the NNW, and we’ve got a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. That’s a clean, lined-up wave. The combined energy jumps to 381, so there’s a bit more push. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s a decent groundswell, not too long, not too short. This is the one to point your board at. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
After that, it gets pretty ordinary. From Wednesday the 29th through to the end of the first week, the swell drops off. Mornings might offer a tiny, clean wave, but the energy is weak, dropping below 100 by Thursday. The wind stays cross-off, but it’s just not enough size to get excited about.
The second week is a slow burn, too. There’s a little pulse of 3ft on Wednesday the 5th of August, but the period is a short 6 seconds, meaning it’s gonna be weak and choppy. It’s not really worth the paddle.
Then we get a bit of a promise for the long-range. Sunday the 9th of August shows a solid 5ft swell from the WNW, with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The energy is massive at 687. But here’s the thing – the wind is blowing 15-16 mph cross-off. That’s fresh, and it’s going to put a lot of chop on the face. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than a clean paddle session. It’s a marginal call for surfers.
The real big one, though, is Tuesday the 11th of August. We’re looking at a 7ft swell from the NW, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a whopping 1450 – that’s a lot of power. This is a serious swell, too big for beginners, and it’s in the expert zone. The wind is a strong 19-22 mph cross-off, so it’s going to be a battle. If you’re a charger and you can handle the wind, this could be a standout, but it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed.
Overall, if you’re looking for a clean, fun session, Tuesday morning the 28th of July is your best bet. All the other days are mostly small and ordinary, or big and windy.

Information about the Porto Batel Surf forecast

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.
