The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Porto Batel. It’s a mixed bag, a bit of a waiting game, but there are definitely some windows where this point break is going to light up.

The water's sitting at a normal 68°F for this time of year, so no surprises there. The opening stretch is slow, with Friday the 14th offering nothing but small, weak lines. Don't even bother. The weekend gets a bit more interesting, but it’s not clean. Saturday the 15th sees a jump in size to 8ft, but with that onshore wind and a short 8-second period, it’s going to be a mess. Sunday morning the 16th is a different story – the wind drops right off, and we get a clean 7ft of cross-off swell. That’s the first real standout. The energy is moderate (627), and it's the kind of day where the point should be running nicely. That’s your pick for the opening week.

After that, the middle of the week is pretty average. Monday the 17th has glassy conditions in the morning on a 6ft swell, but it’s a bit short-period. The winds turn onshore by the afternoon and it goes to crap. Tuesday through Thursday (18th-20th) is poor – small, weak, and choppy. The swell drops out entirely. Plan for a flat spell of a few days there.

We get a shot of new energy on Friday the 21st (7-7ft) and Saturday the 22nd (5ft), but it’s all short-period and the winds are fresh, so it’ll be better than the midweek nothing, but still rough. Then things go flat again on the 23rd and 24th. A small clean window appears on Monday the 24th afternoon and Tuesday the 25th morning, with a 5-7ft cross-off swell but the period is still short, so it won't be world-class.

Now, for the long-range promise. The real gold is at the end of the outlook. On Friday the 28th, watch for a solid pulse from the WNW/NW around 6ft with an 11-second period. That's a proper groundswell and the energy is strong (828-875). It’s a promising sign.

And then, the big one. Saturday the 29th. This is the standout of the entire 16-day period. The forecast is for a serious 12ft of long-period NNW groundswell, with that massive 14-second period. The energy numbers are enormous (5260 in the morning!). This is a powerful swell, the kind that will have Porto Batel absolutely stacked. But you need to be experienced for this – at this size, it's pushing well past the beginner zone and is in the realm for expert surfers only. The winds are forecast to be cross-off, which would be perfect, but with that much power, it could be a bit of a beast. It’s far out, so don't book the time off just yet, but keep your eyes on it. This is going to be one to remember.

Rusty, out.

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.
