The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from Porto Batel.
Look, if you're lookin' for glory, you're gonna have to be patient. The first week is a bit of a write-off, with a lot of messy, weak swell and cross-shore winds. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin' at 70°, which is a nice little bonus, but it won't help the waves.
Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are a total no-go. We're talkin' small, weak swell with a combined energy of just 84 and 298, blown out by fresh breezes. Sunday the 26th is a bit bigger, with 6ft of swell from the NNW, but it's still a messy affair, and the energy's only moderate at 426. Not worth paddlin' out for.
Then, we get a little window. Monday morning, July 27th is the first real highlight. The wind drops right off to a slight air, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The swell is a touch smaller at 4ft, but the energy is moderate (246) and the conditions are clean. It's not a massive day, but it's the best we've seen in a while. The northwest swell is a little short-period at 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit more disorganized at the point, but there will be waves.
The next real standout isn't until Wednesday morning, August 5th. This is a promising one, but it's over a week away, so don't hold your breath. The forecast shows a 4ft swell from the NW, but with a very long period of 11 seconds and a solid energy of 370. The wind is light and cross-off, it'll be clean. That long-period groundswell will wrap around the point nicely and give us some proper lines.
And finally, for the true patient ones, Saturday morning, August 8th is looking like the pick of the bunch. We've got a 4ft swell from the WNW, with energy of 358, and the wind is forecast to be completely glassy. If that holds, it'll be a beautiful, clean morning at the point. The swell period is a bit shorter at 9 seconds, so it won't have the same grunt as the 5th, but the glassy conditions will make up for it.
So, the call is: Monday the 27th for a fun, clean session, but keep your eyes on Wednesday the 5th and Saturday the 8th for the real potential. It's a waiting game, but there's light at the end of the tunnel.
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.
