The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for Porto Batel. We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way over the next couple of weeks, so let's break it down.
We kick things off with a rough patch. Friday the 24th is a write-off with bumpy, cross-onshore wind and weak, short-period swell. It’s not going to be pretty out there. The poor conditions hang around through the weekend, with a solid 7ft pulse of swell on Sunday the 26th, but the wind is just too strong and cross-off to make it decent.
The first real highlight pops up on Monday the 27th. It's an early start, but the morning delivers a glassy session. The wind is dead calm and we’ve got a clean 4ft swell. It's not huge, but with that glassy surface and moderate wave energy (242), it's a gem. After that, the winds turn onshore again in the arvo, so get on it early.
The middle of the week (Tuesday 28th through Friday 31st) is a bit of a slump. Swell drops right off into the knee-to-waist high range, and the winds are mostly cross or cross-off. There’s a sessionable window on Saturday morning, August 1st, with a light offshore wind and clean 3ft swell. It’s very ordinary but surfable.
Now, looking further ahead, there’s a period building from Sunday, August 2nd, that deserves a mention. This is your best bet for a proper surf. Swell ramps up from 4ft on Sunday to a solid 8ft by Tuesday the 4th. There’s a lot of energy in the water here, with combined energy values hitting 614 on August 3rd and a massive 805 on the Wednesday morning. The caveat is that the swell period is around 8-9 seconds, so it’s more of a windswell than a long-period groundswell. The winds stay cross-offshore, which will keep the surface reasonably clean. However, when it gets over 7ft like it does on August 3rd and 4th, this is looking more like an expert-only zone, especially with that wind. It could also be one for the kite crew if the setup gets too choppy for a paddle.
Overall, the standout is the Monday 27th morning session for the glassy, clean conditions. For the bigger, punchier stuff, keep an eye on Tuesday August 4th through Wednesday August 5th – that’s the biggest swell window, but it’s strictly for the experienced lot.
Rusty.

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.
