The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Porto Batel.
The next couple of days are a total write-off, honestly. Friday and Saturday are messy with strong cross-offshore winds and pretty average conditions. The water’s about average for the time of year, so nothing to write home about there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday morning, the 16th of August. We’ve got a clean 7ft swell from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds, and combined wave energy hitting a solid 709 (moderate). It’s got clean conditions with a light easterly breeze, making for some decent, surfable waves for the intermediate crew. It won’t be epic, but it’s the first real option.
Then Monday the 17th, the early session is the standout. The wind goes glassy out of the ENE at just 3 mph, and you’ve got a clean 6ft NNW swell with moderate energy (488). That paddle out is going to be easy, and the wave shape will be nice and clean. That morning window is your best bet for a proper uncrowded, fun session before it gets a bit bumpy in the afternoon.
After that, it fades badly. Tuesday through Thursday next week is a total dud—poor conditions, onshore winds, and the swell drops right away. There are several days of nothing worth chasing.
Looking further ahead, things get a bit more promising but less certain. Around Saturday the 22nd of August, we’re seeing a solid bump in size to 8ft from the NNW with a 9-second period and wave energy ramping up past 1000 (1049 – strong). It’s going to be powerful, and with those strong N winds, it’ll be a strong cross-offshore wind. That’s big and a bit unruly for beginners, but for a strong intermediate or expert, it might offer some punch.
The biggest size shows up on Monday the 24th of August, with groundswell energy hitting 1438 (very strong) and a 10ft swell from the NNW. That’s expert territory. The wind is still a clean cross-off, but that size and power will be intimidating for most. Not a day for the faint of heart.
In short: your standout is the early glass-off on Monday the 17th of August. The big swells around the 22nd-24th are promising, but far out and uncertain.
Rusty.
