The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down for Porto Batel. This is a point break that needs a solid W to NW swell to get going, and we’ve got a bit of a lull at the start.

Water temp is 19°, just a hair cooler than usual for this time of year—nothing to worry about, just a little brisk.

The 27th? Forget it. Choppy, messy, poor conditions. But Friday morning, 28 August, is the one to circle. You’ve got a solid 2.2m swell coming from the WNW with an 11-second period, packing some serious power (1123). And the wind is glass—dead calm. On a point break, that’s about as good as it gets. This is your best bet.

The weekend brings smaller surf with cross-off winds keeping it clean, but nothing with any real punch. Into early September, the wind picks up hard from the north at 30 km/h, ruining even the 1.7m swell.

There’s a nice surprise on Saturday morning, 5 September: a small 0.9m swell, but with a super long 14-second period, pushing the energy up (622). That kind of groundswell on a point break can still give you some long, clean rides. Not a standout, but for the right surfer, it’s a nice session.

Sunday the 6th also starts glassy with a 1.4m NW swell and 12-second period—another good early morning. After that, the wind swings onshore and the surf fades fast through the second week, with nothing worth chasing on the 10th or 11th.

Bottom line: Friday morning, 28 August is the day. The 5th and 6th of September are worth a look if you’re keen and patient, but the real swell is that first Friday.

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.
