The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Well, the next 16 days at Porto Batel (point break) are a real mixed bag, but there’s a couple of standout sessions that’ll make you forget the ordinary spells. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need to reach for the thickest wetsuit just yet.
Thursday the 27th is a write-off, so don’t bother paddling out. Then Friday the 28th afternoon is where it starts to get interesting. We’ve got a 8ft NW swell with a solid 11-second period, and the combined swell energy is pumping at 1210. That’s moderate to strong energy, and with a clean cross-off breeze, Porto Batel will be offering up excellent, well-shaped waves for experienced surfers. This is hands-down the best session of the first week.
The weekend drops off a bit. Saturday the 29th sees smaller 5ft sets, and Sunday the 30th is a bit ordinary. Monday the 31st is poor, and Tuesday the 1st of September is marginal at best, with a fresh cross-off wind making things lumpy. The first week of September is a bit of a letdown, with only marginal surf mid-week.
Now, look ahead to Saturday the 5th of September – that’s the real standout. Early morning brings glassy conditions, a 3ft NW swell, but the period is a long 13 seconds, so it’s got some push. The combined energy is 583, which is moderate, but the glassy wind and clean conditions mean expect very good surf. This is a rare gem, and a long-period groundswell like this can be best at a point break like Porto Batel, so be ready for long, clean lines.
The following week shows promise. Monday the 8th of September morning has a 7ft NNW swell, and the energy is a strong 942, with a slight air and clean conditions – that’s a very good session. Tuesday the 9th morning is also very good with 7ft sets. But the week after that fades again, with onshore winds Thursday the 10th and only marginal surf Friday the 11th. Overall, don’t waste your time on the first few days, but pencil in Friday the 28th afternoon and Saturday the 5th of September morning – those are the ones.
Rusty.
