Alright, let’s break it down. The first week and a half is mostly a bust for Porto Batel – small and weak. Then we’ve got a big spike in size for the experts later on.
Right now, the swell is tiny, maybe 1ft out of the northwest, with combined energy barely registering (45). The wind is cross-off but there’s no push. This flat spell hangs around until Thursday, July 9th, when we get a tiny bump. Thursday morning offers a 2ft west-northwest swell, 9-second period, with a light cross-off breeze from the north-northwest at 9 mph. The water temp is about 67°, which is normal for this time of year. The energy is still low (71), so it’s ankle-snappers at best.
Friday the 10th is the same – 2ft, light cross-off wind. Still ordinary.
The real highlight, the only one worth planning for, is Tuesday the 21st of July. That afternoon delivers a solid 8ft swell from the north-northwest with a 9-second period. The combined energy surges to 1131. This is expert territory – way too big for the average surfer. The wind holds cross-off from the north-northwest at 19 mph, keeping the surface clean. Being a point break, that longer-period groundswell will wrap in nicely, offering some long waves. Crowds are a real possibility here, especially with a pulse like this on the way. The morning of the 21st is also solid at 8ft (energy 847).
From the 18th on, there’s a build in size, but the wind is strong and the conditions are poor. The 19th has 6ft from the north-northwest, but with fresh breezes, it’s a mess.
So, a lot of flat days, then one big-time session for the pros on the 21st. Get on it if you’ve got the skills.

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.
