The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Porto Batel has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a solid run of tiny, weak, and messy conditions for over a week. From Saturday the 18th all the way through to Monday the 27th of July, the waves are just too small to bother with, with most days showing swell under 3.3 ft and combined energy stuck below 150 for most of it. A few mornings have a bit of cross-off wind, which is a nice idea, but there's just no power behind it. You’re better off saving your energy and waiting.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning brings a jump in size to 5.9 ft from the NNW, with a combined energy of 291 – still not massive, but a whole lot more than we’ve seen. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE, so it'll be rideable. It’s still a bit short period (6 seconds), so it’ll be a bit crumby and won't have that long lines you’d dream of, but it’s a start.

Now, the big news. The standout window is from Wednesday the 29th of July through to Sunday the 2nd of August. This is where it gets real. Wednesday morning is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 8.2 ft swell from the NNW, and it’s backed by a massive combined energy of 1174. The wind is light from the north, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. This is serious swell for experienced surfers. Anything over 8.2 ft like this is for the crew who know what they’re doing, and Porto Batel is a point break, so it should handle that size well and offer some proper long walls. The period is still a bit short at 8 seconds, so it won’t have that deep groundswell pulse, but with that much energy, it’ll be a fun, punchy wave.

The energy keeps pumping through the end of the month. Thursday the 30th of July morning is another cracker, with the same 8.2 ft swell and a light offshore from the ENE. That’s the dream combo – clean, offshore wind and a solid swell. Friday the 31st is also very good in the morning with 7.2 ft and light offshore wind. Then, into the first weekend of August, the swell really flexes its muscles. Saturday the 1st of August morning shows 9.8 ft from the NNW with a combined energy of 1461, and Sunday the 2nd of August morning hits 11.5 ft with a whopping 2283 energy. These are big, powerful swells, and again, only for the experienced crew. The winds are manageable, but that much raw energy on a point will be a handful.

The water temp is sitting at 67.5°F with a tiny anomaly, so it’s pretty much spot on for the time of year – a little fresh, but not a wetsuit drama for most.

So, to wrap it up: forget the first week. The real action kicks off on the 28th, but the absolute best bets are the mornings of the 29th, 30th, and 31st of July, and the 1st and 2nd of August. Out of those, the 30th of July morning with clean offshore ENE wind and solid 8.2 ft swell is the pinnacle of the forecast. Crowds are "sometimes" an issue here, so expect company on those good days.

Stay stoked, and don't be a kook on the big days.

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.
