The Lowdown
Right, let’s talk feet and miles, mate.
Looking at the whole picture for Porto Batel, it’s a real drought for a while. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to Saturday the 8th of August, the surf is a no-go. We’re talking knee-to-waist-high slop, short-period, and messy. The wind is mostly cross-off, which keeps it clean, but the swell just doesn’t have any power. There’s no real recommendation here for over a week.
The only time things get interesting is on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. We see a bump to about 5ft, but it’s short-period at 6 seconds, so it’s going to be lumpy and hard to read. It’s marginal at best—definitely not the day to go out if you’re not comfortable in punchy, uneven surf.
If you’re looking for the one true standout, it’s the morning of Monday the 10th of August. The swell jumps to about 8ft from the NNW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is 885 (moderate to strong), and the wind is blowing from the N at 22 mph, which is cross-off. That’s clean. But 8ft waves are for experts only. This is a solid groundswell hitting a point, so it could offer some great, long walls for those who know what they’re doing. It’s far out though, so treat it as a promising but uncertain call.
After that, the swell fades back down quickly through the rest of the second week. Water temp is about 68°F, pretty average for the season.
So, in short: a long stretch of nothing, then one big, powerful day for the experts about a week and a half out. Keep the board in the car just in case it fires.

A general guide to surfing at Porto Batel can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
