The Lowdown
Righto, grab your stick and listen up. Rusty here with a look at what's coming our way for Porto Batel.
The next 16 days start a bit slow with small, choppy waves, but we've got some real gems hiding in the second week. The overall pattern is a long wait for some serious energy to line up.
We kick off this Friday, the 11th, with a weak 2ft swell from the NNW at a short 9 second period. The energy is a paltry (75), and it's just not happening. A couple of days of small, messy surf follow. The standout to keep an eye on is actually Saturday morning, September 21st. After a few days of fair-to-middling surf, we see a lovely clean 4ft swell from the NNW rolling in at a very long 14-second period. The wind is light and offshore, and the energy is solid at (660). It’s looking like a fantastic combination of clean conditions and proper groundswell. This point break will likely handle that long period beautifully. Be aware that crowds are possible here.
However, the true highlight, and the one that has me buzzing, is Friday morning, September 25th. This is an 8ft swell from the NW with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy is an impressive (3018). This is a powerful, well-defined groundswell, but this size is only for experienced surfers. With clean conditions and that direction locking perfectly into the optimum W swell direction for the point, this is the session to pencil in. It's far out, so there's some uncertainty, but the potential is massive.
The water temperature is sitting at 64°F, which is a huge 5° colder than normal for this time of year. You'll want a decent wettie or a thick spring suit for that first good session.

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.
