The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's cookin' for Porto Batel. Gotta be straight with you, it's gonna be a real test of patience. This is a classic point break setup and it loves a good W swell, but don't expect much for a while.

The water temp is sitting right on average for the time of year at 68°, so nothing weird going on there with the anomaly.

The opening days are a tough watch. We're starting off Wednesday morning the 29th with a little 3ft swell from the NNW, but the combined energy is weak at (147) and the period is short. The wind is cross-off so it'll look clean, but the wave quality is just flat-out ordinary. We're staring down a long, bleak run. From Wednesday afternoon right through to Saturday the 9th of August, it's pretty much all "poor surf conditions" or "marginal" at best. There are some tiny pulses in there, like a 3ft one on the 1st of August, but the period is a shocking 6 seconds – no energy at all.

We do see a little bump in size on Sunday morning the 2nd with 4ft from the NNW, but again, short period (7 seconds) and weak energy (182). It's still not worth paddling out for. The whole first week and a half is a write-off. You're looking at a solid 10-day gap before anything starts to get interesting.

Now, if you can hold on, there's a glimmer of hope. The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Sunday the 9th of August. The morning session looks like the best on offer by a long shot. We’ve got 4ft of swell pushing in from the NNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a much healthier (235). The wind is light offshore from the North, which for Porto Batel means clean, lined-up waves peeling down the point. It’s still not huge, but at this point it’s the best quality we’re going to get. This spot can get crowded, so you’ll want to be on it early.

Sunday afternoon and into Monday the 10th, the energy drops back off and the quality slips away again. There’s a long-period (12 seconds) pulse on Monday afternoon that hits (220), but it’s 2ft from the NNW with a stiff 16 mph wind. The period is long enough for a point break to prize, but the size just isn't there to make it worthwhile. After that, the forecast fades out into small, weak surf for the rest of the period.

Honestly, the entire 16-day window is pretty grim. Sunday morning the 9th is the only real stand-out, and even then it's more of a "good for what it is" call. For everything else, you’re better off leaving the board in the car. This is one of those stretches where the forecasts will hopefully look better tomorrow than they do today.

Stay patient.
Rusty.

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.
