The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Porto Batel over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a slow start, real slow. The first few days are a write-off, with nothing but poor, choppy conditions. Winds are cross or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. You’d be better off stayin’ home and waxin’ your board.
Things start to get a pulse on Sunday, July 26th. The swell bumps up to 8 feet from the NNW, and the wind swings cross-offshore, cleanin’ things right up. The combined energy (686) is solid, but it’s a bit of a grunty one. That 8 feet plus a short 8-second period makes it a bit of a handful – more for the experienced crew. It’s a point break, so it’ll handle that size, but it ain’t beginner territory.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waitin’ for, is Monday, July 27th morning. The swell drops a touch to a more manageable 6 feet from the NNW, but the wind is light and offshore from the north, givin’ us clean, lined-up waves. The energy is still strong at 395, and it’s a point break, so it’ll peel nicely. That’s your best bet for the whole stretch. Get on it. Tuesday, July 28th morning is also a good backup, with a clean 5 feet swell and a longer 9-second period, and glassy winds.
Then it fades again. The first week of August sees a drop in size, with small 2 feet to 3 feet waves rollin’ in from the WNW. The conditions are clean, but it’s just not punchy enough to get excited about. The 5th of August has a bit of a longer period (11 seconds) from the WNW, but the swell is tiny at 3 feet, so it’ll be weak and slow.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a total loss. The action kicks off Sunday, July 26th for the experts, but the real golden window is Monday, July 27th morning. After that, it’s a slow fade into small, clean, but ultimately unremarkable waves. The wait is worth it for that Monday session, though.
Rusty.
