The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Porto Batel. This is a point break that needs a solid W to NW swell to get going, and we’ve got a bit of a lull at the start.
Water temp is 19°, just a hair cooler than usual for this time of year—nothing to worry about, just a little brisk.
The 27th? Forget it. Choppy, messy, poor conditions. But Friday morning, 28 August, is the one to circle. You’ve got a solid 2.2m swell coming from the WNW with an 11-second period, packing some serious power (1123). And the wind is glass—dead calm. On a point break, that’s about as good as it gets. This is your best bet.
The weekend brings smaller surf with cross-off winds keeping it clean, but nothing with any real punch. Into early September, the wind picks up hard from the north at 30 km/h, ruining even the 1.7m swell.
There’s a nice surprise on Saturday morning, 5 September: a small 0.9m swell, but with a super long 14-second period, pushing the energy up (622). That kind of groundswell on a point break can still give you some long, clean rides. Not a standout, but for the right surfer, it’s a nice session.
Sunday the 6th also starts glassy with a 1.4m NW swell and 12-second period—another good early morning. After that, the wind swings onshore and the surf fades fast through the second week, with nothing worth chasing on the 10th or 11th.
Bottom line: Friday morning, 28 August is the day. The 5th and 6th of September are worth a look if you’re keen and patient, but the real swell is that first Friday.
