The Lowdown

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Porto Batel.

Overall, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for the next few weeks. We’ve got a solid run of days where the surf is either too small or just plain ugly, so don’t expect much action for a while. The water temp here is sitting at 67°, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

The first real chance of anything surfable isn’t until the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. It’s only 3 ft of swell out of the WNW, but the wind is dead glassy – a proper light breeze from the SW. It’s clean conditions, but the wave comment calls it “ordinary”. The combined energy is weak at 139, so don’t go in with high expectations. It’s a small, clean window.

We then have a bit of a gap with small, poor surf until the morning of Wednesday the 5th. Again, 3 ft from the WNW, but now with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 9 mph. The energy bumps up a little to 187, but it’s still just “ordinary” surf. Nothing to write home about.

The next bit that catches the eye is the morning of Friday, the 7th of August. The swell size picks up to 6 ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds and the wind is a clean cross-offshore 12 mph from the N. The combined swell energy hits 461 – that’s moderate energy, but the wave comment calls it “marginal” – questionable tide conditions. This is getting towards that 8 ft mark, so it might be more for the experienced lot. For a point break like Porto Batel, an 8-second period isn’t ideal, but the size and clean wind make it the best looking session in the first week. Saturday the 8th holds similar 5 ft waves with the same clean cross-offshore breeze.

Now, the real standout, and I mean the only real standout in the whole forecast, is the morning of Saturday the 15th of August. That is over a week away, so take it with a pinch of salt. The model is showing a 7 ft swell from the NNW, combined with clean cross-offshore winds from the N at 15 mph. The energy is strong at 533, and while the period is only 8 seconds again, the size and wind look promising. The 16th of August (Sunday) pushes even bigger with 8 ft and a 9-second period, and the energy is very strong at 906. That’s expert territory for a point break with that short period – it could be a big, clean, but challenging day. If you’re an expert and you can be patient, that Saturday the 15th is the best bet, but it’s a long way off.

For the rest, there’s a lot of small, weak, or poor days, and a few days with nothing on offer at all. It’s not a classic run, but at least for a few mornings there’s clean wind on offer.

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.
