The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here lookin’ at the surf ahead for Porto Batel. We’ve got a fair run of waves on the way, but it’s gonna take a few days to really fire up. The water temp’s pretty standard for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The early part of the week, Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th, is a bit of a letdown. Thursday morning pushes through a small 3-foot swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, but the cross-off wind and only moderate energy (219) just ain’t enough to get excited about. Friday’s even worse, with a short-period, messy NNW swell that jumps up to 5-5 feet but the period drops to a weak 6 seconds, and the wind stays cross-off – the energy ramps up a bit (269-300) but the quality’s poor.
Now, the standout window is Sunday the 16th through Monday the 17th. Sunday morning brings a solid 8-foot NNW swell, still a bit of a short period at 8 seconds, but the wind turns offshore from the ENE at just 3 mph, and the energy is pumping at 875. That’s clean, powerful surf for the more experienced crew – it’s a bit heavy for beginners. Then Monday the 17th morning is the real gem: glassy conditions, with that offshore ENE breeze dropping to near nothing, and a 7-foot NNW swell at 9 seconds. The energy sits at 693, and with the glass-off, Porto Batel will be at its best. This is the pick of the whole outlook.
After that, the quality drops away. Tuesday the 18th gets a bit bumpy with onshore winds, and Wednesday the 19th is a write-off with onshores and weak swell (160-190). There’s a brief blip on Thursday the 20th morning, with a 7-foot NNW swell and very long 11-second period, but it’s onshore and unknown conditions – the energy is massive at 1151, but the wind’s no good, so it’s a bit of a tease for the experts only.
Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd stay consistent with 7-8-foot NNW swells and cross-off winds, but not the same quality as the weekend. The energy stays moderate (501-873), so there’ll be waves, but nothing to write home about. By Sunday the 23rd, it fizzles right out to a tiny 2-foot swell, and the rest of the outlook into the end of August is a mix of small, onshore, or poor conditions – nothing worth paddling out for.
Bottom line: pour your coffee, mark Sunday morning the 16th and especially Monday morning the 17th on the calendar. That glassy, head-high plus NNW swell is your best chance for a proper session at Porto Batel. Crowds are possible here on the better days, so get in early.

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.
