Alright, let’s get straight into it.
The next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Porto Batel. The first real chance of something worthwhile doesn’t show up until Saturday the 18th, and even then it’s a mixed bag. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly onshore wind-affected surf before that. The first several days are basically a write-off.
From Sunday the 12th right through to Friday the 17th, it’s pretty grim. Tiny waves, mostly under 3ft, with cross-on or onshore winds and poor surf conditions. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (142) on the best of those days, and mostly dropping into the double digits. Not worth getting wet for.
Now, Saturday the 18th morning is the standout. It’s not huge, but it’s the best of the run. Porto Batel is a point break, exposed to the west swell, and we’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 238. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW, which is a major positive – that’ll keep the surface glassy and clean. This is a good option for intermediate surfers, but it’s not for beginners, as the swell is over 5ft. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are possible here sometimes. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Sunday the 19th morning is still surfable, with 5ft from the NNW and clean cross-off winds, but it’s a step down in quality. The energy is still moderate (211), but it’s marginal. Monday the 20th morning brings a similar 5ft swell from the NNW, again with clean cross-off winds, but it’s also marginal. The afternoon sessions on these days drop off sharply.
After that, it fades again. The rest of the second week through to the 27th is mostly small, with occasional pulses of 3ft to 5ft, but the winds stay clean and cross-off, which is a positive. The energy is mostly weak to moderate. Nothing else really stands out as a must-surf session.
So, if you’re picking your moment, lock in Saturday the 18th morning. Clean, solid waist-to-chest high waves at Porto Batel, with that cross-off wind making it look good. The rest of the time, you’re waiting for a pulse that might not fire.

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.
