The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, Rusty here, checking the vibes for Porto Batel over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a painfully slow start to the run. From Thursday the 3rd right through to the 6th, it's mostly flat with tiny, weak waves. The swell barely breaks 3 feet, and while we get some clean morning offshores from light breezes, the wave energy is pitiful. There’s just no push at all from those short period WNW swells.
Then Sunday the 6th finally gives us something to paddle for. A NNW swell jumps to about 4 feet with a 12-second period, and the energy hits a moderate 611. The wind is cross-off from the north at 12 mph in the morning, keeping the surface clean. This is the first real window to get a couple of good, longer rides, but the north wind is more side-off, not pure offshore.
The week between the 9th and the 13th is dead. The swell sticks between 5 and 6 feet, but the period drops to 8 seconds, and it’s blown out by fresh 19 mph cross-off northerlies. The scores are zero for days. Honestly, it’s just messy, chunky water.
The big news, the one to watch, is Wednesday the 16th. A strong NNW swell builds to 7 feet in the morning with a very powerful combined energy of 1066. The period sits at 9 seconds, so there’s plenty of grunt. The west wind will be light cross-onshore at 6 mph, which isn't glassy, but for a point break it still holds shape. This is for experienced surfers only at that size – it's big and heavy. That morning is the highlight of the big stuff.
Finally, on Friday the 18th morning, it all comes together. A beautiful light offshore breeze from the NNW at 6 mph, a clean 3 foot swell from the NNW with a 10-second period, and a solid 256 energy reading. It’s the first time the conditions are labelled as “good surf.” It won't be overhead, but the lines will be perfect and consistent.
So here’s the wrap: the first week and a half is a dud. The only two real callouts are Sunday the 6th morning for a glassy, small session, and then Friday the 18th morning for clean, fun lines. If you’re a big wave charger, the 16th morning has the power but comes with a side-wind. Be patient.

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.
