The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for Porto Ferro, it’s going to be a tough stretch for surfers. This is a classic reef break that’s exposed to NW swell, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times, but right now, the charts are mostly flat or offering tiny, weak waves with poor conditions.

The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real standout, feeling much warmer than normal when you paddle out.

The entire first week, from Sunday 2 August right through to the end of Sunday 9 August, is a write-off. There’s barely any swell energy, with combined energy readings mostly in single digits or low teens – weak stuff (14 or less). The odd morning might be glassy, like Tuesday 4 August morning or Saturday 8 August morning, but with zero swell, it doesn’t matter. The best height you’ll see in this period is a tiny 3ft on Friday 7 August morning, but with light cross-onshore bumps and a short period of 7 seconds, it’s just not worth getting wet.

Things get a little more interesting in the second week. Monday 10 August morning sees a bump to 3ft from the NW, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy climbing to 85. The wind is light cross-offshore from the SE, making it clean. The conditions are described as “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s not great, but it’s the first real option in over a week.

Then, Saturday 15 August morning is the only true standout in the whole 16-day window. The swell picks up to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy hitting 154 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is light cross-offshore from the SSE, so the waves will be clean. Porto Ferro is a reef break, so that longer-period groundswell energy (though only 7 seconds) will bend nicely around the reef, offering some shape. Keep in mind that this spot is inconsistent, so this swell might not be a sure thing, but it’s the best chance you’ll get. The afternoon gets choppy with cross-onshore wind, so get on it early.

After that, it’s back to tiny, weak surf for the rest of the 16 days.

So, plan your session for Saturday 15 August morning. It’s the one window where the swell direction, wind, and break quality come together for a clean, surfable wave. The rest of the forecast is a flat, hot pause.

Information about the Porto Ferro Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Porto Ferro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Porto Ferro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Porto Ferro 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 Ferro) 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 Ferro 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.
