The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. We’re looking at Praia do Porto as the only game in town here. It’s a beach and jetty break that breaks fairly often, and it likes swell from the southeast.
Water temp is about 17°, which is a couple of degrees colder than normal for September – you’ll feel that bite.
Starting Saturday the 12th, there’s head-high swell (about 6ft) from the south with a short period, and a 25 km/h offshore wind from the SSW keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate. Sunday is smaller – around 3ft to 4ft – but still with offshore wind, making for a pleasant paddle.
Monday the 14th brings 4ft south swell with a longer 11-second period and light offshore breezes. Clean. Tuesday the 15th has a 5ft easterly swell early with offshore wind – that’s a nice surprise.
Wednesday the 16th is the first big highlight. The morning delivers 7ft south swell with a solid 1078 combined energy (strong), and offshore winds. This is expert territory at that size. The afternoon gets a bit dicey with cross-off winds.
From Thursday the 17th through Wednesday the 23rd, it’s mostly rough with onshore winds and poor conditions. There’s a little window on the 19th with 3ft and offshore wind, but it’s weak.
The absolute best of the whole forecast is Thursday the 24th. The morning sees 6ft south swell with a 10-second period and a massive 1594 combined energy (very strong). And the wind? Dead glassy – 5 km/h from the north. That’s “excellent for experienced surfers.” The afternoon is 5ft south swell with 11-second period, also glassy. This is your day.
The 25th and 26th get messy with onshore winds again, but Sunday the 27th shows a 6ft east swell with offshore winds in the morning, and a 7ft ENE swell with offshore winds in the afternoon – a solid finish.
Circle Thursday the 24th. That’s the one to call in sick for.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Praia do Porto can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Praia do Porto 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.
