The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s shaping up for Praia do Porto. This is a beach and jetty setup, fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the real action kicks off on the 24th of July. The first few days of the outlook are pretty ordinary, with small waves and nothing to get excited about. On Wednesday the 22nd, you’re looking at waves around 4ft from the ENE with a short period, and the wind is light offshore, but the conditions are just mediocre. The energy is moderate (222). The water temperature is 66°F, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year.
Thursday the 23rd is a write-off for the morning, with small waves. The afternoon brings a bit more size at 5ft from the S, but the wind picks up to 16 mph from the SW, making for a messy, choppy surface. The energy is getting stronger (480), but the wind is ruining it.
Now, Friday the 24th of July is where it starts to get interesting. The morning has clean 6ft waves from the SSE with a light offshore breeze. The energy is solid (453). The afternoon looks similar, with 5ft waves and light cross-offshore winds. This is a solid, clean option.
But the standout is Saturday morning, the 25th of July. The sky is clear, the wind is glassy, and the swell is a clean 6ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is pumping (513). This is the best on offer – clean, glassy conditions with a decent sized, long-period swell. It’s going to be a fun morning, but this is a beginner-plus spot, so keep that in mind. The swell is over 5ft, so it might be a little much for total beginners.
Sunday the 26th through to Tuesday the 29th is a real rough patch. The wind swings onshore or cross-onshore, the swell drops right off, and the energy fades. It’s a full five days of poor to average conditions, with hardly any decent surf.
We get a brief glimmer on Wednesday the 29th of July with small, clean 3ft waves from the ENE and a light offshore breeze, but the energy is weak (130). Thursday the 30th morning is glassy but tiny (2ft). Then it’s back to onshore slop and small waves until the 2nd of August.
Sunday the 2nd of August finally shows some promise. The morning has clean 5ft waves from the ENE with a light offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (314). The afternoon is still clean but the wind is cross-offshore. It’s a far cry from the Saturday morning stand-out, but it’s the best thing in the second week.
After that, from Monday the 3rd of August onwards, the wind is consistently onshore, the swell is mixed up, and the energy is moderate to strong, but the conditions are junk. The waves are poorly shaped, and it’s mostly a write-off. This stretch is looking more like a kite-surfing set-up than a paddle-surfing one.
To be honest, the only true standout in this whole 16-day window is the Saturday morning of the 25th of July. Get on it while it’s clean.
Rusty.

Information about the Praia do Porto Surf forecast

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. 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.
