Hi Im finally going on my first camino and since having only short break i am starting from Tui.
The thing is Im arriving in Porto almost midnight so i am staying at airport hotel then move to Tui next day.

The bus from porto airport will get me to Tui at noon and i was going to start right away heading Porrino which is approx. 16km (alternative route). Is noon time going to be too late to start? Should I stay in tui for the day and start early next morning? Its goinna be end of sept. Will i be walking in dark if start at around noon? I walk normal speed.

You can do it .No problem .It won' t be dark.
Alternative route is following the river I think you meant. Yes it is the best option.

Another option is take the Metro into Porto Campanha takes about 35- 40 mins then train to Valenca One train leaves at 08.13hrs and arrives Valenca 09.54hrs.
A gentle walk over the bridge and you are on your way.

I think you will be fine go fo it. The the finish is easy along the river and the muni albergue is right before Porrino.
