The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. We’ve got a slow start to this forecast, but a few proper sessions are hiding in there if you have patience.
The first few days are pretty cooked. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are flat and messy, with 3ft to 4ft of weak ENE and SSE swell getting chopped up by crosswinds. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are similar – poor surf, not worth paddling out. Hold fire.
Tuesday the 15th is your first real call. Atalaia (Molhes) pulls together a clean morning with 6ft of E swell, 9 seconds, and a light offshore SSW breeze that’ll have it looking proper. The combined energy sits at 547 (moderate). This is the strongest, cleanest swell of the first week. The afternoon goes a bit cross-on, so get in early. Wednesday the 16th is average again, but then Thursday the 17th morning serves up a glassy, long-period SE swell at 3ft with 14 seconds between waves – that’s going to produce some long, clean walls at the jetty. Combined energy is 394 (moderate). Perfect for a mid-length.
Saturday the 19th is another standout. Glassy conditions in the morning with 5ft of ENE swell, 8 seconds, and combined energy of 345 (moderate). The offshore breeze overnight will leave it clean and punchy through the first part of the day. Sunday the 20th afternoon is also looking clean with 5ft of swell, but the Saturday morning is the pick.
From Monday the 21st it drops off again into small, ordinary surf. The last interesting moment is Friday the 25th early morning – a clean, moderate offshore wind from the WSW with a long-period SE groundswell at 2ft and 14 seconds. Combined energy is 243 (weak to moderate). It’s small, but offshore and glassy with long lines – a sleeper session for the patient.
Bottom line: Tuesday the 15th morning is your best bet for size and clean conditions. Thursday the 17th and Saturday the 19th mornings are also top shelf for glassy, clean waves. Don't expect much else until the final Friday which could surprise on a small, perfect day.
