The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Atalaia (Molhes) for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's not a home run period. We've got a few sessions where it all comes together, but don't expect anything epic. The first decent look is Monday morning, July 27th. The waves are tiny, about 2ft from the ESE, but the wind is the real win. That light NW breeze at 3 mph is a clean cross-off, making those small waves look way better than they are. The water is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year.
Tuesday morning, July 28th, is a little better. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NE, and again that NW cross-off wind is a treat. The combined energy is moderate (113), so there's a bit more grunt. This is your best bet for the early week.
Then things get quiet. Wednesday morning, July 29th, is glassy – wind dead calm – but the swell is only 2ft from the ENE. It's surfable, but that's about it. From Thursday the 30th through Saturday August 1st, it's pretty poor with small, weak swell and onshore winds. That's a solid three-day stretch where you're better off working on your tan.
The outlook picks up on Sunday morning, August 2nd. We've got 3ft from the east with a clean cross-offshore wind from the NW. The energy is moderate (114) and the waves are rideable. Monday August 3rd and Tuesday August 4th mornings are similar, though Tuesday morning goes glassy, which is a real bonus.
Now, here's the one to circle. Tuesday morning, August 4th. The swell is a solid 3ft from the east, but the glassy conditions are the star of the show. The combined energy hits 152, the highest in the whole forecast, so there's some proper power. With the wind flat calm, it's going to be smooth and clean. Atalaia (Molhes) is a fairly consistent spot, so you can bank on it.
After that, the energy fades. The afternoon of August 6th has some size (3ft) but that SE wind is howling at 12 mph, turning it into a messy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out. The morning of Friday August 7th is glassy but tiny at 2ft. The final days from August 9th to the 11th have small, clean windows but nothing to get excited about.
The real standout is Tuesday morning, August 4th. Glassy, 3ft from the east, and that moderate energy. That's your session.
Rusty.
