The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been watching the charts for Atalaia (Molhes) for the next couple of weeks. Let’s get into it.
The outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some small windows of clean conditions if you’re happy with smaller waves. The water temp is sitting right around 65°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick off this Friday, the 24th of July, with a glassy morning. The swell is coming in from the southeast at 4ft, with a period of 10 seconds, giving us a moderate 237 of combined energy. It’s small, but that glassy wind from the WSW makes it look clean. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it goes flat and messy.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are similar stories: small, clean mornings with a bit of cross-offshore wind but the swell is tiny, dropping to 3ft by Sunday with a short 8-second period, so the energy is weak (combined energy of 160). The mornings are the only time to look at it.
From Monday the 27th through to the end of July, the swell drops right off and the combined energy falls below 100 for most of the week. The waves are small and weak, and the wind is often cross-on or onshore, so it’s not really worth the paddle.
There’s a slight uptick in early August. On Monday the 3rd of August, the morning looks clean with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, and the swell picks up a bit to 3ft from the ENE with an 8-second period, giving us a moderate 152 of combined energy. That’s the best looking session in the whole run, but it’s still very ordinary.
The true standout of the whole forecast is the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. The wind is completely glassy, calm as can be. Swell is 3ft from the ENE with a 7-second period, combined energy at 141. It’s small, but the conditions will be absolutely perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The offshore direction is correct for the break, and the crowd factor is “sometimes” so you might have a few others out, but it’s worth showing up early.
Friday the 7th of August morning is also glassy with similar size, so that’s another solid option.
Overall, don’t expect any huge days. The best waves are in the first week of August, but they’re small. If you’re a beginner, you’ll be fine with the size. If you’re an expert, you’ll be bored. The gaps between decent sessions are a couple of days at a time, so pick your mornings carefully.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
