The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's look at what's cookin' for Atalaia (Molhes) over the next 16 days. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with some definite windows if you pick your moments. The water's sitting at a nice 68°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – no need for the thickest wetsuit.
The first half of this week is pretty quiet. Monday the 7th starts with some hope, but the swell is only about 5ft out of the SSE with moderate 636 units of energy, and while it's clean, it's not exactly cranking.
We get a few small windows. Wednesday the 9th morning has a small 4ft E swell with 223 units of energy, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so don't expect much push. Thursday the 10th morning is flat and glassy with a tiny 3ft E swell, but then Thursday afternoon things get weird – a tiny 2ft swell with a very long 15-second period out of the SSE, and 362 units of energy. Glassy conditions, but it's gonna be tiny and lined-up; more for a longboard than a shortboard at a beach setup.
The real standout is Wednesday the 16th morning. That's the one to circle. We've got a clean, 5ft S swell with 686 units of energy, and it's glassy. That's gonna be the best shape and quality on offer for a good stretch, no doubt about it.
Then we have a bit of a lull through the middle of the month, with a lot of poor conditions and onshore wind.
The second week holds one more standout. Sunday the 20th is looking promising – a solid 7ft ENE swell with 791 to 813 units of energy, and it's clean with a cross-off breeze from the NNW all day. That's a fair bit of size for the average punter, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that's the pick of the whole forecast. Just keep in mind the period is short (7 to 8 seconds), so it'll be a bit bumpy and sectiony, not the clean walled-up lines of a long-period groundswell.
We wrap up Tuesday the 22nd morning with another clean window – 6ft ENE swell with 631 units of energy and a cross-off breeze, so there's a chance for a few more before the window closes.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is Wednesday the 16th morning for the cleanest conditions and a decent 5ft swell. For those who want a bit more juice, Sunday the 20th is the call, but it’s more of an intermediate-to-expert day at that size.
Rusty.
