The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s shaking for the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, so don’t rush for the wax just yet. The real action, and the standout window, is locked in for the second week, especially around the 18th and 19th of August.
We start off with a long, quiet gap. From the 7th right through to the 12th of August, it’s mostly small, messy, and cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is about 1° above normal for this time of year, so nothing crazy, just a touch warmer than average.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. Atalaia (Molhes) sees a clean, 3ft swell from the SE with a 13-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and the combined energy is moderate (356). It’s surfable and clean, but nothing to write home about.
Things start to build on the 18th of August. This is the one. Tuesday the 18th, morning and afternoon, is the pick of the whole outlook. We’re looking at 10ft of east swell with a 10-second period, gentle offshore wind from the west, and the energy is strong (1545 in the morning, 1979 in the afternoon). The wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That’s over 8ft, so beginners, stay on the beach. The offshore wind will keep it clean and lined up. This is a groundswell, and with a period of 10 seconds, it’s got some push but won’t be too straight for the beach break here. It’s going to be a proper session for the crew who know what they’re doing.
The 19th of August is still very good, with 8ft to 7ft east swell, still offshore and clean, energy in the 1100-1200 range. The 20th of August morning holds 6ft east swell with light offshore wind, but the afternoon gets wrecked by a cross-onshore breeze. The 21st and 22nd of August have smaller, cleaner windows but nothing that compares to the 18th and 19th.
Standout: Tuesday the 18th of August. Big east swell, clean offshore wind, and plenty of energy. That’s the one you want to circle on the calendar. The 19th is a close second. The rest is just waiting for the tide and the wind to play ball.
