The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking at Atalaia (Molhes) over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some small SE swell rolling in, but the wind is all over the place – onshore and cross-shore – making a mess of things. The combined wave energy is moderate (237 to 279), but it’s just not worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
We do get a little window of hope on Thursday, the 13th of August. The afternoon shows some glassy conditions with a 2ft SE swell, and the period is a very long 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, with a combined energy of 391 (moderate). The wind goes glassy, so the waves will be clean. This is a solid, mellow option for an intermediate surfer.
Then, the real standout arrives on the 19th of August (Wednesday). The morning and afternoon both look great. Swell is a punchy 6ft from the east, with a 10-second period, which is a nice, workable wave. The wind is offshore – WNW – and light, meaning the faces will be clean and lined up. Combined energy is strong (565 to 608). This is the best on offer in the whole outlook. The swell is getting up there, over 5ft, so it’s a bit more for the crew who know what they’re doing, but it’s not out of control. This is your day.
After that, things taper off quickly. The last week of the forecast drops into tiny, weak swell with low energy, barely worth a mention. A few glassy moments on the 22nd of August with 2ft, but the energy is minimal (62). It’s a long stretch of flat-looking conditions to finish the run.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a bust, the second week has one clear winner. Get on the 19th of August if you can.
Rusty.
