The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. It's Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on what's happening at Atalaia over the next couple of weeks.
To be real with you, the next few days are pretty flat. The first time you'll want to even think about paddling out is Sunday the 20th. That's the standout in this whole forecast.
Sunday the 20th is the one to pencil in. We’ve got a clean morning with light offshore winds from the NNW hitting the beach/jetty setup here. Swell is pushing 6ft out of the ENE with a combined energy of (708). That's a proper pulse of energy, but remember, this spot is fairly exposed, and that size gets into the expert-only territory. The clean conditions should make for some powerful, thumping walls. If you’re not comfortable in solid surf, sit this one out.
Right after that, Monday the 21st is still very good. The morning is clean again with a light WNW offshore wind. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the ENE, but the energy is still solid (391). This is a more manageable size for a strong intermediate, and those clean offshore conditions mean you’ll be getting some nice, open faces.
There’s a big lull after that. The next time you might see a wave worth surfing is Saturday the 27th. The morning on the 27th has a clean look with a cross-off wind, but the swell has dropped right back to 3ft from the E, with weak energy (161). It's just small and ordinary. After Monday the 21st, it's a long wait for pretty average conditions.
Overall, don't hold your breath for the first week unless you're waiting for that big Sunday-Monday window. The second week looks pretty quiet, so get your fix in on the 20th and 21st.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
