The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a write-off, honestly. We’ve got a messy mix of wind and small, weak energy, so don’t even bother paddling out until Monday the 7th. That’s when things start to look a little more interesting.
Monday morning, the 7th, we’ve got a clean pulse from the S at 5ft, with a 10-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore, making for clean conditions. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The energy is moderate (551), but the quality is good. This is your best bet for the first week—a solid, clean wave at Atalaia (Molhes) for the intermediate crew.
After that, Tuesday the 8th has a quick, 4ft wave from the E with a short period, but the wind is offshore and clean. It’s a sessionable wave, nothing special, but you won’t be fighting the chop.
Wednesday the 9th morning is another clean one, with a 5ft ENE swell and light cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (418) and the conditions are good, but the swell direction is a bit of a mismatch for the optimum SSE direction. It’ll still be a fun session.
The real standout, though, is Sunday the 13th. We’ve got a 8ft SE groundswell rolling in with an 11-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. The energy is strong (1228). This is a proper swell, but it’s a big one. At 8ft, it’s getting into expert territory, so keep that in mind. The morning is the window. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the SSE at 12 mph and it gets messy. So, dawn patrol is the move.
Monday the 14th still has some size, 7ft from the ESE, but the wind is cross and there’s a bit of chop. It’s a step down from Sunday, but still fun for the experienced.
From the 15th, the swell drops and the energy fades. Tuesday the 15th morning has a clean 5ft wave from the ESE with a long 11-second period and offshore wind, but it’s a shadow of the weekend. The second week is pretty quiet, with a few small, clean windows but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The 19th has a glassy morning with 4ft from the E, but it’s weak.
All in all, the first week is a slow burn, but Monday the 7th and Sunday the 13th are your two standout days. If you’re an expert, Sunday the 13th is the one to circle. For everyone else, Monday the 7th is the cleanest, most accessible wave of the run.
Rusty.
