The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Atalaia (Molhes) over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, things are pretty quiet. The start of the period is a bit of a wait. We’ve got a long gap of a few days where it’s just not worth paddling out. Through Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th, the wind is messy – cross or cross-onshore – and the swell is tiny and weak (energy only 125 to 293). It’s basically a write-off for a proper surf.

The first real flicker of hope shows up on Sunday morning, September 6th. We get a lumpy 6ft from the south, but the period is short at 7 seconds, and the wind is cross. The energy jumps to a moderate 378, but quality is marginal. It’s not the day to clear your schedule.

Then we hit Monday, September 7th. This is where it gets interesting. The morning sees a solid 7ft SSE swell with a moderate 854 energy. The wind is still cross, but that’s a decent push of power. It’s getting into the size range where beginners should think twice – over 5ft. This is more for the experienced crew.

The real standout, the one I’d circle on the calendar, is Thursday, September 10th. The morning is a beauty. We’ve got a clean 5ft from the east, and the wind is glassy. Absolutely dead calm. That’s the kind of condition that turns an average day into a memorable one. The energy is moderate at 271, and it’s really the wind that makes it. This is your pick of the early period.

Friday, September 11th, also starts out glassy with a 4ft ENE swell (274 energy) – another solid morning session if you can get out early before the onshore kicks in during the afternoon.

Looking further out into the second week, it gets more up and down. Monday, September 14th, the afternoon turns clean with a nice 6ft easterly swell and a cross-offshore breeze. That’s a promising call for the later day. Then Tuesday morning, September 15th, the wind goes offshore straight from the west, with a 6ft easterly swell. Clean conditions and chest-to-head high waves, but remember, anything over 5ft is pushing it for learners.

There’s not much else to shout about after that. The last week fades into smaller, choppier, or cross-shore conditions with weaker energy – mostly under 200 to 300. Saturday the 19th offers a clean but small 4ft morning, just to keep you going.

Best on offer? Thursday morning the 10th for the glassy, clean 5ft east swell. And if you want more size, Monday afternoon the 14th and Tuesday morning the 15th are your best bets for bigger, cleaner waves, though the Tuesday morning offshore wind is a treat.

Stay keen, and remember – forecasts can change, but this is the story right now.

Rusty.
