The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag at Atalaia (Molhes), with a few windows of clean surf but also plenty of time where the wind just ruins it.
Right now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance to get wet is Thursday morning, 3 September. That morning, the swell is a clean 4ft from the ESE, with a nice 11-second period and a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 9 mph. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year – nothing too wild, just a touch warmer than normal. The wave energy is moderate (363). It’s a fairly short window though, because by the afternoon the wind swings onshore and the surf turns to chop.
The real standout here is Tuesday morning, 8 September. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SSE, with a 10-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the south at 9 mph. The wave energy is strong (834), and the conditions are set to be clean. That’s the best morning of the whole outlook – intermediate surfers will be loving it. Keep in mind, the swell is pushing 6ft, so it’s getting a bit too much for total beginners.
After that, things get messy again until Friday morning, 11 September. That morning brings another good one: 7ft from the ENE, with a 10-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 6 mph. The wave energy is strong (840). That’s a solid swell, but at 7ft it’s getting into expert territory – take your big board and your wits. The afternoon kicks up a cross-on wind, so make sure you get out early.
There’s a gap from the 12th through the 16th where the wind stays onshore or cross-shore, the swell drops, and the conditions are just ordinary. A few mornings might be surfable, but nothing that’s going to get your heart racing.
So, to wrap it up: the best sessions are Thursday morning 3 September for a clean, fun-sized wave, and the absolute standout is Tuesday morning 8 September. Friday morning 11 September is a good one if you’re up for a bigger, more powerful wave. Get out there early, because the wind turns on you every afternoon.
Rusty.
