The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get straight into it for Atalaia (Molhes).
We’re looking at a pretty quiet start. The first few days through the end of July are offering small, lackluster waves. Swell energy is weak, mostly under 100 (59-78), with tiny 1ft to 2ft ESE and ENE windswell. Short periods around 5-7 seconds too, so nothing with any punch. Mornings are the cleanest windows with light offshores or glassy conditions, but the wave size just isn’t there to get excited about. Monday the 28th morning has that glassy feel with a 2ft ENE swell, but it’s barely surfable. A few spots in the afternoons are junk with onshores and poor shape. This stretch is really only for those desperate for a tiny, clean log session.
We finally start seeing some life come Monday the 3rd of August. Monday morning brings a nice spike in energy (296) with a 2ft SSE swell at a long 13-second period. That's a proper groundswell pulse. Winds are light WNW offshore, making for clean conditions. This is the standout of the early part of the window – small but with real quality and shape.
Then Tuesday the 4th of August morning keeps the trend going. Another good session with a similar ESE swell (4ft, 9 seconds) and clean offshore SSW breeze. Energy is decent at 353.
The best true standout looks to be Wednesday the 5th of August. The afternoon session is glassy with a 6ft E swell and 9-second period. Energy levels crank up to a strong 511. This is the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole outlook. The size is definitely pushing into intermediate territory, it’s not for beginners. But for anyone comfortable in that range, that afternoon glass-off is as good as it gets on the forecast.
The rest of the second week settles into smaller, less consistent energy, but the mornings on the 6th, 7th, and 9th of August still offer some fun, clean windows with 4ft to 5ft E swell. The water temp is sitting around 65°F, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so nothing unusual with that.
Overall, the first week is a write-off. The real action is from the 3rd to the 9th of August, with the 5th afternoon being the absolute must-paddle session. Don’t sleep on that one.
Rusty.
