The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
Honestly, this stretch is pretty flat. Swell’s running between 1ft and 3ft, with combined energy mostly in the weak to moderate range – numbers from 47 up to 205. Not much to get excited about. Water temp is 65°F, right on the average for this time of year, so no thermal surprises.
The best of a quiet bunch is Saturday morning, July 25th, at Atalaia (Molhes). You’ve got a clean, glassy surface with a light WNW offshore breeze at 3 mph. Swell is 3ft out of the SE with a 9-second period, and combined energy sitting at 163. It’s not a classic, but it’s the cleanest wave you’ll see. Small, but fun for an intermediate on a longboard.
Sunday, July 26th, is also half-decent in the morning. A light NW breeze at 6 mph with cross-off conditions. Swell drops to 3ft from the ESE, energy 155. Ridable, but you’ll be scratching for ‘em.
Then comes a long, flat gap. From Monday, July 27th, right through to Thursday, August 6th, it’s a wasteland. Tiny, weak, or onshore. The one exception is Monday morning, August 3rd – glassy 3ft NE swell with 124 energy. But it’s more of a “wet the suit” session than anything with a pulse.
The only real standout is a week and a half out – Friday morning, August 7th. The swell bumps to 3ft from the SE, period goes to 10 seconds, and the combined energy spikes to 205 – the highest in the whole run. Winds are light offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. Don’t bank on it yet, but that’s the one to keep an eye on.
So, short story: a couple of clean small days now, a long stretch of nothing, then a hopeful little pulse on August 7th. Keep your hopes low and your board waxed.
Rusty.
