Table - best surf conditions forecast for Atalaia (Molhes) over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Atalaia. We’ve got a stretch of small, clean surf coming up, but it’s going to take a few days to really get going. The first half of the week is pretty ordinary, but don’t write it off just yet.
The real standout here is the weekend of the 11th and 12th of July. Saturday morning, the 11th, we’re looking at a 4ft swell from the ESE with a 13-second period, and the wind is glassy. That’s about as good as it gets around here. The wave energy is solid, sitting at 522 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. Saturday afternoon stays glassy, and Sunday morning the 12th is clean with a cross-off breeze, 3ft from the ESE at 12 seconds. That’s your best bet for the whole forecast.
Monday morning the 13th jumps up to 6ft from the SSE, but with a short 7-second period, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and messy. That kind of size is pushing it for beginners, too. The afternoon turns poor with a cross-on wind.
After that, it’s a long run of small, clean mornings but with very ordinary surf. The swell drops back to under 3ft for most of the second week. The mornings are often glassy or cross-off, but the wave energy is weak, mostly under 200. The 17th of July morning has a bit more punch at 4ft from the E, but it’s still just a small, clean morning session. Nothing special.
The water temperature doesn’t have any anomaly noted, so it’s about average for the time of year.
So, bottom line: do your best to get out on Saturday the 11th or Sunday the 12th. That’s where the good stuff is. The rest is for the die-hards or for a longboard on a glassy morning.
