The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks at Atalaia. I’m gonna be honest – it’s a slow cooker. There’s a real dry spell at the start, about a week with nothing worth your time, before we finally see a pulse.
The best of the whole run is pointing straight at Monday, August 10th, and the morning is the clear winner. We’ve got a clean 3ft groundswell from the SE with a 12-second period, and the wind is dead flat – glassy as a mirror. The combined energy is moderate (346). That’s the session. Atalaia (Molhes) on a long-period south-east swell with no wind is gonna be pure gold for intermediates.
After that high point, the rest of the fortnight is pretty forgettable. Tuesday morning, August 11th, has another go with glassy conditions and a 3ft SE swell, but the period stretches to 14 seconds. That long period can make the waves a little too straight at a beach setup, so be ready for the sets to wall up. Energy is still moderate (311), but it won’t have the same juice.
Towards the end, around Sunday, August 16th, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the east, but it’s junked up by onshore winds and rain. Don’t even bother.
Water temp is about average for the season, no surprises there.
Bottom line: if you’ve got one window to paddle out, it’s Monday, August 10th, first light. Everything else is a whole lot of nothing.
Rusty.
