The Lowdown
Alright, settle in and let’s talk about Atalaia for the next couple of weeks. It’s a real mixed bag, and for the first part of this stretch, it’s looking properly flat. Patience, my friends.
Your one and only real bet is for Saturday, August 15th. A proper pulse of energy arrives with a 6ft swell with a long 16-second period from the SE. That’s a real groundswell with some serious power behind it – the combined energy is strong to very strong (1900). However, the wind is coming from the SE as a cross-onshore, which is going to put a chop on the face. It’ll be powerful but crunchy, maybe one for the experienced crew. The day before, the 14th, sees a moderate (257) swell start to build, but it’s the same story with the cross-onshore wind, making it messy.
Now, for the bulk of the next ten days, it’s slim pickings. We’re talking knee-high dribble. The mornings are your only real chance, when the breeze is light or offshore. Like Sunday the 2nd, there’s a small 4ft ENE swell, but it’s a short-period 7-second windswell with weak energy (141), and the clean morning window is short-lived before the sea breeze kicks in. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday the 5th with a weak 2ft swell, but it just has no push. You’ll be doing more bobbing than surfing. This is a long, quiet stretch, but for a spot like Atalaia (a beach/jetty setup), a run this flat isn’t out of the ordinary.
The water’s sitting at 66°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's not too bad. The swell direction is mostly from the E/ENE, but this break really prefers a more SSE angle, so things are working against us for most of the period. That Saturday swell, though, is from the SE, so it has a much better idea.
So, keep an eye on that 15th, but don't plan anything before that. It’s a waiting game.
