The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let me break down what Estaleiro Reef has in store for the next couple of weeks. This reef is a fickle one – it's inconsistent, so when it fires, you've got to be on it. The forecast shows a few clean windows, but plenty of flat or choppy days in between. The best action is definitely in the first week, with a standout morning that has the stars aligned. After that, it fades into small, weak conditions.
We kick off Monday morning, 20 July, with a cloudy sky, offshore WNW wind at 3 mph, and a 4.3 ft swell from the ENE at 8 seconds. It's clean and surfable, with moderate wave energy (204). Not huge, but the reef will be working. That afternoon though, the wind swings cross-shore and it gets messy. Tuesday morning, 21 July, looks similar – clear skies, offshore NW wind at 6 mph, 3.9 ft ENE swell, 8 seconds, clean. Again, moderate energy (178). Then Wednesday afternoon, 22 July, has a brief window of offshore NW wind at 6 mph with 3.3 ft ENE swell, but it's small. Thursday
Short Range ForecastLight rain (total 7mm), mostly falling on Wed afternoon. Warm (max 24°C on Tue morning, min 17°C on Sun night). Wind will be generally light. | Days 5-7 Weather SummaryHeavy rain (total 37mm), heaviest during Fri night. Warm (max 21°C on Sat morning, min 15°C on Fri night).

Information about the Estaleiro Reef Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Estaleiro Reef provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Estaleiro Reef can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Estaleiro Reef surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Estaleiro Reef) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Estaleiro Reef may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
