The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at what’s on the table for the coming weeks. Let’s get into it.
First up, the outlook is a bit of a slow burner. We’ve got a real gap at the start here – nothing worth paddling out for on the 31st of July or the 1st of August. The swell is tiny and the wind is all over the shop. You’ll be waiting a few days for anything remotely interesting.
The first real glimmer comes on Saturday morning, the 2nd of August. Estaleiro Reef (Estaleiro-Reef) will see a small 4 ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the W at just 3 mph. That’ll keep the surface clean. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s surfable. The combined wave energy is moderate at 145. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, sitting around 66°.
The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Tuesday the 11th of August. We’ve got a nice 3 ft groundswell from the SE, with a long period of 13 seconds, wrapping in nicely. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW, light at 3-6 mph. This reef will handle the long period well, giving you some proper shape. The combined energy is strong at 288, and conditions are expected to be good. This is easily the best session on offer.
Following that, Thursday the 13th of August is another solid shout. The swell drops a touch to 2 ft, but the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds. The wind goes dead calm – glassy conditions – in the morning. That’s a magical window. The energy is still strong at 214. This is a true sneaky gem for a longboard or a mid-length.
Later in the window, Friday the 14th of August sees the swell pick up to 4 ft from the SE, but the period drops to 11 seconds. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNE. It’s a bit marginal, but could be alright if you’re keen. The energy is strong at 283.
The very end of the outlook, Saturday the 15th of August, shows a bump in size to 5 ft from the SSE, but the wind is onshore and strong at 16 mph, making it choppy and messy. That one’s best left alone.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off, then the 11th and 13th of August are your standouts. Don’t sleep on that glassy morning on the 13th.
Rusty.

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.
