The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down this stretch. Don’t get your hopes up too high for a while, because it’s looking like a long, flat spell for the most part.
We’re looking at Estaleiro Reef. This is a reef break, and it’s known for being inconsistent, so it doesn’t turn on very often. Water temp is right around 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Right out of the gate, Saturday the 25th, we get a small 3-foot swell from the ESE with a 9-second period. The morning has clean offshore WNW winds at 3 mph, but the wave energy is weak, and the surf is just ordinary. That afternoon the wind turns nasty.
Sunday the 26th is more of the same – 3-foot swell, 8-second period. Clean in the morning with a light offshore breeze at 6 mph, but it’s still just not any good.
Then we hit a real desert. From Monday the 27th all the way through the weekend of the 2nd of August, the swell drops off a cliff. We’re seeing waves under 2 feet, with combined energy levels often below 100. There are a lot of poor to terrible conditions with onshore or side-shore winds. For a spot that doesn’t break often, this is a long, blank period.
Now, I see something on the horizon. On Monday the 3rd of August, the morning session is the one to circle. The wave energy jumps up to 387, which is a solid moderate level. The swell is only 2 feet, but it’s coming from the SE with a very long 13-second period. That’s real groundswell, and for a reef break, that’s a beautiful thing. The wind is glassy – dead calm. This could offer some super clean, lined-up waves, even if they’re on the smaller side. It’s perfect for a longboard. Just remember, we’re looking at over a week out, so it’s a promising tease.
After that, the 4th through the 9th of August stays pretty bland. Some clean mornings, but the swell stays short-period and weak.
If you’re into kitesurfing, those windy, choppy afternoons at the end of July might be worth a look, but for a surfer with a paddle, it’s all about that Monday the 3rd.

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.
