Table - best surf conditions forecast for Estaleiro Reef over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a slim window of surf on offer, so don’t get too excited. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t kick in until Saturday morning, July 11th.
Before that, Thursday and Friday are a write-off. The swell is small and weak or the wind is just wrong. Patience. It’s not a bad stretch, but you’ll be sitting on the beach.
The standout for the whole period, and it’s not even close, is Estaleiro Reef on Saturday, July 11th. Both the morning and afternoon sessions are looking clean. We’ve got a 3ft east-southeast swell with a 13-second period, which is a nice, long groundswell that will hold up well on the reef. The wind is light and cross-off from the northwest, so the faces will be smooth. The combined energy is moderate but solid (382 in the morning, 387 in the afternoon). This is your best window. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect a wave every minute, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. The water is about 63°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent suit.
Sunday morning, July 12th, is a “maybe.” The swell drops a touch, still 3ft from the ESE, but the wind goes cross-shore from the south, which will put a bit of bump on the surface. The afternoon that day is a total no-go with a strong onshore wind. Monday, July 13th, is also marginal with a short-period, 7-second SSE swell that’s choppy onshore.
The second week stays quiet. The swell sticks around 3ft to 4ft, mostly from the east, with short periods dropping to 8 seconds or less. The mornings are your best bet. Friday, July 17th morning, has a clean 3ft east swell, and Saturday, July 18th and Sunday, July 19th mornings both have a 4ft east-northeast swell with light winds. It’s rideable, but nothing to write home about. The energy stays low, and the short period means the waves won’t have much punch. It’s more of a longboard or funboard kind of deal.
Bottom line: If you can get out Saturday, July 11th, that’s your day. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
