The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet for those who think that way.
We’re looking at a pretty mellow stretch for Estaleiro Reef over the next couple of weeks. The first ten days are mostly small, ankle-to-waist high stuff, with a few windows of clean conditions. Then there’s a nice pulse in early August before it drops off again.
Starting Monday the 27th of July through the end of the month and into early August, the waves are around 2 ft from the ESE and ENE, with a short period of 6-8 seconds. The energy is low—most readings between 61 and 96 (combined energy). Best of this early period is Wednesday morning, July 29th, with clear-ish skies and a light offshore NW wind, making for clean 3 ft surf. Also, Thursday morning, July 30th, is glassy with light rain—0.7m (about 2 ft) from the ENE and no wind at all. That’s a real gem for small-wave surfing, but the break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets.
The highlight comes on Wednesday, August 5th. Swell builds to 1.2m (around 4 ft) from the SE, period at 10 seconds, and energy jumps to 348 (moderate). Offshore NW wind in the morning will keep it clean. That’s chest-high, with some real push, and the swell direction (SE) is right in the break’s sweet spot (ESE). This is the session to aim for. It’s not huge, but it’s the most consistent and best-shaped wave of the whole forecast.
After that, it fades fast. Thursday the 6th gets choppy with cross-onshore wind. Friday the 7th has a longer period (12-13 seconds) but the wind is messy. From Sunday the 9th onward, it’s flat—less than 1 ft and barely any energy. That gap lasts several days, right through the 11th.
Water temp is average for the season. No big changes.
So, for the whole run: the standout is Wednesday morning, August 5th. Clean 4 ft SE swell with offshore wind. That’s your day. The Thursday morning glass before that is a close second. The rest is small and inconsistent. Hang in there, mate.
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.
