Alright, Rusty here again, but we’ll do this in feet and miles per hour.

We're looking at Estaleiro Reef, an exposed reef that only breaks *inconsistently*, so you've gotta be on your toes and pick the right hour. The water's sitting around 64°F, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year, so you'll want a proper suit.

The first few days are mostly a bust. Thursday the 2nd and Friday the 3rd are messy and onshore – no good. Saturday the 4th morning is still marginal, but that afternoon is a little glassy gem with a 3ft SE swell (13-second period, a nice long groundswell) and combined energy at 229. That's clean and quiet. Sunday the 5th stays that way – glassy morning, clean afternoon, 3ft SE swell, 265 energy. For a place that doesn't break often, two days of glass is a steal. Crowds are sometimes, but it might feel empty.

Monday the 6th through the rest of the first week is a write-off – small and choppy. Then Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th of July bring back hope: clean, offshore winds with a 3ft to 3ft SE swell, 11-12 seconds, energy climbing over 300. That's a proper reef wave.

Now, the big news. Tuesday morning the 14th is a standout: 5ft of SE swell at 11 seconds, 444 energy, and clean. That's a chunky wave for an intermediate setup. But the real glory is Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th. Wednesday morning gives you 4ft, 12-second SE swell, 532 energy, and clean. Thursday morning has 4ft, 13-second SE swell, 608 energy, with offshore WNW wind. That's as good as it gets – long period groundswell with that much push and zero wind. On a reef like this, that’s a proper session with shape and power.

The final weekend, the 17th, is still clean and surfable but the energy is dropping off.

If you can hold out, that second week of July is the real deal. I’d be on the reef for Wednesday or Thursday morning without a second thought. For an inconsistent spot, this is a gift.

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.
