Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Estaleiro Reef.

First up, the water’s sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – a good couple degrees off, so you’ll wanna grab the thicker rubber if you’re paddling out here at the reef. This spot is an inconsistent reef break, intermediate level, so when it fires, it’s a proper little gem, but you gotta pick your moments.

For the first solid window, we’re looking at Friday the 3rd of July. It’s a bit of a funny one – there’s a 7ft S swell rolling in, with strong energy (1198) but it’s actually predicted to be too big for this break. So despite the numbers, I’d give that a miss. It’s messy.

The real standout kicks off Saturday the 4th of July morning. The swell drops right back to a clean 3ft from the SE with a lovely 12-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and with only 3 mph SW winds blowing cross-offshore, those waves will be holding up clean. The wind is slight, and the energy is moderate (266). This is the best of the early window – a small, tidy, glassy reef wave.

Sunday morning the 5th of July is nearly as good. Still at 3ft from the SE, but now it’s glassy – 3 mph WNW, dead offshore. That’s a rare thing for a reef. The period drops slightly to 11 seconds, but still solid. It’ll be clean and fun-sized.

We hit a bit of a lull through the middle of the week – consistent but very ordinary surf from Monday through Thursday, with small S and ESE swells and cross-off or onshore breezes. Nothing to get excited about, just knee-to-waist high slop.

Come Saturday the 11th of July afternoon, we’re back in business. The swell picks up to 4ft from the ESE, period stretching to 13 seconds (a real groundswell), and energy climbing to strong (528). Winds are 9 mph from the north, cross-offshore, keeping it clean. That’s a beautiful setup for the reef – long lines, decent push, and not too big.

Sunday the 12th of July morning: similar story – 4ft ESE, 13-second period, cross-off NNW winds at 9 mph, energy up at 614. This is the second standout session. The reef will be handling that nicely, with longer gaps between sets making the paddle out a bit easier.

The following week sees a return to smaller, cleaner mornings on Monday 13th (3ft, W offshore 3 mph) and Tuesday 14th (3ft, glassy with NNE 3 mph). Both are solid options but not as punchy as that weekend swell.

Then we’ve got a dry spell through the middle of the second week – Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th are weak and messy, with tiny swell and onshore winds. Not worth the drive.

The run home from Friday the 17th of July morning kicks off again: 4ft from the east, but short period at 7 seconds. That’s a windswell. However, it’s glassy, both morning and afternoon, which is rare. Energy is moderate (255-329). It won’t be the best shape because the period is short, but if you just want clean little waves with no crowd, that’s your window.

Bottom line: the absolute best on offer is Saturday the 11th of July afternoon and Sunday the 12th of July morning. That’s when Estaleiro Reef will be at its prime – clean, cross-off, proper groundswell, and not too big. Don’t miss it.

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.
