Table - best surf conditions forecast for Estaleiro Reef over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. We’ve got a slow start, but once Estaleiro Reef gets going, it’ll have some sweet moments. This reef break is a fickle one—it only breaks now and again, so you gotta be on it. The first few days are dead, but from Saturday, 11 July, things start looking up, and there’s a clear standout mid-week that’s worth the wait.
The first decent surf shows up Saturday morning, 11 July, with a 4ft swell from the ESE at 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, giving the waves some grunt, and the morning and afternoon are clean with light cross-offshore winds. Crowds are a real thing here—it can get packed, so expect some company. The water’s at 63°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a thicker wetsuit.
The real standout is Tuesday, 14 July. Tuesday morning is glassy with a 5ft ESE swell and 10-second period, but the afternoon is the pick: glassy conditions, a 5ft ESE swell at 11 seconds, and combined energy pumping at 533 (moderate wave energy). That’s a clean, solid afternoon session. Wednesday morning, 15 July, is another cracker—offshore wind from the WNW, 5ft ESE swell at 11 seconds, and combined energy of 604 (moderate wave energy). That’s the best on offer: clean, decent size, and the reef will be linking up nicely. Just keep in mind, with the swell over 5ft, it’s not for beginners—intermediate and up only.
After Wednesday afternoon, the swell drops and the period shortens. The second week sees a shift to a shorter-period ENE swell, mostly around 8 seconds. The mornings from Thursday, 16 July through to Monday, 20 July still offer clean, cross-off or offshore conditions with 3ft to 4ft surf, but the energy is weaker. The standout from this later stretch is Monday morning, 20 July—offshore wind, 4ft ENE swell at 8 seconds, and combined energy of 209 (weak wave energy). It’s surfable, but nothing special. From 21 July onward, it winds down into small, weak waves and poor conditions, so your window is really the first week.
Overall, the best bet is Wednesday morning, 15 July, with Tuesday afternoon, 14 July, a close second. Don’t sleep on the Saturday, 11 July sessions either—they’ll be clean and fun. Just remember, Estaleiro Reef is inconsistent, so when it’s on, you gotta go.
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.
