The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the cards for Estaleiro Reef.
This is a tricky stretch ahead. We’ve got a lot of days with swell, but the wind and conditions are going to be the enemy for most of it. Honestly, the first week is a write-off, with poor conditions forecast right through. The best windows are going to come later, and even then, they’re short-lived with a few good sessions to chase.
Estaleiro Reef is an inconsistent reef break that needs a good alignment. The water temp is sitting around 67°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn't come until Tuesday, September 15th, in the morning. We’ll see a 6ft east swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The wind swings to a light southwesterly, giving us a cross-off breeze. That will clean it up nicely. The combined energy is moderate (413). It’s surfable, but with that short period, it won't have much grunt.
Then we’re back to poor form until Saturday, September 19th, in the morning. Now we’re talking. A 5ft east swell with a light northwesterly that’s straight offshore. That is a standout morning. The break should be clean and lined up. Combined energy is moderate (325).
The following day, Sunday, September 20th, keeps that run going. The morning offers a 4ft east swell with light westerly offshore winds, and the afternoon is the same with a lighter WNW offshore. Clean conditions both sessions. Combined energy sits at 250 and 330. This is the clear highlight of the whole outlook.
The last one to note is a bit further out. On Thursday, September 25th, in the afternoon, we get a jump in period to 13 seconds with a 4ft SE swell. That’s proper groundswell energy, and at a reef, that could set up some nice lines. The combined energy is strong (664). However, the wind is onshore from the ENE, so it’s likely to be bumpy and poor. A real shame because the swell is there.
For the rest of the period, it’s mostly onshore winds, short-period slop, and poor quality. Stick to the mornings on the 19th and 20th for the cleanest waves.
Rusty.

Information about the Estaleiro Reef Surf forecast

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.
