The Lowdown

Right, mate, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow start here, but don't write it off just yet.

The first proper surf we can talk about is a small window that shows up on Saturday morning, August 8th. We're looking at Estaleiro Reef. It's a reef break, best for intermediate surfers, and it's a spot that's inconsistent, so you've gotta be patient. The swell coming in from the southeast is offering up a tiny 2ft, but the period is a solid 15 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 239, and the water temp is sitting at 67°, which is about normal for this time of year. The wind is light and cross from the north-northeast at 6 mph, so it's a little messy, but it's not a total write-off. The afternoon shapes up a bit better with a slightly cleaner cross-offshore breeze and a touch more size at 2ft.

Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are a write-off. The wind swings around to the south-southeast at 12 mph, making it choppy and cross-on, and the swell climbs to 4ft with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 523 and 504, but with that wind, it's just a messy, blown-out mess. Not worth paddling out for.

The next flicker of hope comes on Thursday morning, August 13th. The wind goes offshore from the northwest at just 6 mph, making for clean conditions. The swell is small again, 2ft from the southeast, but with that long 15-second period, there's some energy in the water (combined energy 235). It's tiny, but clean.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From the 14th through to the 19th, conditions are consistently poor. The wind is either onshore, cross-on, or just too strong, and the swell is a mix of weak, short-period junk. There's a brief moment on Saturday the 15th with glassy conditions and 3ft from the southeast, but the period drops to 8-9 seconds and the combined energy is weak. It's surfable, but only just.

The real standout, and the best bet of the whole outlook, is shaping up for Friday, August 21st. The swell is from the east-northeast at 3-3ft, and the wind is forecast to be offshore from the west, 6-12 mph. That's clean. The period is short at 7 seconds, but the combined energy is moderate (120-129). For this spot, given the conditions, that's your best window. It's not huge, but it'll be clean and rideable.

The very end of the outlook, on Sunday, August 23rd, shows a tiny 2ft from the southeast with glassy conditions. It's a weak finish, but at least the water is flat.

So, to be honest, the pick of the bunch is Friday the 21st. Get on it for a clean, small-wave session. The rest of the window is either too windy, too small, or just plain messy.

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.
