The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the chatter and get into what’s actually happening at Estaleiro Reef for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, the outlook is a real mixed bag. We’ve got a nice little window coming up right away, but then it’s a long, drawn-out stretch of weak, messy conditions before a potential pulse of energy shows up in the second week.
The standout session is hands down this Friday morning, the 24th. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the SE with a solid 10-second period. The wind is glassy, dead calm from the SSW at 3 mph, so the reef will be looking like a mirror. The combined energy is moderate (237), and with the swell coming from the ESE optimum direction, the reef should be set up for some proper, lined-up waves. This is the best on offer, no question.
The rest of the weekend and into next week is a bit of a grind. Saturday morning the 25th has clean 3ft waves from the ESE with light offshore NW wind at 3 mph, but the energy is a notch lower (194). Sunday morning the 26th is similar – 3ft from the ESE with offshore NW wind, but the period drops to 8 seconds and the energy is weaker (168). It’s surfable, but it’s not going to get the heart pumping. From Monday the 27th through to the 3rd of August, we hit a real flat spell. The swell drops to knee-to-waist high at best, with combined energy values often below 100 or barely scraping into the low triple digits. Winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, so you’ll be hunting for a corner that’s clean. There’s a long gap of several days with very little to recommend.
Now, look ahead to the 5th of August. That Wednesday morning shows a spike in the numbers. The swell jumps to 5ft from the S, with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 709 – that’s strong wave energy. However, the wind is a cross-shore from the NE at 9 mph, and the forecast is calling it “marginal.” It’s promising, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as a hopeful possibility rather than a solid booking. The following days fade back into the ordinary.
This is a spot that can be inconsistent, and this forecast shows exactly that. Friday morning is your one clear shot. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no major anomalies to report.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
