The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks at Estaleiro Reef.
It's a quiet start, with the reef only really waking up for a couple of stand-out sessions. Water temp is sitting right around normal for the season at 64°F, nothing crazy.
The first session to look at is Sunday morning, July 26th. A small 3ft east-southeast swell with a short 8-second period, giving weak energy (164). The magic is the clean offshore northwest wind. It'll be tiny, but glassy. The spot is inconsistent, so you'll be sitting and waiting, but you'll have the place to yourself.
Monday and Tuesday, the 27th and 28th, are even smaller, dropping to 2ft. Monday morning stays clean with a light offshore, but the energy is barely there (82). Tuesday morning is a little bigger at 3ft but the swell direction shifts to east-northeast with a cross-offshore wind. Surfable, but nothing special.
The first real highlight is Wednesday morning, August 5th. A solid 4ft southeast groundswell with a long 13-second period, packing moderate energy (528). The wind is glassy from the west. This is a reef break, and that long-period groundswell will set up perfectly. Good shape, solid power, but spaced-out sets. It's small enough for a good intermediate.
The big one arrives Thursday morning, August 6th. The swell jumps to 5ft from the southeast, with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy is strong (885). The wind is offshore from the west-northwest, keeping it clean. At over 5ft on a reef, this is expert territory. Expect powerful, lined-up waves.
The following weekend, Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th, the swell drops back to 4ft and 3ft, but it's still a clean, long-period swell from the east-southeast, offering fun, lined-up waves (energy at 377 and 235). A good time to paddle out if you missed the bigger days.
The pick of the bunch is the glassy Wednesday morning with the 4ft groundswell, but the 5ft Thursday session is the real, powerful stand-out for the crew who are ready for 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.
