Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us around Estaleiro Reef.

It's a bit of a slow start, but there are some proper windows of fun surf on the horizon. The water is sitting at 64°, which is about two degrees colder than we’d expect for this time of year, so you might want a slightly thicker wetsuit.

We kick things off on Sunday the 5th. It's small, with 3ft of swell. The wind is light and cross-off from the North though, which will keep things tidy. The combined energy is only moderate at 201, so it's not a day to get too excited, but it’s a start.

Monday the 6th is pretty ordinary with the same small swell, so don't bother.

The first real standout arrives on Tuesday morning the 7th. We see a jump to 6ft from the SSE with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind goes glassy from the SSW, and the combined energy jumps to a solid 622, which is a strong increase. This is going to create some punchy, clean waves. That size is still fine for most, but it might have a bit of power for beginners. This is the pick of the first week.

After that, we're into a bit of a lull. Wednesday and Thursday are surfable but very ordinary with small clean waves under 3ft. The energy drops right off to 80-120. It will be flat through Friday the 10th, so don't even bother.

Now for the second week, things get much more interesting.

Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th see a new groundswell filling in. Expect 3ft from the ESE with a very long 13-second period. The combined energy is strong, around 375-393, and glassy conditions on Saturday will make for some gorgeous, clean lines. This long period swell will be best on this reef setup, rather than a beach break. However, with this spot being inconsistent, make sure you pick your window.

Then the real power shows up. Tuesday the 14th through Thursday the 16th looks like the best stretch of the entire outlook. On Tuesday morning, we have 4ft swell from the SE with a 13-second period, and the energy surges to 520. The wind is a clean offshore from the West. Wednesday morning and Thursday morning are even bigger, with 5ft swell, a very long 13-second period and a colossal combined energy of 888-894. The wind stays clean and cross-off to offshore. This is big, powerful groundswell, so it will be best for experienced surfers. The wave direction is a near-perfect match for this spot's optimum ESE direction, which is a huge plus. It’s shaping up to be an epic run.

Things taper off a bit from Friday the 17th onwards, with cleaner but smaller 3ft to 4ft waves to wrap up the outlook, but nothing that really matches that mid-week session.

So, to sum it up: the first few days are a slow start, but don't sleep on Tuesday morning the 7th for a fun little session. The real epic window, however, is from Tuesday the 14th to Thursday the 16th – that's where you want to be. Keep an eye on the forecast, as that long-range call is promising but let's see how it firms up.

Stay stoked.

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.
