The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breakin’ it down in feet and knots for ya.
First week is where the magic is. Thursday, August 27th, rolls in with a clean 3ft swell from the SE, proper long 14-second period. That’s some real deep-water energy, 421 in the combined department – moderate to strong stuff. Light cross-offshore wind out of the NW, so the waves are gonna look near perfect. Water temp is 66°F, right where it should be for this time of year.
Friday morning (August 28th) holds okay. Swell bumps to 4ft from the ENE, wind is still light cross-off, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds and the energy falls to 222. It’s clean, but doesn’t have that same grunt.
The real standout is Saturday morning, August 29th. We’re talkin’ dead glassy, not a breath of wind out of the NW, and a solid 5ft of ENE swell. Yeah, it’s short period at 8 seconds, but that windless surface is gonna make it look like a mirror. Energy is 236. This is the one you wake up early for. After lunch though, the wind swings onshore from the SE and it’s game over.
Sunday morning (August 30th) is glassy again, but the swell is smaller at 3ft from the E, and the energy is down at 153 – weak and ordinary. That’s your last clean window for a long, long time.
From Sunday afternoon all the way to Thursday September 10th, you can hang up your wettie. We’re lookin’ at cross-on and onshore winds, mostly SE and SSE, gustin’ up to 16 mph. Swell hangs around 3ft to 5ft, but it’s all blown-out chop for over a week.
Now, look out to Saturday, September 5th. We get another glassy morning with 4ft ENE swell, light rain, and no wind. It’s a long-range hope, 9 days out, so don’t bet the farm. Energy sits at 333. Saturday afternoon stays glassy with 4ft ENE swell. Promisin’, but too far off to be sure.
After September 6th, it’s back into the wind again through the end of the forecast.
Best call: Saturday morning, August 29th. Glassy, 5ft ENE swell. Thursday morning August 27th is your backup with the longer period. After that, you might as well get the kite rig out, ’cause this reef is gonna look more like a wind farm than a wave farm.
Keep your eyes peeled for that Saturday, September 5th morning session – it might just fire.
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.
