The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at the charts for Estaleiro Reef.
Right off the bat, don’t bother waxing up for the next week. It’s a grim stretch. We’re looking at a solid eight or nine days of barely a ripple, with mostly weak, short-period windswell around 2ft to 3ft, and onshore or cross-shore breezes messing it up. The water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is about 0.5°F warmer than average for this time of year – nothing weird, just your usual winter chill.
There is a bit of a pulse of energy coming through on Monday, the 10th of August. The swell bumps up a little, but the wind is still a problem. The real standout, the one that’s got my attention, is Tuesday, the 11th of August. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the SSE, pushing into the reef with a period of 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is pumping at 677 (moderate to strong), and with a light SW breeze keeping things cross-off, the conditions are shaping up for some proper, clean lines. That’s the day to circle on the calendar. This swell direction matches what this reef likes, and it should produce some good, well-shaped waves.
Before that, the morning of Monday, the 10th, has some similar energy with a 5ft swell from the SSE, but it’s a bit messier. Still, it might be worth a look. After that Tuesday high, things get sloppy again with a strong southerly breeze shifting the wind onshore, chopping up the water and dropping the quality right off.
Towards the end of the period, Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th look promising again. Saturday morning has a clean 3ft swell from the SE with 13-second period – that’s some long-period groundswell. The wind is light offshore from the NW, making for glassy conditions. That’s a great little window for the reef, though the size means it’s more of a longboard session. Sunday morning is glassy again, but the period drops and the swell direction swings.
The takeaway: If I had to pick one absolute best window for this spot, it’s Tuesday, the 11th of August – the SSE swell, clean cross-off wind, and moderate energy should be a proper session for intermediate surfers. Saturday the 15th is the dark horse for a clean, easy morning. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
