The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s in store for Estaleiro Reef.
The water’s 67°F right now, pretty average for this time of year, nothing weird. The start is a bit of a letdown – Monday the 24th has messy, onshore wind and not much to get excited about.
The clear standout is Wednesday morning, the 26th. You’ve got 4ft of SE swell with a super long 15-second period, glassy conditions, and a combined energy reading of 571 – that’s solid, moderate-to-strong juice. This reef loves that long-period groundswell. It’s inconsistent, but when a set rolls in, it’ll be clean, powerful, and well-shaped. Best for intermediate and up.
Wednesday afternoon holds up with offshore WNW wind at 10 km/h and 4ft SE swell – even more energy at 692. That afternoon glass-off is special.
Thursday the 27th is a washout – don’t bother.
Friday the 28th brings a 5ft ENE windswell with a short 8-second period. The morning is clean with cross-off wind, so you might snag a few, but it’s not the quality of Wednesday.
Saturday the 29th afternoon and Sunday the 30th are both glassy with 4ft E swell. Calm, clean, and surfable all weekend.
Then there’s a dead stretch from the 1st through the 7th of September – wind and swell just don’t cooperate. Mostly choppy or onshore trash.
Hope returns on Tuesday afternoon the 8th of September – that’s a 4ft SE swell with a massive 16-second period and a 692 energy score. Clean, light wind, and long-period groundswell on a reef. That’s a real long-range possibility to keep an eye on.
Bottom line: Wednesday the 26th is your best session. The weekend glass-offs are a solid backup.
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.
