The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s coming for Estaleiro Reef in terms you can feel.
This is a reef break for intermediate surfers, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ve got to be on your toes when it turns on. Water temp is about 70°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Honestly, the first week and a half looks like a write-off. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or just messy, the swell is short-period junk, and the energy is weak to moderate at best. There’s one morning on Tuesday, September 8th, where it goes glassy with a 2ft SE swell at 11 seconds, but the energy is only 166, so it’s barely surfable.
The real standout, the one to set your alarm for, is the morning of Thursday, September 10th. A clean 5ft swell from the ENE, 8-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the N at just 6 mph. The energy is 369 – a good, solid push. It’s an inconsistent spot, so expect lulls, but the sets that come through will be clean and worth the wait.
Then, the next morning on Friday, September 11th, we get another glassy morning. A 5ft E swell, 9-second period, and energy up at 402. More juice, no wind, dead clean. Another top session if you can get out.
After that, it’s back to onshore slop and poor conditions all the way to the 18th. There’s a glassy morning on the 18th with a small 3ft ENE swell, but the energy is only 130, so it’s a cruiser board day.
So here’s the call: the first week is a dud. Your only two real windows are the mornings of the 10th and 11th of September. Be there early, because it’s inconsistent and there could be a few others with the same idea.
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.
