The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for Estaleiro Reef. It’s a reef break, so it can handle a bit more push than a sandy beach, but it’s inconsistent, so we’ve got to wait for the right combo.

The water temp is sitting at 65° right now, which is about 0.9° cooler than average for this time of year – nothing to write home about.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Monday the 20th kicks off with small 4ft swell from the ENE, but it’s a weak 8-second period and the combined energy is only 175 (moderate). The wind is offshore in the morning, keeping things clean, but it’s just not enough oomph to get excited about. Tuesday and Wednesday are similar – small, weak, and mostly cross-shore winds. Thursday the 23rd gets chopped by a 12 mph SSE wind, so that’s a no-go. The whole first week is pretty flat and ordinary.

We’ve got a bit of a gap before anything decent shows up. Saturday the 25th afternoon sees a little bump with 3ft from the ESE and a clean offshore wind, but it’s still small. Then Sunday the 26th morning is the real standout. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SE with a solid 11-second period, and the combined energy hits 662 (strong). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SW, making for some very good surf conditions. This is your best window – it’s got size, direction, and clean wind. The afternoon on the same day though, the swell gets too big for this break at 8ft, so stick to the morning.

Monday the 27th morning is still worth a paddle. It drops back to 4ft from the ESE, but it’s glassy – dead calm wind – and the period is 9 seconds. The energy is 280 (strong), so it’s a solid, clean session for the intermediate surfer.

After that, the second week settles back into small, weak conditions. Tuesday the 28th through to the end of the month are all under 3ft, mostly with short period and cross-shore winds. The long-range stuff on the 1st and 2nd of August is tiny – 1ft to 3ft – with a very long period of 15 seconds on the 1st, but that’s a long-period groundswell that will break too straight for a reef setup. Not worth the drive.

The bottom line: the only real standout is Sunday the 26th morning. It’s the biggest, cleanest, and most energetic swell in the whole window. The 27th morning is a solid backup. Everything else is a flat spell.

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.
