The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk surf.
First up, the water temp is sitting at about 67°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. Nothing too crazy, just a nice little bonus.
The next couple of days are a write-off. Friday afternoon is a total mess with a strong onshore wind and weak, choppy swell. Saturday morning is still a bit of a cross-shore mess, but look at Saturday afternoon. The wind swings offshore, light, and we get a clean 2ft wave from the southeast. That's a glimmer of hope, but it's inconsistent here, so don't get your hopes up too high.
The real gem shows up on Wednesday, the 12th of August. We get a glassy morning with a clean 3ft southeast swell. The energy is moderate (276) and the period is a solid 12 seconds, which is proper groundswell. This reef break will be handling that nicely. It's a rare moment of calm, so if you're free, be on it. The wind is dead calm, making for absolute perfection.
Thursday the 13th morning is also looking clean with a cross-offshore breeze and a 3ft, long-period (15 sec) SE swell. The energy is moderate (352) and it's another clean opportunity. Later in the week, things get a bit more mixed with cross-shore winds, but there are still some windows.
The standout is definitely the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. The glassy conditions and that clean, long-period swell will make Estaleiro Reef (Estaleiro-Reef) a dream. It's a rare break, so when it's good, it's special. The crowds are only "sometimes" an issue, so you might even have a few waves to yourself.
The following week, around the 18th of August, we see a bigger pulse of 6ft swell from the east, but it's short period (7-8 seconds) and the wind is messy. The 19th of August looks more promising with a clean, offshore breeze and 4ft waves from the east. The energy is moderate (240) and it's clean. That's a decent option for the second week.
Overall, the first week is a slow burn, but the 12th is a true standout. The second week has some potential, but it's less certain.
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.
