The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet run here at Estaleiro Reef (Estaleiro-Reef). The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. The first few days are a write-off – Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd are poor, with tiny weak swell and choppy wind. Sunday the 23rd morning is glassy but only 2ft of weak SE swell (energy 132), so barely worth a paddle. Then Monday the 24th morning picks up a bit with 4ft SE swell at 14 seconds (energy 615), but it’s cross-shore wind and messy. The real standout comes on Thursday the 27th morning. Offshore NW wind, clean, with 3ft SE swell at 14 seconds (energy 611) – that’s a good combo for this reef. It’s not big, but the conditions will be crisp and the sets will have some punch. After that, Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th are mixed, with some clean windows but not much size. Sunday the 30th through Monday the 31st morning are poor again with choppy onshore wind. Then Monday the 31st afternoon goes glassy with 4ft ENE swell (energy 253) – a nice little surprise. Into September, the first week is mostly tiny and average, though Thursday the 4th morning has offshore NW wind and 3ft ESE swell (energy 347) – clean but small. The best of the whole outlook is definitely Thursday the 27th morning. It’s not huge, but offshore wind and a decent long-period groundswell will make the reef work well. Keep an eye on the later weeks, but it’s a waiting game.

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.
