The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Estaleiro Reef for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the start of this forecast is a bit of a dud. There's not much surf on offer for the first week. The real standout moment is right at the end, on Monday, August 17th. That's the one day where things look like they might actually come together for a proper session.
From Sunday, August 2nd, through the first week, it's a real struggle. We're looking at tiny, weak windswell with a short period. The swell energy is barely there (112), and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, messing up what little wave there is. A few mornings, like Wednesday the 5th, have glassy conditions, but the swell is only 0.8m from the ENE. It's just not enough to ride.
We get a bit of a pulse around the 10th and 11th of August. The swell jumps to 2-1.6m, and the energy spikes (327 to 446), but it's all from the SE with a short period, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore. Those days are going to be choppy and messy. Honestly, this is more of a kite-surfing setup than a good day for a surfboard.
Now, the one to watch. Monday, August 17th. The morning is looking good. Light offshore winds from the WNW, and a solid 1.3m swell from the E, with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is strong (276). With those offshore winds, it's going to be clean and surfable. This is your best bet by a long shot, but it's over a week away, so don't bank on it just yet. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore, so make it an early session.
A quick note on this spot. Estaleiro Reef is a reef break, and it’s *inconsistent* – it doesn't break all the time. So when it does, and the wind is right, it's a treat. But don't expect to rock up and find waves every day. Also, it can get crowded sometimes, so keep that in mind. The water temperature is 19°, which is just a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
So, the bottom line: forget the first week. The only real chance at a good wave is the morning of Monday, August 17th. That's your window.
Rusty, out.

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.
