The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
We're starting off pretty quiet. The first few days are small and weak, nothing to write home about. The real action starts to build towards the end of the first week and into the second.
The standout window is Saturday, August 15th afternoon. The stars are going to align for a little while. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell pushing in from the ENE, and the key thing here is that the wind is due to go glassy. That’s a rare treat, with a combined energy of 512. It’s not going to be huge, but it’ll be clean as a whistle and should offer some fun, lined-up waves over the reef. For a reef break, that’s a proper session. Keep in mind that Estaleiro Reef is inconsistent, so you’ll have to be patient between sets, but when they come through, they’ll be worth waiting for.
Leading up to that, there’s a bit of a tease on Saturday, August 8th. The swell is tiny at 2ft, but it’s a long-period 13-second groundswell from the SE, and the wind is forecast to be glassy again. The energy is moderate at 238, so it could be a fun little session for a log or a fish if you’re keen.
After that Saturday peak, we get a bit of a mixed bag. Monday, August 17th looks promising again with a moderate 4ft ENE swell and a gentle offshore wind from the WNW. That’s a clean setup, with moderate energy at 218, and the reef should handle the direction well. Wednesday, August 19th morning also has a nice 4ft SE groundswell (11 seconds) with clean offshore winds from the NW, giving it a combined energy of 329. That’s a solid option for the second week.
There’s a big spike in energy on Tuesday, August 18th afternoon, with a combined energy of 843, but the swell is 6ft from the SSE with a short, choppy period. That’s one for the experts only, and the onshore wind won’t help. Probably more of a kite day than a paddle day.
So, to wrap it up: the best bet is the glassy session on the afternoon of the 15th of August. The 17th and 19th are also solid secondary options. Don't expect much before the 8th.
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.
