The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The pick of the bunch, and really the only time you should be paddling out, is the weekend of the 10th and 11th of August. That's when we get a proper little pulse of energy. The morning of Saturday the 10th is looking glassy with a light offshore breeze, and it's the same story on Sunday the 15th of August. That Saturday morning, the swell is around 3ft from the southeast with a period of 10 seconds, giving a moderate combined energy of 202. The wind is dead calm, glassy as a mirror. Sunday the 15th is much the same, with that same 3ft of southeast swell. It's not huge, but it's clean, and for a reef setup like Estaleiro Reef, those conditions are pure gold. The Saturday afternoon also holds up with the same swell and glassy conditions. This is your window.
The rest of the forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, it's mostly poor. There's a little bit of surfable swell through the first week, but the wind is often cross or cross-onshore, ruining the shape. The morning of Friday the 7th of August has a bit of a bump with 4ft from the ENE, but the wind is offshore, so it might be worth a look if you're desperate. The combined energy is moderate at 143. The real standout is the glassy window on the 10th and 11th of August. After that, the surf fades out again, with only small, weak waves and messy wind for the rest of the second week. The 17th of August has a bit of a clean morning, but the swell is small and the energy is weak.
Look, it's a lean couple of weeks. If you're not out on that Saturday or Sunday morning, you're probably not missing much. The forecast can change, but right now, it's a waiting game for that one clean window.

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.
