The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are pretty quiet, a lot of small, weak swell with the wind all over the place – mostly cross or onshore, kicking up a bit of chop. Water temp is around 67°F, about average for this time of year. Not much to get excited about.
Your first real chance to get wet is Wednesday morning, the 2nd. Swell comes up slightly to about 4ft from the southeast, with a 10-second period. But the big difference is the wind – it’s glassy, flat calm. It won’t be big, but it’ll be clean and fun. The wave energy is still modest at 369, so it’s more about the quality of the face.
Thursday the 3rd is another early one. Swell drops a touch to around 3ft, but there’s a light offshore from the northwest, so it’ll be clean and the waves will have a bit of shape to them. Get out there before the breeze changes in the afternoon.
Then things go quiet and a bit messy for a few days. Saturday and Sunday are poor, with onshore winds and not much push. On Monday the 7th, we get a bump in size – 6ft or so – and the energy jumps to 775, but the wind is still a problem, leaving it choppy and hard to read.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th, the swell builds to around 7ft from the east-northeast. The energy is high, over 600 and then over 900, so there’s some serious water moving. But here’s the thing – it’s just too big for this reef. The report says it’s predicted to be too big. It’ll be a heavy, powerful, closed-out mess. Unless you’re an expert with a death wish, stay on the sand. Friday morning has some glass, but it’s still just too much water.
The one that really stands out is Tuesday the 15th. The swell settles back to a more friendly 4ft from the east-northeast, with a clean offshore wind from the west-southwest. There’s decent energy at 373, and the conditions look like they’ll line up well. That’s your window, the one I’d be waking up for. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be clean, fun, and the kind of surf that puts a smile on your face.
Keep an eye on that Tuesday. The rest is either flat, messy, or too heavy. I’ll be there.
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.
