The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. It’s a slow start for Estaleiro Reef, with nothing worth a paddle for the first few days. You’re staring at a gap of no real surf until Tuesday the 15th of September. From there, it slowly wakes up, but the real juice doesn’t show until the weekend after.
Tuesday the 15th of September morning is the first sniff of action. Clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze, east swell around 4ft, and moderate energy at 326. It’s not big but it’s clean. Afternoon gets ruined by onshore wind, so forget it. The rest of the week is small and messy, with a glassy 2ft on Friday the 18th morning and a clean 3ft on Saturday the 19th morning, but nothing special.
The standout is Sunday the 20th of September afternoon. Swell bumps up to 6ft from the east, energy is strong at 581, and the wind is light and cross-offshore, leaving it clean. This is the one to circle. Water temp sits around 67°F, pretty normal for this time of year. Crowds can turn up here sometimes, so be ready for company.
Monday the 21st holds 5ft east swell with clean conditions and energy around 300 to 344, still solid. Tuesday the 22nd morning is glassy with 4ft east swell and energy of 301, another good slot.
Later on, Monday the 28th of September morning brings a long period groundswell from the southeast at 15 seconds, with 4ft of swell and a powerful 575 energy. Clean with light cross-offshore wind. That’s a promising one but it’s more than a week out, so keep an eye on it.
The best bet is Sunday the 20th afternoon, with the 28th morning as a hopeful follow-up. This break is inconsistent, so you’ve got to time it right. Not much for beginners when it gets above 5ft.
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.
