The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for Estaleiro Reef over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some promising windows, but there are also some long quiet spells to work around. It’s a reef setup, so it's a bit fickle; this spot is pretty inconsistent, so when it does come alive, you gotta be ready.
The week kicks off pretty flat for Estaleiro Reef. Wednesday the 2nd is honestly a no-go with tiny, messy conditions. Things stay quiet through the end of the week and into the weekend, with day after day of poor surf. You’re looking at a dry spell from the start right through to Sunday the 6th.
Now, Monday the 7th morning grabs your attention. A solid 7ft swell from the S rolls in, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a lumpy, windswelly beast. The combined energy is a strong 688, you'll feel the power, but it's likely to be a bit of a washing machine. Still, the wind is light from the south, so give it a look if you’re keen for something with some grunt. That's probably the most size you'll see all period.
To be honest, the real standout is a couple of mornings around the middle of the month. Wednesday the 9th looks tidy: a clean 4ft swell from the NE with light offshore breezes. The combo swell energy is moderate at 243, so it’ll have a bit of push. The best bet of the whole outlook, though, is Thursday the 10th morning. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the ENE with a clean, glassy offshore wind from the NW. The combined energy is up to 324, so it's got some decent weight, and the direction is pretty much straight out of the optimum for this reef. That'll be clean, lined-up, and worth the paddle out. Just be aware, as it's a reef, the longer-period groundswells can make things a bit fast and straight, but this one looks solid.
After that, things look pretty ordinary again. There’s a small window on Thursday the 17th morning with a 4ft swell from the SSE and light offshore winds, but it's a long way out so don't book the time off just yet. Looking at the whole picture, there are some decent moments, but don't expect an endless run of perfection.
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.
