Table - best surf conditions forecast for Estaleiro Reef over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Estaleiro Reef.
The next couple of days are pretty flat and lackluster. We’ve got some tiny swell, but conditions are ordinary. Wednesday morning you’ll see a weak 2ft from the ESE with a lousy 10-second period, and the water is a bit colder than normal right now at 64°. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but not much to get excited about. Thursday holds similar small stuff around 2ft. Friday though, the period stretches to 13 seconds, giving a bit more push on a 2ft swell, but the wind turns cross-on, so it’s messy.
The real first standout hits us on Saturday morning, July 11th. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the ESE, period pushing 13 seconds, and the wind goes completely glassy. Zero wind. That’s a beautiful thing for a reef break. The energy is ramping up to moderate (531). This is the pick of the early window – clean, lined up, and all yours.
Sunday, July 12th, stays nice with offshore winds and 3ft waves. Good, but not the standout. Then Monday morning, July 13th, the swell jumps to 6ft from the SSE with a shorter 9-second period. That’s getting a bit pushy, and it’s clean in the morning, but the afternoon goes sour with onshore wind. Still, that morning window is worth a look for the bigger wave hunters.
The following week is a mixed bag. From Tuesday the 14th through Thursday the 17th, we’re back to small, ordinary waves, a lot of cross-shore wind, and nothing to write home about. Friday the 17th is clean but tiny. Then Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th show a bit of life: clean 4ft to 4ft swell from the ENE, period around 8 seconds. It’s not groundswell, but it’s fun, clean, and consistent. That Sunday morning with offshore wind is a solid pick for the second week.
Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st keep the 4ft to 5ft ENE swell going, but Tuesday afternoon gets chopped up by strong cross-on wind. Wednesday the 22nd is a write-off with onshore flow. The last bright spot is Thursday morning, July 23rd – offshore wind, 4ft from the ENE, clean and tidy.
Overall, if you’re picking your window, Saturday July 11th is the real gem – glassy, clean, and decent size. The second week’s best is Sunday July 19th morning. Don’t bother with the flat days in between; the reef will be quiet.

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.
