Alright, sizing this up at Navarro Rivermouth (Navarro-Rivermouth). Water’s running 11°, which is about 2° colder than usual—a real winter feel.
Friday the 3rd: 1.7m NW swell, short 8-second period, energy 326 (moderate) and light west wind that’s offshore but the tide’s questionable. Afternoon goes cross-on and poor.
Saturday the 4th brings 1.8m NW, light cross-on, 435 energy (moderate)—poor conditions.
Honestly, the whole first week through Friday the 10th is a slog. Swell runs 1.6m to 2.4m with cross-onshore wind and moderate breeze. Energy climbs to 600–700s (moderate to strong), but no quality. This setup would be more fun for kite surfing with the constant cross-on wind.
There’s a big gap in good options until the second week.
Tuesday the 14th shows 1.9m NW, 472 energy (moderate) in the morning and then 2.4m NW, 848 energy (strong) in the afternoon—still cross-on and only marginal.
Wednesday the 15th is the best I see. Afternoon has 2.3m NW with a light west wind at 5 km/h, nearly glassy. Energy hits 1079 (strong to very strong). That’s clean-ish and the best chance for a decent session. The morning has 2.1m NW, 974 energy, light cross-on—also not terrible.
Thursday the 16th morning is a weird one: just 0.9m from WNW but with a 19-second period—very long groundswell—and energy 1331 (very strong). A river mouth with that period can be tricky but for experts it could be fun. Afternoon has 2.5m NW, 1508 energy (very strong) and light wind but still calling it marginal.
Friday the 17th: 2.4m to 3.0m NW, energy 1553 and 1730 (very strong), periods 8–9 seconds. Cross-on wind. Too big and rough for most. Saturday the 18th is similar with 2.3m and 2.1m NW, energy 1421 and 1386 (very strong), light cross-on—still marginal.
Standout for me is Wednesday afternoon the 15th: that near-offshore wind and 2.3m NW with strong energy. The long-period Thursday morning is a dark horse for experts. Crowds are often an issue at this rivermouth, and it’s inconsistent. Beginners should avoid the 2.5m+ days.

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 Navarro Rivermouth 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.
