The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days at Navegantes are a real mixed bag, and we’ve got a long quiet spell to get through before anything worth paddling out for shows up. The first week is pretty ordinary, with only small, weak waves and often messy wind. The real standout action kicks off in the second week, so you’ll want to keep your eyes on that.
The first real swell of note arrives on Saturday, August 7th. The morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW and a 4 ft swell from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate wave energy (227). That’s a decent little combo, and the wind should keep things tidy. The afternoon turns into a cross-onshore mess, so get out early.
The best of the whole window, and the one to really circle, is Monday, August 10th. The afternoon gets glassy – dead calm – with a 4 ft SE groundswell and a period of 14 seconds. The wave energy jumps to strong (601). That’s proper, clean, long-period energy. It’s not huge, but that glassy wind and solid groundswell will make for some really fun, lined-up waves. The morning of Tuesday, August 11th is also a standout: clean, light cross-off NW wind, 4 ft SE swell, and a very long 16-second period, with energy getting into the very strong range (722). That’s a proper groundswell. Just keep in mind that with a period over 15 seconds, it’ll be better peeling at the point and reef setups, and the beach break might get a bit straight. But on a clean day, it’s still magic.
The water temperature is around 66°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing wild.
Now, a word of warning for the beginners: the swell on the 10th and 11th is under 5 ft, so it’s fine for most, but the 11th has a lot of energy behind it. If you’re not confident in a current, sit it out.
For the rest of the week after that, the wind turns onshore again and the swell drops off, so it’s back to waiting. The 16th (Sunday) has a 5 ft SE swell, but the wind is a cross-shore at 12 mph, so it’ll be lumpy.
Overall, the setup at Navegantes is a beach and jetty, and with the wind patterns we’ve got, a lot of the afternoons are blown out. But when that clean morning wind lines up with a proper SE swell, it’s all on. The best of the best is the afternoon of the 10th of August and the morning of the 11th of August. Glassy, clean, and solid groundswell. That’s the one.
Rusty.

Information about the Navegantes Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Navegantes provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Navegantes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Navegantes 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 (Navegantes) 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 Navegantes 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.
