The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is your surf outlook for Navegantes.
The week ahead serves up a bit of a mixed bag. The first real chance of something decent kicks off early Monday morning, September 14th. We've got a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with a light cross-off shore breeze. Moderate wave energy (335). It'll be rideable, but not a classic. That afternoon drops a little bit to 4ft and the wind holds, so you can still get a few.
Tuesday the 15th is an interesting one. The swell drops right off to 2ft in the morning, but my god, it is glassy. That's a rare treat. For a small wave, those conditions make it beautiful. The energy is weak (140), so don't expect to get worked, just a nice, peaceful paddle.
We hit a rough patch from Wednesday the 16th right through the following weekend. It's not pretty. The wind turns onshore, and we get a lot of rain thrown in. The swell picks up for the weekend, particularly Sunday the 20th, hitting a strong 6ft in the morning with heavy onshore winds - that's a messy, blown-out mess. You do not want to be out there.
However, keep Sunday afternoon the 20th firmly in mind. The wind swings offshore and goes glassy, cleaning up that remnant 6ft ENE swell. It's still got a decent amount of energy (599), but the wind shift makes it the standout session of the entire first week. That is your time to go.
The following week starts off okay. Monday the 21st has a clean 5ft from the E with a cross-off breeze. It's decent. The wave energy is moderate at 406. It gets messy again mid-week, but hold out for Thursday the 24th. Thursday morning is glassy again, with a clean 4ft E swell. It's not huge, but for a morning session with those conditions, it’s a quality window. That trend continues into Friday the 25th: glassy morning, small but clean 3ft swell.
There is a big gap after that until the 28th. We have a few days of onshore slop and rain. But on Monday the 28th, we get another glass-off with a short-period 5ft SE swell. That’s a deceptive little dawn patrol that could surprise you. The morning is your only window though, as the wind howls in the afternoon.
The biggest takeaway? This isn't a week for huge, pumping barrels. It’s a week for picking your windows. The absolute best on offer is Sunday afternoon, September 20th, with that glassy offshore wind cleaning up a solid 6ft swell. That is the one you call in sick for. The second best is Thursday morning, September 24th for a clean, fun-sized glassy session. Navegantes is a consistent spot, but with a heavy onshore bias this period, it really rewards those who wait for the glass-off. Water temp is 67°F, which is just about average for this time of year.
Don't waste your energy on the windy, rainy days. Watch the charts, wait for the glass, and you'll get your fill.

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.

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.
