The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Navegantes are a mixed bag, with a real dry spell in the middle and only a couple of windows worth getting excited about. The water is sitting around 68°F and that’s about bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

First up, on Tuesday the 1st of September, we’ve got a small 4ft SSE swell, but it’s coming in at 7 seconds, so pretty weak and short period. The wind is a light cross-onshore, and the whole setup looks marginal – not really worth paddling out for.

Wednesday morning the 2nd sees a slight improvement: 4ft SE swell with a longer 10-second period, and the wave energy is picking up (404). Still, that cross-on breeze has got it looking a bit messy. By Wednesday afternoon, the swell bumps to 5ft from the SE with an 11-second period, and the energy jumps (598), but it’s onshore. Might be a few fun ones if you’re desperate, but nothing special.

Thursday morning the 3rd is where it starts to turn. We’ve got clean conditions with a NNW cross-off breeze, 4ft ESE groundswell at 11 seconds, and decent energy (363). This is surfable and looking a fair bit better. But by the afternoon it’s back to choppy cross-on junk.

Then we hit a proper rough patch. From Friday the 4th right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, it’s a run of poor surf conditions – mostly weak swell, cross or cross-on winds, and a lot of chop. The only glimmer is Tuesday morning the 8th: a solid 6ft SSE swell with 10-second period and a clean cross-off breeze. That’s a standout – energy is pumping (834), and the wave quality is expected to be very good. Morning will be the window.

Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are a write-off again – onshore winds and building swell that’s just messy. Friday the 11th of September is the second real standout: a clean morning with NNW cross-off winds, a 7ft ENE swell at 10 seconds, and energy through the roof (840). That’s a proper solid swell with clean conditions – but note, at 7ft, it’s getting into the zone where beginners might struggle. The afternoon goes cross-on and choppy, so make it an early one.

After that, it’s back into run-of-the-mill conditions through to the end of the forecast. Marginal surf, cross-shore winds and inconsistent energy. There is nothing special in the second week – just small to moderate swells with poor wind alignment.

So, the pick of the run is Tuesday morning the 8th and Friday morning the 11th of September at Navegantes. Clean, solid swell, good energy – those are your windows. The rest is mostly for the hardcore or the kooks.

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.
