The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Navegantes over the next couple of weeks. It’s a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows worth paddling out for.
We start off pretty ordinary. Tuesday the 8th has some surfable 2ft SE swell in the morning, but it’s very ordinary with a light breeze. The real standout early on is Wednesday the 9th. The morning brings a clean 4ft ENE swell, glassy conditions, and the combined energy is moderate (242). That’s a solid little session for intermediates – clean, fun, and the water temp is about average for the time of year. Thursday the 10th morning is glassy too with 3ft ENE swell, but it’s nothing special. Thursday afternoon, however, throws a curveball: a 1.5ft SE swell with a very long period of 15 seconds, generating moderate energy (297) and clean cross-off wind. That long period groundswell will hold up better at the jetty end, but expect very long gaps between sets.
The next big window is Tuesday the 15th. This is the real highlight. Tuesday morning delivers 6ft ENE swell with a clean offshore wind, and the combined energy is strong (760). That’s a solid, punchy wave for experienced surfers – not for beginners. By Tuesday afternoon, it drops to 5ft, but the wind goes glassy, and the energy is still strong (520). That’s as good as it gets for this stretch. The swell direction (ENE) matches the optimum for the spot, and the offshore/glass conditions will keep it clean.
After that, things fade. Wednesday the 16th morning is still okay with 4ft E swell, but the wind shifts. The rest of the second week is mostly poor – lots of cross-onshore wind, small chop, and weak energy. There’s a brief mention of Monday the 21st morning with 4.5ft SSE swell and offshore wind, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the energy is moderate (296). It’s a maybe, but not a standout.
Overall, the best bet is Wednesday the 9th morning for a clean, fun session, and Tuesday the 15th for the biggest, cleanest swell of the window – that’s the one to circle. For the rest, it’s mostly waiting for the next pulse.

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.
