The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, makin' the conversion for my Yankee brothers. Let's talk about Navegantes.
The best windows are gonna be in the mornings, startin' tomorrow, Wednesday, July 15th.
That Wednesday morning is a gem. Swell's about 4ft from the ESE, with a nice long 10-second period. Wind's dead glassy from the WNW at just 3 mph. Water's sittin' at 63°, a touch colder than normal for this time of year. Wave energy is moderate (265). This is the cleanest session of the whole outlook.
Thursday the 16th morning has offshore wind from the WNW at 3 mph, but the swell drops to 3ft. Friday the 17th morning brings back the glassy conditions with the same light WNW wind, swell back up to 4ft, and an 8-second period (238 energy). That's another fine one.
Over the weekend, Saturday the 18th morning sees a bump to 5ft from the ENE, with cross-off NW wind at 6 mph, keepin' it clean (314 energy). Sunday the 19th morning is similar: 4ft, clean. Both of these are solid. Just remember, the crowds can be a thing here sometimes, and the afternoons get wrecked by side-shore breezes.
Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd are pretty messy. The end of that week, from the 23rd to the 25th, is a total dud—tiny, poor waves around 2ft to 3ft. That's a few days of nothin' to get excited about.
Then we jump ahead to Monday, July 27th. That's the big one for the experienced crew. The swell surges to 8ft from the SSE, with strong energy (1283) and a 9-second period. Light cross-shore wind. That's expert-only territory. The afternoon holds a 7ft swell from the SSE, with an 11-second period and even more energy (1311), but the cross-onshore wind makes it a bit rough. The long period could make this beach break a bit shifty and straight.
After that, the 28th and 29th are small and blown out.
Finally, Thursday, July 30th offers one more clean morning: a glassy 5ft ENE swell with WNW wind at 3 mph and moderate energy (408). It's a decent way to wrap things up.
So, circle Wednesday, July 15th for the cleanest, and Monday, July 27th for the heaviest. Friday and weekend mornings are your backups.
Rusty, out.

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.
Navegantes is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Navegantes. If you plan a holiday in Santa Catarina - Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Navegantes. Navegantes has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
