The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here, and I've got a look at what's coming up for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow start, but there's a serious pulse of energy building for the end of the month and into the start of August that's got my attention.

The first week or so is pretty quiet. We're looking at small, weak swells with a lot of cross-shore wind and not much to get excited about. The best of a very average bunch looks like it'll be on the morning of Saturday the 25th of July at Navegantes. We've got a clean 4ft swell from the ESE with a light offshore wind from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate at 271, and the water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year. It's not going to blow your mind, but it's the only window where the conditions actually line up for a session. The crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have a few mates out. The swell period is a short 10 seconds, so expect little close-outs rather than long, walling runners.

After that, we slide back into a few days of marginal surf and messy winds. Then, hold onto your board, because things change dramatically. From the 31st of July, we see a big jump in energy. The evening of the 31st of July has a building 7ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is cross-on, so it'll be a bit messy. The real standout window is Saturday the 1st of August. The morning starts with a clean 7ft swell from the E and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The combined energy is strong at 513. Then, Saturday afternoon is looking even better: a 7ft E swell, with glassy conditions and no wind to speak of. The energy is very strong at 1004. This is big, powerful stuff for experienced surfers only.

The action doesn't stop there. Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the pick of the entire run. We're looking at a 8ft swell from the E with a 10-second period and absolutely zero wind, making for a glassy, clean, powerful wall of water. The combined energy is a massive 1115. This is proper, heavy beach break surf. It is too big for beginners and will demand respect from even the most experienced. The afternoon turns a bit lumpy as the wind swings cross-on.

Looking further out, the first week of August keeps the energy high. The morning of Tuesday the 4th of August is another standout to circle. A 8ft swell from the ESE with a 12-second period, combined with a light offshore wind from the W, makes for a clean, powerful, and long-period groundswell. The energy is massive at 1437. This long-period swell will be better at points and reefs than the beach break itself, as it can get a bit straight for the beach. The Thursday morning the 6th of August is a long-range call, but the numbers are eye-watering: an 8ft swell from the SE with a 14-second period, offshore wind, and a combined energy of 4210. That's a very strong, very long-period groundswell that will be a serious handful, but an absolute dream for the experienced crew on a good bank.

So, to cut through the noise: For the first week, take the clean windows on Saturday the 25th of July. But the real standouts are the glassy mornings of Saturday the 1st of August, Sunday the 2nd of August, and Tuesday the 4th of August. These are the days to clear your schedule for. The longer-range stuff on the 6th of August is promising, but keep an eye on the forecasts as we get closer.

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.
