The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run through what Navegantes is serving up over the next couple weeks.
This beach and jetty spot is wide open to the SE, and it breaks very consistently, so there’s always something in the water. Water temp is about 67°F, right around average for August.
Starting Wednesday the 12th, it’s small but clean. Wednesday afternoon we’ve got 3ft of SE swell with a nice 12-second groundswell, light offshore wind, glassy conditions, and weak energy (220). Not big, but fun for an intermediate. Thursday the 13th morning is a step up – 3ft SE swell with a long 15-second period, clean with light cross-offshore breeze, energy climbing (374). Morning is the call before the onshore kicks in.
Friday the 14th is a gem. Morning is tiny at 2ft but dead glassy, 13-second period (173 energy). Small but perfect. Friday afternoon bumps to 3ft, 14 seconds, still glassy (312 energy). That afternoon is your best window for the first week.
Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th see size around 5ft, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds and the wind gets messy. Energy is moderate to strong (up to 483) but the waves look crumby. Monday the 17th morning is the next decent call: 5ft of E swell, 9 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze (343 energy). Solid for intermediates but afternoon turns bumpy.
Tuesday 18th is blown out with strong cross-onshore wind. Wednesday 19th morning is glassy again with 4ft ENE swell, 9 seconds (202 energy) – a clean session before the wind picks up.
From the 20th to the 22nd, the swell drops right off. Small and weak, but there are some clean windows with light offshore or glassy conditions. Friday 21st morning has 4ft E swell at a short 7 seconds, but a solid offshore breeze (120 energy) – clean but weak.
Now the big news – Sunday the 23rd morning. We’ve got a solid 8ft SSE groundswell with an 11-second period, and it’s glassy calm. The energy is massive (1904). This is for experienced surfers only – anything over 8ft is expert territory, and this is right there. The swell direction matches the optimum, but long-period groundswell at a beach can break a bit straight. Still, with those conditions, it’s the clear standout.
Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th mornings keep it going – 3-4ft SE swell, 13-14 seconds, clean glassy or offshore winds (energy 332-525). After that, the last few days from the 26th get blown out.
Crowds are possible here sometimes, but the inconsistent quality in the first week means it shouldn’t be too packed.
Rusty’s call: Wednesday afternoon the 12th for a tiny clean wave, Friday the 14th afternoon for glassy perfection, and the absolute standout is Sunday the 23rd morning – big power, no wind. That’s your day if you’re experienced.

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.
