Navegantes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming up for Navegantes. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are a few windows where it’ll be worth paddling out.

Right off the bat, it’s not exactly firing. The water is sitting at around 64°, which is a bit colder than what you'd expect for this time of year. The good news is Navegantes is a very consistent spot, so there's always something to work with.

Monday morning (July 6th) is rideable with a small 3 ft swell from the SE and a light cross-offshore breeze, but the conditions are just ordinary. The wave energy is moderate at 191. The afternoon turns to rubbish with onshore winds, so you can give that a miss.

Tuesday the 7th morning is where things start to look up. We’ve got a clean 4 ft swell from the SE with clean offshore wind, and the wave energy is up to 263. That's your best early call. The afternoon goes glassy with a light NE breeze, but the swell drops back to 3 ft.

Wednesday and Thursday (8th and 9th) are clean but small, with swells hanging around 2 ft to 2 ft. Friday the 10th has a standout moment in the afternoon – a glassy, 3 ft ESE swell with a period of 12 seconds, putting the wave energy at 208. It’s clean and the light air will make for some nice lines.

Now, the real standout of the whole forecast is Saturday morning, July 11th. We’re looking at a 4 ft swell from the ESE with a long 13-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is a strong 560, meaning there’s some proper power in the water. That 4 ft at Navegantes with clean conditions is going to be very good – get on it early before the wind swings onshore in the afternoon.

Sunday the 12th gets messy with onshore winds. The following week has a few more clean windows, like Monday the 13th morning (3 ft SE, clean) and Wednesday the 15th morning (2 ft SE, long 14-second period, strong energy at 409), but it’s mostly small and ordinary.

The second week is pretty quiet overall. There are pockets of clean, glassy surf, but the size is tiny – think 1 ft to 3 ft. Nothing to get too excited about, but keep an eye on Monday the 20th afternoon for a glassy 2 ft from the SE with a long 15-second period.

So, to wrap it up: Tuesday morning (7th) is the solid early call, but the absolute best on offer is Saturday morning (11th). Get out there for that one. The rest is small and ordinary, but it never stays flat here for long.

Rusty.
