The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. The surf is going to be a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows that'll get the blood pumping. The main spot in the frame is Navegantes, a beach and jetty setup that's exposed to the swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing too wild there.
We kick off on Wednesday the 15th with a solid start. Navegantes is looking clean early with a glassy 4ft swell from the ESE, and the combined energy is moderate (265). The wind is light offshore, so the waves should be holding up nicely. The period is a long 10 seconds, which means there's some good shape and energy in the water. This is a standout for the week.
The pattern continues into Thursday the 16th morning with a cleaner 3ft swell from the ESE, but it's a bit smaller. The wind is cross-off, and the energy is still moderate (203). The afternoon turns a bit wonky with cross-on wind, so morning sessions are the go.
Friday the 17th morning sees a 4ft swell from the ENE, period dropping to 8 seconds, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is moderate (204). It's a fun, clean wave, but the shorter period means it's a bit more jumbled. Saturday the 18th morning has a 5ft ENE swell with moderate energy (319), and the wind is cross-off again. This is the biggest swell of the first week, but the short period means it might be a bit lumpy. It's still a good early session.
Sunday the 19th morning is a pearler, with glassy conditions and a 5ft ENE swell. Moderate energy (251) and a clean surface. This is another standout—the combination of the glassy wind and the decent size makes for a fun morning. The afternoon gets a cross-on wind, so again, early is key.
The following week starts to get a bit patchy. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st have clean mornings with cross-off wind, but the swells are around 4ft with short 8-second periods and moderate energy (193 and 191). Wednesday the 22nd is a write-off with onshore wind and rain. Thursday the 23rd morning has a 4ft E swell and clean wind, but the energy is dropping (206). Friday the 24th morning is glassy but small, with a 3ft E swell and low energy (159).
The weekend of the 25th and 26th is a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday the 25th is a washout with strong onshore wind and rain. Sunday the 26th morning has a 4ft SE swell, clean cross-off wind, and moderate energy (256). The period is a short 7 seconds, so it's a bit weak, but it's surfable.
The final few days of the outlook are looking rough. Monday the 27th has a 5ft E swell, but it's onshore and rainy, with the energy ramping up to strong (414). That much swell with bad wind won't be pretty. The rest of the week is a mix of small, weak swells and onshore wind, with the energy dropping off to low (112-134). The last day, Thursday the 30th, has a glimmer of hope with a glassy 5ft ENE swell and moderate energy (297), but it's a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, the best bets are the Wednesday the 15th and Sunday the 19th mornings. They have the best combination of clean glassy wind and decent swell. Thursday the 16th and Saturday the 18th mornings are also solid. The rest of the time is a bit of a struggle, with onshore winds and inconsistent, short-period swell. If you're looking for a paddle, aim for the early sessions.

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.

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.
