The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about Navegantes in feet and miles per hour. The next couple of weeks have some good windows, but you’ve got to pick your moments.
Right off the bat, Thursday the 16th is a total dud – no surf to speak of. The first real chance is Friday morning the 17th. The water temperature is 17°, which is about 2° colder than usual, so you’ll feel that chill.
Friday morning the 17th brings a small 4ft swell from the ENE, 10-second period. The wind is light cross-offshore from the WNW at 3 mph, so clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 203. Not a standout, but a good start.
The real standout, the best of the whole outlook, is Sunday morning the 19th. We’ve got a 4ft ENE swell, 8-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm from the NW at 3 mph. That’s perfect conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 211. It’s an intermediate-level wave, so it’s good for most folks, and the crowd is listed as “sometimes,” so you might have company.
Monday morning the 20th is also good – 4ft ENE swell with a light cross-off wind from the WNW at 3 mph. Clean conditions, combined energy 214 (moderate). It’s a repeat of Sunday’s setup, just not quite glassy.
After that, the swell drops. Tuesday the 21st is ordinary, Wednesday the 22nd is small and ordinary, and Thursday the 23rd is a bust. Friday the 24th is a mess – onshore winds and choppy. With the beach setup and stronger wind, it might be better for kite surfing than paddling.
Then we get a nice surprise. Saturday the 25th has a new SE swell, 3ft, but with a very long period of 13 seconds on Saturday morning and 12 seconds on Saturday afternoon. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s glassy. The combined energy on Saturday morning is a strong 375. This is a promising long-range call, but remember, long-period swells can be a bit straight at a beach break. Still, it’s the second real standout.
Sunday the 26th morning is glassy again with a 3ft SE swell, 11-second period (206, moderate energy), but it’s small. After that, the last few days are mostly ordinary or poor. Nothing to get excited about from the 27th onward.
So, the picks are Sunday morning the 19th for the cleanest conditions, and Saturday the 25th for a bit more grunt and longer period. Sunday is the safer bet, Saturday is the one with more potential but a bit further out.
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.

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.
