The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for Navegantes over the next two weeks.

We’re starting off on Sunday, August 23rd, and it’s a slow burner. The first few days have waves, but the conditions are just ordinary. The real action doesn’t look like it’s gonna fire until the middle of the week.

Navegantes is a beach and jetty setup, and it’s very consistent, so it’s always worth a look. The water is sitting at 67.5°, which is about 1.8° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels nice, nothing crazy.

For Sunday morning, we’ve got tiny 2.0ft swell from the SE, period a very long 12 seconds. The combined wave energy is pretty weak (128). The wind is a cross-off SW breeze at 6 mph, so it’s clean, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. By afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets choppy – not worth it.

Monday the 24th is a step up. Morning sees a 3.6ft SE swell, period 14 seconds, and energy is ramping up to moderate (455). The wind is a light cross-off SSW at 3 mph, so it’s clean. This is where the week starts to turn a corner. Afternoon gets messy with onshore wind.

Tuesday the 25th morning is a real standout. We’ve got 2.6ft of SE swell, a very long 13-second period, and the wind is glassy – absolutely dead calm out of the south at 3 mph. The wave energy is moderate (206). It’s small, but with that long period and glassy surface, it’ll be clean as a whistle. Perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The swell is running long, so the beach break might be a bit straight, but for a morning surf, it’s hard to beat.

Wednesday the 26th is the pick of the whole run. Wednesday morning we’ve got a 3.6ft SE swell, 15 seconds, strong wave energy (562), and a light offshore wind from the west at 3 mph. The water is going to be clean and lined up. Wednesday afternoon is even better on paper: 4.3ft SE swell, 15 seconds, very strong energy (699), and glassy conditions. That’s a proper session right there. The offshores and glassy wind will make it smooth, and the long period means good shape.

Thursday the 27th morning stays clean with a 3.0ft SE swell and glassy WNW wind, but the energy drops to 381. Still a solid session, but not as punchy as Wednesday.

Now, the end of the first week and into the second week gets a bit tricky. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th see a shift to a shorter period ENE swell (8-9 seconds), and the wind goes cross-on or poor. The swell size bumps up to 4.6ft-4.9ft, but it’s short period and onshore, so it’s going to be a choppy mess. Not worth paddling out.

Sunday the 30th of August morning offers a chance. 4.3ft E swell, 9 seconds, and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (305). It’s not the best quality, but it’s clean. Monday the 31st morning has similar energy (311) with a 4.3ft E swell and a cross-off WSW wind, so it’s rideable.

Then we hit a long gap. From Tuesday the 1st of September through Saturday the 5th, the conditions are either marginal or poor. The swell is small, period is short, and the wind is often cross or onshore. There’s a couple of glassy sessions on the 5th, but the swell is tiny (2.6ft) and period is only 7 seconds – barely surfable.

The standout for the second week lands on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. We get a 6.9ft SSE swell, 12 seconds, and the wave energy is strong (1621). That’s a big number. The wind is a light cross breeze from the south at 6 mph. Now, 6.9ft is getting into expert territory, and the cross wind might put a little bump on it, but the energy is massive. This is a big swell for the area, and if you’re an experienced surfer, this is the session to circle. The period is moderate, so it should have some punch.

After that, the last few days of the outlook (3rd to 7th September) are a mix of clean mornings and onshore afternoons, with swell sizes around 3.3ft to 4.3ft. Nothing that will blow your socks off, but Monday the 7th has a consistent 3.6ft E swell and clean cross-off winds through the morning and afternoon.

Bottom line: The best surf on offer is Wednesday the 26th of August – that morning and afternoon combo with the 3.6ft-4.3ft SE swell, 15-second period, and offshore/glassy wind is the true winner. For the big wave hunters, Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is a very promising, but longer-range, standout with that 6.9ft SSE swell. The rest of the
