The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf prospects at Navegantes for the next couple of weeks.
Water temp is about 67°, which is dead average for this time of year – no surprises there.
The immediate future is a bit of a bummer. Thursday and Friday mornings have small waves, around 3ft, but the wind is cross-off or cross, and there’s rain in the air. The energy is weak to moderate (168 and 157). The surf is just too ordinary to get excited about. It’s a beach/jetty setup, so it’s exposed, and with the wind messing it up, it’s better to wait it out.
The weekend doesn’t shape up much better. Saturday and Sunday see the swell bump to 4ft and 5ft, with moderate energy (300 to 498), but the wind is stubbornly cross or cross-on from the south and southeast. It’s choppy and poor. Not worth the drive.
Monday, the 14th of September, is a mess. The swell jumps to 6ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, with strong to very strong energy (513 and 1168). But the wind is howling cross-on at 15 to 18 mph. For a beach break, this is a kite-surfing day, not a paddle-surfing one. It’s too big for beginners, and the onshore wind makes it a washing machine.
The window. Tuesday morning, the 15th of September, is your best bet. The wind goes light offshore from the west-southwest at 3 mph, and the swell is a solid 5ft from the east with a moderate period and strong energy (351). The report says “expect good surf conditions.” This will be clean and lined up. It’s an intermediate-level day – that 5ft is a fun size. The crowd can be a factor sometimes, so expect a few other heads in the water who’ve been waiting for this.
The rest of the week and into the next is mostly a bust. The wind stays onshore or cross, and the swell is inconsistent. There’s a small window on Saturday morning, the 19th of September, with a light cross-off wind and surfable 4ft waves (258 energy), but it’s nothing special. Sunday morning, the 20th of September, is glassy with 3ft waves (147 energy) – surfable but very ordinary. After that, it’s choppy and weak through the end of the forecast.
Bottom line: plan your week around that Tuesday morning session. The offshore wind and solid 5ft east swell will make it the clear standout. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
