The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.
Gonna be honest, the next week or so is pretty flat and ordinary. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell coming in from the east and southeast, and mostly onshore or cross-off winds that aren’t doing us any favours. The water temperature is sitting around 66°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout doesn’t pop up until the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. That’s a full week of waiting. On that morning, a new pulse of swell from the SSE arrives – 5ft at 10 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 515, and with a light cross-off wind, it should be clean. Navegantes is a beach and jetty setup, so a longer period like 10 seconds means the waves will have more shape and energy, but expect longer lulls between sets. This is the best on offer, and it’s got real potential. The morning of Thursday, August 6th, is also worth a mention – 3ft from the SE, glassy conditions, and moderate energy (242). That afternoon looks even better with 4ft and glassy winds, so that Thursday could be a solid day for a session.
After that, the weekend of the 9th and 10th gets a bit messy with stronger winds, so don’t get your hopes up. The morning of Sunday, August 9th, has a clean 4ft from the SSE with cross-off winds and moderate energy (240), but the afternoon gets blown out.
For the rest of the window, it’s mostly small, weak, and choppy. Not much to write home about. If you’re a beginner, keep an eye on those smaller days around July 27th to 31st, but the waves are tiny and not great. The Wednesday August 5th and Thursday August 6th are the only real standouts, and they’re for the more experienced crew – 5ft is getting a bit too big for beginners.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts. It tends not to stay this poor for long.
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. If you surf the same spot (Navegantes) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
