The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a slow start, but two real standout mornings if you’re willing to wait. Water temp is 68°, right about average for this time of year.
Saturday, August 29th and Sunday, August 30th are no good – small, choppy, messy. Sunday afternoon goes glassy but with only 3ft of weak swell, it’s barely worth a paddle.
Monday, August 31st gets better. Morning has a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW, cleaning up a 4ft easterly swell (8 seconds). Moderate energy (220). Afternoon turns glassy with 3ft – a clean little session.
Tuesday, September 1st is nothing special. Clean in the morning but tiny, then onshore junk in the afternoon.
Wednesday, September 2nd is the first big standout. Early morning: clean, cross-offshore wind, and a solid 8ft southerly swell (9 seconds). Strong energy (1105) – that’s expert territory. Too big for beginners, but the experienced guys will love it. It’s a beach/jetty break, so expect powerful, pitching waves. Afternoon gets onshore, so hit it early.
Thursday, September 3rd morning cleans up again with 4ft and light cross-off wind. Good but not special. Afternoon goes choppy.
Friday, September 4th and Saturday, September 5th are mostly poor. Saturday afternoon goes glassy but the swell drops to 1ft – barely a ripple.
Sunday, September 6th brings a clean morning with offshore wind from the WSW at 15 mph, cleaning up a 3ft SE swell (10 seconds). Moderate energy (210). Fun and clean.
Monday, September 7th is the other standout. Morning: light offshore breeze and a solid 7ft southerly swell (10 seconds) with strong energy (1044). Expert-only. Clean and powerful. Afternoon goes onshore.
Then a gap of poor conditions from Tuesday, September 8th through Wednesday, September 9th – blown out, onshore, weak. Wednesday morning has 8ft but with nasty cross-on winds and short period – more for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
Thursday, September 10th is worth it: glassy morning, 5ft easterly swell (9 seconds), moderate energy (399). Clean and fun for intermediates up.
Friday, September 11th is glassy but small – 4ft.
Saturday, September 12th looks good again. Morning clean with cross-off breeze and a 5ft easterly swell (10 seconds). Solid energy (776). A great Saturday session. Afternoon stays clean but drops a little.
Sunday, September 13th is clean but average – 4ft to 4ft.
Best bets: Wednesday, September 2nd (8ft, clean, expert only) and Monday, September 7th (7ft, clean, expert only). For something more mellow, Saturday, September 12th morning with 5ft and clean conditions is your pick.
Get on it early.

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.
