The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Navegantes. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a couple of real gems hiding in the later part of the window if you’re patient.
The next week or so is pretty quiet, with a lot of small, choppy, or onshore days, so don’t get your hopes up too high early on. The first real chance for a decent wave comes on Thursday, September 10th, and that’s where the magic is. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the ENE, packing some serious punch with a combined energy of 1635. That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW, which will keep the face of the waves nice and tidy. This is expert territory, though – at that size, it’s not for the faint-hearted. The morning session is the standout, with the strongest energy. The afternoon on the same day sees the swell drop a bit to 7ft, but the wind goes glassy. Absolutely glassy. That’s a rare treat, and the waves will be smooth as silk. That afternoon session on the 10th is probably the pick of the whole outlook for anyone who can handle a solid 7ft clean wave.
The other window worth a mention is a fair way out, on Thursday, September 17th. The morning offers a clean, glassy 3ft wave from the ESE, with a decent long period of 10 seconds. The energy is moderate (419), but the lack of any wind will make it a fun, clean day for an intermediate surfer. It’s not a big swell, but it’ll be beautiful.
For the rest of the time, you’re looking at small, messy, or onshore conditions. The morning of September 7th has a 6ft S swell, but it’s short period and cross-shore, so it’ll be lumpy. The 14th has some size again, but strong cross-shore winds will chop it up. Honestly, for a lot of the first week, the beach setup at Navegantes is going to be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that choppy, cross-onshore wind. The water temp is sitting around 68°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a steamer.
Overall, keep your eyes on Thursday, September 10th – that’s the best swell of the run, and you’ll want to be out there for the glassy afternoon if you can. The 17th is a nice bonus if you’re still hanging around.
