The Lowdown

Righto, grab a coffee, let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for Navegantes.

Honestly, the start of this run is rough. For the first few days, we are looking at a whole lot of nothing. The wind is all wrong – cross and cross-onshore – with a bit of juice in the water (combined energy around 524 on Sunday morning) but it's just messy, choppy, poor conditions. There’s no point even getting wet. This quiet, poor spell hangs around right through to the middle of the week.

Now, it’s not all bad news. Things start to clean up nicely from Wednesday morning, the 12th of August. We get a shift in the wind, going light offshore from the WSW, and that swell cleans right up. It’s only around 3ft, with a decent 13-second period from the SE, and the combined energy is moderate at 253. That’s a proper little window. And then Wednesday afternoon, we go glassy. Absolutely glassy with a north wind. For a beach/jetty setup like Navegantes, that is a major positive. The waves will be clean as a whistle, even if they’re only 3ft.

The real standout of this whole outlook, though, is the Thursday morning, the 13th of August. We’ve got a glassy, WNW offshore wind, combined energy ramping up to a healthy 388, and a 3ft swell from the SE. But the key here is the period: 16 seconds. That is a long-period groundswell. Those waves are going to have proper shape and push. It’s not huge, but for a clean morning with that period, the quality will be top-shelf for an intermediate surfer. The water temp is about average for this time of year. This is the pick of the first week, hands down.

We then hit a bit of a downer again. Friday the 14th sees the wind swing back onshore and the swell gets short-period and jumbled. Saturday the 15th is a write-off with onshore wind and messy 4ft to 5ft waves. That whole weekend is pretty ordinary. The combined energy gets up over 700 on Saturday morning, but it’s from the wrong direction and the wind is rubbish.

We get another clean-up late on Monday the 17th of August, with some cross-offshore wind and cleaner 4ft waves, but it’s a short-lived window.

Looking into the second week, the real highlight is shaping up for Wednesday afternoon, the 19th of August. We’ve got glassy conditions, a 6ft swell from the E, and a 9-second period, with combined energy hitting 505. That’s a strong pulse of moderate energy, and the wind is absolutely perfect. This will be proper fun, if a little on the bigger side for beginners. This is a promising long-range call.

The 20th of August morning looks okay with clean cross-offshore wind, and the 21st of August has a strong offshore breeze from the WSW to keep things tidy. But by the 22nd, the swell drops right down and the wind turns messy again, fading out to nothing much by the 24th.

So, to sum it up: The best waves on offer are Thursday morning, the 13th of August for that clean, long-period groundswell, and the Wednesday afternoon, the 19th of August for a stronger pulse in glassy conditions. The rest of the time, you’re fighting the wind.

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.
