Table - best surf conditions forecast for Navegantes over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a mixed bag here. The surf window opens up on Sunday, July 12th, and while there’s a bit of action, the first half of the week is where the real interest lies. The energy picks up nicely for a day or two, but then we hit a long lull that stretches from around mid-week into the second week, where the ocean just goes to sleep. It’s a classic case of waiting for that one window to fire.
Starting on the morning of July 12th, we’ve got a clean shoulder-high swell running at about 3 ft. It's coming out of the ESE with a nice long 12-second period – proper groundswell. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WSW, keeping things clean. The water is sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than what’s normal for this time of year, so you might want a thicker spring suit. The combined energy is moderate (296), nothing thumping but it’s got enough push for a fun session. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets a bit messy, so morning is the call.
Now, Monday July 13th is the standout of the whole run. The morning session is pumping with a solid 6 ft swell from the SSE. The wind is light and cross-offshore again, so that’s going to be clean as a whistle. The energy jumps up to a strong 795, which is a serious bump in power. Just a heads up: with size over 5 ft, this one’s getting a bit punchy for beginners. For the experienced crew, this is the best wave of the forecast.
Tuesday July 14th keeps things going, but the size drops back. The morning is a clean 4 ft from the ESE, with light cross-offshore wind. The afternoon turns glassy, small but still fun at 4 ft. Both sessions have that moderate energy (268 and 309), so it’s consistent and clean. Wednesday July 15th follows a similar theme – morning glassy conditions with a waist-high 4 ft swell from the ESE. That’s another good bet. Afternoon gets a bit cross-on, so stick to the early.
From Thursday July 16th onward, the swell starts to fade and the period drops. We’re into short-period, weaker wind swell (8 seconds or less). The energy numbers drop into the low 200s and then even lower. The winds are mostly cross-off in the mornings, so it might look clean, but the waves are small and weak – under 3 ft from Thursday onward. The best of this weak spell is Saturday July 18th and Sunday July 19th mornings, where you might find a clean, knee-to-waist high wave, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Then from around July 20th, we hit a proper lull. The swell barely breaks 3 ft for days on end, and the combined energy dips well below 100 at times. This is the part of the forecast where there’s just not enough swell for a proper surf. By July 25th and 26th, we’re looking at tiny 2 ft to 2 ft waves with almost no energy (33, 25). That’s flat spell territory. It does pick up slightly on the last day, July 27th, with a morning clean 2 ft, but it’s still small.
So, the best advice I can give: hit the water early on Monday July 13th. That’s the top of the pack. After that, the morning windows from Tuesday 14th through Wednesday 15th are your next best bets. After that, it’s a waiting game until the next weather pattern rolls through.
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.
