Navegantes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got some real quiet spells, but a couple of standouts later on that are worth circling on the calendar.

Right now, we’re coming out of a flat spell, and the first proper session to paddle out for is on Sunday, July 5th. Navegantes will be showing some small but clean 3ft swell from the SE, with a period of 11 seconds—a nice little groundswell. The wind is glassy from the W, so the surface will be buttery. Water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent spring suit. The combined energy is moderate (236), nothing huge but enough to get some fun little runners. It’s a beach/jetty setup, so this is more about finesse than raw power. Crowds can pop up sometimes.

Monday morning the 6th stays small, 3ft, but cross-off winds from the NW will keep things clean enough for a session if you’re keen. Nothing special though.

Then we hit a real dry patch from Tuesday, July 7th through to Thursday, July 10th. The swell drops and the wind gets messy. A few mornings might look clean, but the wave heights shrink to 2ft–2ft and energy is weak. Not worth paddling out unless you’re desperate for salt.

Friday, July 11th is the first flicker of life again. Morning glassy conditions with a 3ft ESE swell at 13 seconds. Energy climbs to moderate (293). By the afternoon, it’s still glassy with the swell holding, and energy up to 384. Nice little pick-me-up after a few flat days. Worth a look.

Sunday, July 12th is genuinely good. Morning brings 4ft of ESE swell at 12 seconds, cross-off wind from the NW, and the energy jumps to strong (570). That’s real punch for a beach break. The afternoons stay solid with 3ft and energy at 686. This is the best session in the first week.

The following week, from Monday the 13th through Thursday the 16th, is mostly poor again. Onshore winds, small waves, and low energy. Not a lot to write home about.

But then… keep your eyes on Saturday, July 19th. Early morning shows 5ft of SE swell with a long 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is glassy from the S, and the combined energy hits an impressive 1612—very strong. This will be powerful, with long lulls between sets. That makes it best for the more experienced crew. It’ll be too much for beginners, that’s for sure. The break might get a bit straight at a beach setup with that long period, but if you know where to sit, the juice is worth the squeeze.

Monday, July 20th is still solid—4ft from the SE at 14 seconds, glassy again, and energy at 602. A worthy follow-up day for those who missed the main event.

So here’s the bottom line: the real highlight is the morning of Saturday, July 19th. That’s the standout—glass, strong swell, and no crowds if you get out early. The Sunday the 12th is your best early bet before things go quiet again.

This is Rusty, signing off.
