The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming for Navegantes.
Right now, it’s pretty quiet. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are flat and messy—short-period east windswell, cross-onshore winds, and no real surf to speak of. The water’s about 68°, which is normal for this time of year. You’re better off staying home.
Monday the 31st is still dull, but Tuesday morning, September 1st, shows a glimmer. A light offshore from the west, clean lines, and a small 0.9m swell from the east-northeast (9 seconds). The combined energy is moderate (204). Not a ripper, but a sign things are waking up.
The first real standout is Wednesday morning, September 2nd. Glassy conditions, a light offshore from the west-southwest, and a 1.3m groundswell from the southeast with a longer 11-second period. The energy is moderate (450). This is the cleanest morning of the first week—fun, uncrowded, and worth the early alarm.
Thursday morning, September 3rd, is another good one. A clean 1.2m swell from the east-southeast (10 seconds) with a light offshore. Moderate energy (277). Solid shape.
After that, it fades. Friday and Saturday are small and choppy. Then Sunday, September 6th, brings a big jump—2.5m to 3.0m from the south-southeast—but with cross-onshore winds and heavy energy (1802 to 3297). That’s for experts only, and it’s going to be messy. Probably better suited to kite surfers than paddlers.
In the second week, Tuesday morning, September 8th, is the highlight. A 1.2m swell from the southeast with a long 14-second period, light offshore from the west, and clean conditions. Moderate energy (524). That’s a proper groundswell—good shape and decent power.
Saturday, September 12th, finishes things off nicely. Glassy conditions, a 1.0m east-southeast swell (10 seconds), and moderate energy (386). Light offshore and clean in the afternoon. A mellow way to wrap up.
The two best calls are Wednesday morning, September 2nd, and Tuesday morning, September 8th. Navegantes is a very consistent spot, so even when it’s flat, it won’t stay that way long. Keep watching the forecasts.

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.

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.
