The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Navegantes.
Honestly, the next week and a half is pretty flat and ordinary. We've got a real dry spell in the mix. From Thursday the 23rd of July right through to the morning of Friday the 7th of August, there's nothing that's really worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the conditions are just average at best. The wave energy is weak, sitting between 47 and 188 (moderate energy at best), so don't expect any punch.
The real standout, the only one worth getting excited about, is the morning of Friday the 7th of August. That's the first proper glimmer of hope. Navegantes is looking at a clean 3ft swell from the SE with a period of 10 seconds, pushing the wave energy up to a solid 205 (moderate energy). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNW, which will keep the surface clean. It's not huge, but after such a long wait, it's a welcome sight. The water temp is about average for this time of year at 65°, so nothing weird there.
Keep in mind, Navegantes is a beach/jetty setup here, and it's very consistent. When it's this flat for so long, it's a bit of a bummer, but it tends not to stay this way forever. The crowd factor is only "sometimes" an issue, so on that Friday morning, if you're keen, you might have a bit of room. Just don't expect anything for the next two weeks.
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.
