The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. This is Rusty, checking in with the local outlook for Navegantes.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag over the next two weeks, but there are some windows of clean conditions to get excited about. The water is sitting at 63°F right now, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want to pull on the steamer for the morning sessions.
The main swell we’ll be working with comes from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. Nothing too groundswell-y, but it's consistent. The combined energy is moderate, sitting around 243 (moderate wave energy) for the best windows.
Let’s get into it. The standout period is the first few days. Friday morning, July 17th is your best bet. Swell is 4ft from the ENE, but the wind is glassy and from the NW. That’ll make for clean, smooth waves at Navegantes (beach/jetty). It’s a very consistent break, so you won’t be waiting long. Expect some crowds, but for conditions like this, it’s worth it.
Saturday morning, July 18th is also clean with a small 5ft ENE swell and nice cross-off winds from the NW. The energy picks up a bit to 233 (moderate wave energy). It’s a good follow-up to Friday.
Sunday morning, July 19th is surfable, but the conditions are just ordinary. The swell drops a touch to 4ft and the wind is still cross-off from the NW, so it’s clean, but nothing special.
We get another good run from Monday morning, July 20th through Tuesday morning, July 21st. Monday morning has 4ft ENE swell with clean, cross-off wind from the WNW. Tuesday morning is the real gem here: 4ft swell, glassy with a light W wind. That’s about as good as it gets for a dawn patrol.
After that, the size drops off. From Wednesday, July 22nd, the swell fades to under 3ft, and the conditions get messy with rain and onshore winds. There’s a long gap of days where it’s just not worth paddling out.
Then, on Sunday morning, July 26th, we see a shift. A new swell from the SE pops up, with a long period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 289 (moderate wave energy). The swell is only 2ft, but that long period can produce some lovely lines at the point and reef setup. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW. This is a promising long-range call, but keep your expectations in check.
The rest of the second week is a write-off with strong wind and poor conditions, except for a brief window on Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, where we get 4ft from the ENE with clean cross-off wind. The energy is 209 (moderate wave energy). It’s surfable, but not a standout.
All in all, get on it this Friday morning and Tuesday morning. The long-range Sunday the 26th is worth a look if you’re patient.

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.
