The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
First up, Navegantes. It’s a slow start to the period. The first few days are small and messy. Monday the 20th has some glassy morning conditions with 4ft of ENE swell, but it’s short period at 8 seconds, so it’s pretty weak. The water is 65°, which is normal for the season.
The real highlight is Sunday the 26th. That morning, Navegantes is looking good with a solid 5ft of ESE swell, period stretching to 9 seconds, and a clean offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy is 403 (moderate), so there’s some real punch. This is the best session in the whole window – clean, decent size, and the wind is cooperating. Crowds are possible.
Before that, Friday the 24th has a bump in energy with a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind is cross-shore and messy, so it’s not worth chasing.
After the 26th, it’s a slow fade. The rest of the week is mostly small, weak, and inconsistent. Tuesday the 28th morning has a clean offshore wind with a 3ft ESE swell at 10 seconds, but it’s small. The rest of the days are a mix of glassy mornings and onshore chop, with wave heights dropping below 3ft and combined energy falling into the weak double digits. Not much to get excited about.
Bottom line: Sunday the 26th is your day. The rest is for the longboard or a paddle.
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.
