The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Navegantes. This is a beach and jetty setup that’s exposed to the swell, and it’s a very consistent spot. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some real windows of clean surf to aim for. Thursday morning, the 27th of August, is a solid start – we’ve got a 3ft SE groundswell running with a 14-second period, and a light NW cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (424), and it’s glassy clean. That’s a good one.

Friday and Saturday mornings are worth a look too, but the quality drops. Friday morning the 28th is a smaller 4ft ENE swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is cross, so it’s a bit messy. Saturday morning the 29th is better: 5ft ENE swell with a glassy, no-wind surface. That’s clean, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, so don’t expect much push.

Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st both have some clean windows. Monday morning is particularly nice – 4ft ENE swell, 9-second period, glassy, and the energy is moderate (244). That’s a proper little session.

Then we hit a good run. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is a standout: 3ft ESE swell, 9-second period, clean offshore wind from the W, and moderate energy (355). The swell direction is bang on what this spot likes (SE), and it’s clean. Wednesday the 2nd morning is also excellent – 3ft SE swell, 11-second period, offshore WSW wind, and clean. Small but well-shaped.

After that, things go quiet. Thursday the 3rd through Saturday the 5th of September are mostly poor or very ordinary, with tiny swell and weak energy (under 100). There’s a bit of a gap until the next real event.

Now, look ahead to the 8th of September (Tuesday morning). That’s a promising one. We’ve got a 6ft ENE swell, 9-second period, cross-offshore WNW wind, and strong energy (601). The forecast says “very good surf conditions.” It’s a bigger swell – over 5ft but under 8ft, so it’s not for beginners, but intermediates will be fine. The wind will keep it clean. That’s the best of the longer-range forecast, though it’s still a way off so keep an eye on it.

The 11th of September (Friday morning) also shows a glassy 3ft SE groundswell with a long 13-second period and strong energy (657). That’s a clean, long-period swell that’ll wrap in nicely – but again, it’s a week and a half away, so don’t lock it in yet.

Bottom line: this week, aim for Thursday morning, Monday morning, and Tuesday morning. Next week, watch the 8th and 11th. This spot is consistent, so even when it’s quiet, it usually picks up again.

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.
