The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown for Navegantes.
First off, the opening week is a total bummer. Saturday the 12th is a washout with 2ft of weak, short-period, onshore junk, and it doesn't get much better for a few days. You'll be kicking it on the beach for that one.
We get one little flicker on Sunday morning the 13th. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the south, and the wind goes light offshore, cleaning it right up. It's not massive, but it's your best bet in a poor run. The energy is moderate (291), but the period is short at 7 seconds, so it's lacking any real grunt. Good for a quick session, though.
Then it's back to the grind. From Monday through the following Saturday, it's mostly flat or choppy. You'll see some chest-high waves, like Tuesday morning the 15th with 3ft, but the conditions are just "very ordinary." The energy is weak to moderate most days, so unless you're jonesing for a paddle, I'd sit it out.
Now, here’s the good news. The real standout is Tuesday the 22nd of September. The wind goes offshore from the west, and it stays clean all day. The swell drops to 3ft, but it has an 11-second period from the southeast, giving it a solid push for this beach/jetty setup. The energy is strong (251 in the morning, 246 in the afternoon). This is the day to mark on your calendar. It won't be big, but it will be clean, well-shaped, and lightyears better than everything else. Expect some company in the water, but it’ll be worth it.
Wednesday the 23rd keeps the offshore breeze, but the swell fades. Still a nice morning for a cruise.
Then Thursday the 24th, don't be fooled. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SSE, and the energy is massive (690), but the wind swings onshore from the northeast in the afternoon. That is a choppy, blown-out mess. That kind of power with onshore wind at a beach break is a recipe for a washing machine. Good for kite surfers, not for a paddle.
There’s one last whisper on Friday morning the 25th: 3ft from the SE, a clean 13-second groundswell with light cross-offshore wind. The energy is strong (307) and it will be glassy. Just keep in mind that a long-period groundswell from the southeast at a beach break can be a bit fast and straight. It won't barrel like a reef or point, but it will still be a fun, clean wave.
Wrap your head around that. Tuesday the 22nd is your best bet for the cleanest, most consistent fun. Friday morning the 25th is a solid backup if you miss it.
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.

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.
