The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a mixed bag coming up for Navegantes – a decent run of cleaner, more organised surf later this weekend and into next week, but plenty of average days to sift through too. The water is sitting at about 68°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the 4/3 at home if you want.

Let’s start with the pick of the bunch: Saturday the 22nd. That morning shows a solid 6ft swell from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy out of the south. The combined swell energy is pumping at 848, and it’s set to be really good conditions – clean, decent size, and well overhead. This one’s for the intermediate crew though; beginners might find it a handful and the wave quality alone makes it the standout window. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the ESE and the surf drops right off.

Sunday the 23rd is more of a relaxed day – 2ft of SE groundswell with a 12-second period. That longer period will give you better shaped waves but longer waits. It’s glassy in the morning with no wind and clean, so a good chance for a quiet session if you’re happy with smaller waves.

Monday the 24th picks up a touch to 4ft from the SE, period stretching out to 14 seconds, and the combined energy hits 585. The cross-shore wind keeps it not quite clean, but it’s surfable and the big gaps between sets will make getting out the back easier. The afternoon has onshore breeze though, so stick to the morning window.

Tuesday the 25th is another glassy morning with a small 3ft SE swell – not much size, but with the period at 13 seconds it’ll be clean and fun on the inside. That afternoon also goes glassy, so you could log a session right through.

Wednesday the 26th looks really good again – 4ft from the SE, 14-second period, and a light SW cross-off wind in the morning cleaning it up nicely. The combined energy is a solid 509. Then the afternoon turns glassy too. Both windows are very good conditions, and this day sits just behind that Saturday for quality.

Thursday the 27th starts glassy again with 3ft of SE groundswell, but the wind swings cross-on by the afternoon and the quality drops. Pick that early window if you can.

Friday the 28th offers a 4ft ENE swell, short period at 8 seconds, but glassy conditions in the morning make it clean enough for a fun session. The afternoon goes onshore and windy, so not worth it.

The rest of the runs through to the end of August and start of September are mostly small and messy, but keep your eye on Saturday 5th September – a 6ft SSE swell with an 11-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy hits 1027 and it’s labelled as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s around 8 days away, so it’s promising but not locked in yet. If it holds, it’ll be the biggest and cleanest day on the whole outlook – expert territory for sure.

There’s no coast swap here – it’s all Navegantes. The consistent nature of the breaks showing up in the forecasts means it shouldn’t stay poor for long, and there’s enough clean windows to work with.

Stay stoked, keep an eye on that long-range Saturday, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
