The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for Navegantes.
Right off the bat, it's a bit of a slow start. We've got some small, wind-affected dribble on Sunday the 13th that's best left for the kite surfers. It's not really a paddle surfer's day.
The first real chance to get wet starts to shape up on Monday the 14th. Monday morning brings in a clean 4.3ft SSE swell with light winds, and it builds through the afternoon to a solid 4.9ft SSE groundswell with an 11-second period. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The wave energy climbs to a moderate 531, and with those light, clean conditions, Monday afternoon is a genuine standout. The break is a beach/jetty setup, so the long-period groundswell might make it a bit fat, but it’s the best on offer.
Tuesday the 15th looks good early too – clean 4.3ft waves from the east on the morning glass-off, but the wind swings onshore by the afternoon and spoils it.
The middle of the week gets messy with onshore winds and smaller surf, but we see glimmers of hope. Thursday the 17th has glassy 2.6ft waves from the SE, but it's small and weak.
The next real highlight is a run from Saturday the 20th through Tuesday the 22nd. It’s not huge, but we get clean conditions. Monday the 21st morning is a beauty – a clean 3.9ft E swell with light offshore wind and moderate wave energy (221). Tuesday the 22nd holds clean 4.3ft E swell with light offshore winds, and then a bizarre glass-off in the afternoon with zero wind. That's a rare treat for Navegantes.
After that, it drops off again into smaller, wind-affected surf until the end of the period. The very last morning on Monday the 28th shows some promise with a clean 4.6ft E swell and cross-off winds, so keep an eye on that one. Crowds at Navegantes can be a thing, but with this inconsistent run, you might have it more to yourself on the clean days.

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.
Navegantes is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Navegantes. If you plan a holiday in Santa Catarina - Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Navegantes. Navegantes has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
