Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Navegantes over the next couple of weeks in feet and miles per hour.

The ocean’s a bit unsettled to start. The early days are a write-off for any decent paddle.

First real chance of a surfable wave comes Friday, July 3rd. There's a 7ft south swell pushing in, but the wind is up from the ESE at 3 mph and it's onshore. The water's at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. The swell energy is moderate (1198), but the whole setup is marginal – messy, choppy, and the tide might be playing games. This one’s more for the hardcore or the kite crew.

The weekend of July 4th actually turns glassy. Saturday morning and afternoon, and Sunday morning, all show glassy conditions with the wind dropping out or coming light from the southwest, northeast, and west. Swell drops right off though, to under 3ft from the southeast. It’s clean and pretty, but small – 3ft to 3ft with a nice 12-second period. Good for a longboard, but don't expect to get your hood pulled over your head.

Things go pretty flat and ordinary through the week of July 6th to the 9th. Swell heights are mostly under 3ft, and the winds are a mix of cross and light onshore. You’ll see a little spike Tuesday July 7th with a 5ft SSE swell, but it's short-period (8 seconds) and cross-onshore. It’s surfable but very ordinary.

Now, the first standouts start shaping up the weekend of July 11th and 12th. Navegantes itself is the place to be.

Saturday July 11th morning: Glassy conditions, light WNW wind, and 3ft of ESE swell at 10 seconds. Clean, small, fun for a cruiser.

The real standout is Sunday July 12th. Both morning and afternoon have a solid 4ft ESE swell, 12-13 second period, and the wind goes light from the NNW – cross-offshore both sessions. That's the ticket. The swell energy is building: 614 in the morning, 722 in the afternoon. This is the best-looking run of the whole forecast. It’s not a monster, but the quality is there. Expect very good, clean surf. Crowds are *sometimes* a factor at Navegantes, so on a Sunday like this it could be busy.

Monday July 13th morning keeps it clean, but the swell drops. The second week, July 15th onwards, is a mix of tiny swell and unsorted wind. The only real blip of hope is Friday July 17th. Both morning and afternoon go glassy with a 4ft east swell. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it won't be the most powerful wave, but it’ll be clean and rideable.

Overall, don't hold your breath for the first few days. The weekend of July 11th-12th is your best bet, especially Sunday the 12th. After that, it’s small and ordinary, with a possible clean session on Friday the 17th.

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.

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.
