The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, checking in on the Navegantes stretch. We've got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there's a definite standout to get excited about if you're comfortable on a bigger board.
Right now, we're coming off a quiet spell. The water here at Navegantes is sitting at 67°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first few days are a bit of a write-off with poor conditions and small, weak energy (around 141) on Sunday, and only marginal stuff through Monday and Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon, the 1st of September, is where things start to perk up. We get a clean 5ft swell from the SE with a cross-off wind, and the energy jumps to 576. That's a solid, surfable wave, but it's not the best of the run.
Then comes the real highlight. If you can get out there on the morning of Sunday, the 6th of September, you're in for a treat. The combined energy is a massive 1146, driven by a solid 7ft swell from the south. That's a fair bit of grunt, and with a 10-second period, it's got some proper shape to it. The wind is clean and cross-off, so the surface will be pristine. That's excellent surf for experienced surfers, no doubt about it. The 7ft size means it's not for the beginners, but for the crew who know what they're doing, that's the session to circle on the calendar.
After that, the energy drops off pretty quickly. The second week looks patchy. There are a few glassy mornings, like the 11th of September, but the swell is tiny (2ft) and the energy is weak. The rest of the period is mostly plagued by poor conditions and onshore winds. There's a glimmer on the 14th of September with a 6ft swell from the east, but the energy is moderate (505) and the cross-onshore wind will mess up the surface. It's a long way out, so it's a watch-and-see, but it's probably not worth holding your breath for.
So, to sum it up: the early days are a bit of a waste, but lock in that Sunday the 6th of September morning for the big, clean swell. The rest is mostly small and choppy.
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.
