The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, checkin' in with the outlook for our local stretch. We've got a bit of a slow starter, but there's some real promise on the horizon.
Right now, the water's sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want an extra mil or two of rubber.
The first week is pretty quiet. We're looking at small, clean conditions early on, but nothing that's gonna get the heart rate up. The real standout action is definitely in the second week.
The big winner looks like Wednesday morning, July 22nd. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The swell is coming from the SE at 4ft, with a 12-second period. That's a nice long-period groundswell that will wrap in with some real push. The energy is a solid 504 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is forecast to be glassy. That's a dream combo. It’s a real standout day for intermediate surfers looking for clean, lined-up waves.
After that, the swell hangs around but the wind gets tricky. The next real highlight is Sunday morning, July 26th. We've got a solid 7ft swell from the East with a 9-second period, and the wind is dead calm, glassy. The energy jumps up to 966 (strong wave energy). This is a bigger day, right on the edge of expert territory. It's a powerful swell, so it'll be a proper paddle, but with zero wind, it could be some of the best, most powerful waves of the entire run.
Then, Monday morning, July 27th, the wind swings offshore from the WNW, cleaning up a 6ft Easterly swell (611 energy). That's another gem for the experienced crew.
Take it easy, 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.
