The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s run through what’s cooking at Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a pretty solid run of surf coming up at this beach and jetty spot, which is wide open to the SE swell. Water temp is about what you’d expect for late August, nothing out of the ordinary. The first few days are the real deal – clean, glassy mornings with a nice long-period groundswell pushing in. The combined wave energy is strong early on, reading between 206 and 691, so there’s plenty of power in the water.
The session to circle is Wednesday morning, August 26th. You’re looking at 4ft SE swell with a long 15-second period, and glassy WNW wind. That’s clean, lined-up surf, and the energy reading is 577 – you’ll feel it. Also worth a paddle is Tuesday morning, August 25th, with 3ft SE swell, 13 seconds, and glassy conditions; a nice warm-up.
Later Wednesday afternoon the wind goes cross-shore and things get messy. Thursday morning the 27th still has clean glassy conditions on a 3ft SE swell, but the energy drops a bit. By Friday the 28th, the swell swings ENE and the period drops to a short 8 seconds – that’s weak and choppy, with the wind turning against you. Saturday morning the 29th is glassy again on a 5ft ENE swell, but that short period still means lumpy, unsurfable waves for most.
The following week, starting around September 1st, gets patchy. There’s a clean moment on Wednesday morning September 3rd with 2ft SE swell and offshore WNW wind, but it’s small and ordinary. Sunday the 6th sees another pulse: 5ft NE swell with glassy SSW wind, but it’s short period again at 7 seconds, so it’ll be fast and closing out. Not a standout.
Overall, the first week has two standout mornings – Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th. After that, it’s a lot of waiting around for clean windows in between wind shifts. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” so you might see a few locals but nothing crazy. If you can get on it midweek, you’ll be rewarded.
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.
