The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Navegantes.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a little window of decent surf opening up on Friday morning, July 24th. The swell is coming in from the southeast at a tidy 4ft, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 237. The real kicker here is the wind – it’s glassy, dead calm from the WSW, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. Water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year. This is the standout session of the whole run, no question. It’s a beach/jetty setup, so with that 10-second period, it should have a bit of push and shape, but it won’t be too heavy for the average intermediate.

From Friday afternoon onward, things take a dip. The swell drops to 3ft on Saturday morning, July 25th, with a cross-offshore wind from the WNW, keeping it somewhat clean, but the combined energy drops to 191 and the period shortens to 9 seconds. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. Saturday afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore wind from the ENE, and the conditions turn marginal.

Sunday, July 26th, the swell drops further to 3ft and the period tightens up to 8 seconds, with only 160 energy. The morning is clean with a cross-off NW breeze, but it’s weak. Afternoon gets a light cross-shore wind and some rain, which is a write-off.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From Monday, July 27th, all the way through to the end of the first week of August, the swell is tiny – mostly 2ft to 3ft, with periods all over the place from 5 to 8 seconds, and energy rarely cracking 100. There are a few glassy moments here and there, like Tuesday morning July 28th and Friday afternoon July 31st, but the waves are just too small to bother with. It’s a long stretch of very ordinary, poor, or marginal conditions.

There is a faint glimmer around Monday, August 3rd, when the swell energy jumps back to 152 with a 3ft, 8-second swell from the ENE, and the wind is clean cross-offshore from the NNW. That’s a “surfable” call, but again, it’s small. The conditions are clean, but you’ll be scratching for a ride.

The best of the second week is likely Saturday morning, August 8th, with a 3ft, 7-second swell from the east, a clean cross-offshore NW wind, and 135 energy. It’s nothing special, but compared to the rest of the week, it’s the pick of a poor bunch. Keep in mind, this is a long-range call, so treat it as promising but not locked in.

Overall, this is a tough forecast for Navegantes. There’s one true standout on Friday morning, July 24th, and then a whole lot of flat or weak, messy conditions. If you’re desperate, the glassy, clean moments on the small days might give you a longboard session, but don’t expect much. For the experienced crew, the swell is never big enough to be a problem, but it’s also never big enough to get the heart rate up.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
