Table - best surf conditions forecast for Navegantes over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Navegantes in feet and miles per hour.
Water temp is about normal for the season. The main swell is coming from the ENE, a short-period wind swell, so it’s not the most powerful stuff, but it’s consistent.
Sunday the 16th starts with 6ft of ENE swell, but the wind is cross-shore, making it messy. By afternoon it drops to 5ft and gets choppy. Not worth it.
First real standout is Tuesday morning, the 18th. Clean, cross-offshore breeze, 4ft of ENE swell. The energy is light (222), but the conditions are smooth. It’s a beach/jetty, so crowds are possible. Good for intermediates.
Wednesday morning the 19th is also clean, but the swell is down to 3ft and energy is weak (151). Surfable, but ordinary.
The next big highlight is Thursday morning, the 27th. Glassy, offshore wind from the WNW, with 4ft of E swell. Energy jumps to 370 (moderate), period is 8 seconds. Clean and punchy.
Friday morning the 28th is glassy again, with 4ft of ESE swell, energy at 353 (moderate). Clean.
The best of the lot is Saturday morning, the 29th. Dead calm, glassy, with 4ft of ESE swell. Energy is 371 (moderate), period is 9 seconds. This is the one to aim for – clean, fun, and the crowds will be out.
After that, the 30th and 31st stay clean but the swell fades to 4ft and 3ft. Surfable, but nothing special.
The first week is a bit rough, but the 18th and the 27th-29th are your best bets. Hang loose.

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.
