The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Navegantes has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

First thing to know – the water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a big deal, but it’s nice to have that little extra warmth when you’re sitting out there waiting.

We’re starting off pretty grim. Saturday the 5th through Sunday the 6th is a write-off. Small, crummy waves, only around 2 ft to 3 ft from the ENE and SSE, with cross or cross-onshore winds. The combined wave energy is weak (128 on Saturday morning), and it’s just poor surf. Don’t bother. There’s a real gap at the start here – you’re looking at a couple of days with nothing worth paddling out for.

Monday the 7th gets a little more interesting. Swell picks up to 6 ft from the south (period 9 seconds) and the combined energy jumps to 662 (moderate). But, it’s only rated as marginal with cross-shore wind. It’s surfable for experienced guys, but nothing to get excited about. The afternoon drops off quick to 2 ft.

Tuesday morning the 8th is small but clean. Glassy offshore from the WSW and waves around 2 ft from the SE. Surfable but very ordinary—more of a longboard or funboard session. Energy is only 93.

Finally, Wednesday morning the 9th is where we start to see some life. Offshore wind from the NW, waves at 4 ft from the east (8-second period), combined energy at 299 (moderate). Clean conditions. It’s surfable, ordinary but not bad.

Then Thursday morning the 10th is a standout for the first week. Glassy, dead calm, with 3 ft waves from the east, period 8 seconds. Combined energy is 355 (moderate). That’s clean, fun, small-wave surfing. Very nice.

The rest of that week and into the next is mostly poor to marginal with cross-onshore winds. But mark your calendars for Monday the 14th. That morning, Navegantes will be pumping for experienced surfers. Swell hits 7 ft from the ESE with a long period of 11 seconds, and combined energy rockets up to 1237 (strong). Winds are light cross-offshore from the southwest, so it’ll be clean. That’s the best on offer in the whole outlook – a real standout. It’s solidly in expert territory at that size, so only head out if you’ve got the skill. For beginners, that’s way too big.

Tuesday the 15th still has decent 5 ft surf from the ESE with clean cross-off winds in the morning. Combined energy at 476 – still solid. After that, it fades into a mix of choppy cross-shore and onshore winds through the 16th and 17th, with waves hanging around 3 ft to 4 ft but messy.

The very end of the window, around the 18th to 20th, looks poor again. Small, wind-affected waves and onshore flow. Nothing to plan a trip for.

Bottom line: first week is a slow grind, but Thursday the 10th gives you a clean, glassy little peak. The real gem is Monday the 14th for the experienced crew – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. Everything else is pretty ordinary.

Stay salty,
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.
