The Lowdown

Gather 'round, crew. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Navegantes over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sittin' right around average for this time of year, so nothin' weird there. It's a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest – we've got a few windows of clean, glassy conditions, but plenty of onshore junk to sift through. The first few days are a write-off for a proper session, but there's a couple of days that stand out if you're patient.

The week kicks off with a real slow start. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are just not worth paddlin' out – super small, weak energy (combined swell energy in the 28-91 range), and the wind is all over the place. You're lookin' at maybe a tiny waist-high ripple on Friday afternoon with glassy conditions, but it's just not enough to get excited about.

Then things get a bit more interestin' on Saturday the 22nd. The swell bumps up to a solid 6 ft from the S with a 10-second period, and the combined energy takes a huge jump to 716 (moderate). That's a proper push for the beach/jetty setup. But – and it's a big but – the wind is a light cross-onshore on Saturday morning, which will put a bit of a wrinkle on the face. It's a marginal call, but there's definitely some size to play with for the more experienced crew. Saturday afternoon sees it drop back down.

Now, Monday the 24th is where the real highlight sits. The size is a solid 4 ft from the SE, and the period stretches out to 14 seconds, then 16 seconds in the afternoon. That's a long-period groundswell, and combined energy is pumpin' at 788. The absolute gem is Monday afternoon – the wind goes glassy, and the wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions". That's the one you want to point your board at. With that long period, though, it might be a bit too straight for the beachbreak, but when it's glassy, it's a joy. The crowd is listed as "sometimes" here, so you might have a few mates out, but it won't be a zoo.

Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th keep the good vibes goin' with 3 ft and 2 ft SE swell, respectively, with long periods and glassy, clean conditions in the mornings. The energy is still moderate (357-550). These are solid, fun, everyday waves for the intermediate surfer.

The second week, from the 27th of August onwards, turns into a bit of a struggle. The swell drops off, the periods shorten, and the wind is a constant cross-on or cross-shore. The combined energy drops into the 100-300 range, which is weak to moderate. The wind keeps the surface messy, and the quality just isn't there. By the time we hit the 1st and 2nd of September, we're lookin' at a mix of light rain, onshore wind, and messy, weak swell. The 4th of September shows a 6 ft spike from the ENE, but with a short 7-second period and a cross-shore wind, it'll be a choppy, lumpy mess – more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day.

Bottom line: the standout is Monday afternoon, the 24th of August. The 4 ft SE swell with a 16-second period and glassy conditions will be the cleanest, most powerful waves of the whole forecast. Get out there. The mornings of Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are also very solid options. After that, it's a long, slow fade into onshore slop for the rest of the window.

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.
