The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s going on for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. There’s barely a wave worth paddling out for until Monday the 10th of August. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is constantly messing things up – cross-shore or onshore, with a lot of chop. Even where we get a clean window, like the glassy spell on Tuesday morning the 4th, the swell is just too small (2 ft) to get excited about. You’d be bobbing around on nothing.
Things start to get a little more interesting around midday on Monday the 10th of August. We finally get a bump of swell from the SSE, pushing to 4 ft in the afternoon. The wind swings light SW, cleaning it right up, and the wave energy jumps to a solid moderate 231. It’s not huge, but it’s the first real surfable option we’ve seen in days.
The standout, without a doubt, is Tuesday morning the 11th of August. The SSE swell builds to 6 ft, the wind goes glassy with a slight air from the SW, and the combined energy hits a very strong 677. That’s proper groundswell energy, feeling its way in. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not a long-period draggy beast, it’ll have some push and shape. With those clean conditions, the morning session at Navegantes is the pick of the whole outlook. Just keep an eye on the crowds, it can get busy here.
After that, the swell turns a bit weird. The afternoon of the 11th drops right off, and we get a big, strong S/SSE swell building from the 13th. On Thursday the 13th of August, we’re looking at 6 ft to 7 ft swell from the South with very strong energy (1097 to 1645), but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SSE, making it messy and tough to handle. That sort of size at Navegantes, with that wind and a chunky cross-chop, is really only going to be for the experts, or even more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session. The long 13-14 second period on that big swell is best suited to a point break or reef, not the beach setup here, so it’ll be fat and mushy close to shore, or closing out.
Later, on Saturday morning the 15th of August, we get a reprieve. The swell drops to 3 ft from the SE, but the wind goes glassy from the NW, and the energy is still moderate at 237 from that lingering groundswell. It’ll be glassy, clean, and small – a nice mellow session if you’re keen, but not a stand-out.
For water temps at Navegantes, on the 1st of August it’s 66°. The anomaly is +0.7°, so it’s pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – not a shocker, just standard.
Summing it up: the real day to circle is Tuesday the 11th of August, early morning. That’s your best chance for clean, head-high-plus surf with proper energy. The big stuff on the 13th is for the fearless or for the foilers and kite crew. Otherwise, the first ten days are a waiting game.

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.
