The Lowdown
Alright, let's look at what's shaping up for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.
The start of the period is pretty quiet. Monday and Tuesday morning will see some small, weak waves, maybe 2 to 3 feet from the ENE, but with very weak energy and short, 7-second periods. Tuesday afternoon does show a little pulse of longer-period 12-second swell from the SE, but the wind goes cross-on and the surf stays tiny. Not much to get excited about.
Wednesday and Thursday mornings are glassy or clean with light offshore winds, but the swell is still small – around 2 feet – and the energy stays low. Thursday morning has a slight bump in energy, but honestly, it’s all pretty ordinary. Friday morning brings a clean 3-foot wave from the ENE under light offshore wind, but nothing that’ll have you calling in sick.
Now, let’s talk standouts. Saturday, August 8th, is where it gets interesting. The morning shows a 2-foot groundswell from the SE with a *very long* 19-second period. The energy jumps to moderate and the wind is glassy. That combo will produce some really clean, lined-up waves, especially for a beach/jetty break like Navegantes. Saturday afternoon is even better: flat calm, glassy conditions, 2-foot swell from the SE with a 16-second period. This is the pick of the first week – small but classy, glassy, and with real push for the size. Keep in mind, though, with crowds listed as "sometimes," you might have some company for these clean, long-period waves.
The second half of the period sees a bit more size but less quality. Sunday, August 9th afternoon brings a 4-foot SSE swell with a 14-second period and strong energy, but it’s cross-on and choppy – better left for the kite crew than a paddle session. The following Monday morning (August 10th) has similar 4-foot SSE swell, but the period drops to 6 seconds and the wind is cross-shore with chop. Not great.
Toward the end of the run, we get another possible highlight. Monday, August 17th morning shows a clean 5-foot easterly swell with 8-second period, light offshore wind, and glassy conditions. This is the best size and quality combo in the second week, but it’s quite far out, so treat it as a promising maybe. The rest of that week is small and choppy again.
Overall, the standout window is Saturday, August 8th, with those glassy, long-period SE swells. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s mostly small, average, or messy. It’s not a total blank – there are a few clean windows for small-wave gear – but the real quality is concentrated on that one Saturday.

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.
Navegantes is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Navegantes. If you plan a holiday in Santa Catarina - Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Navegantes. Navegantes has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
