The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming up for the Navegantes region.
Honestly, the next week and a half starts off pretty flat and forgettable. We’ve got a decent gap of small, weak surf for several days. The first session worth paddling out for doesn’t really show up until Saturday the 8th of August, and even then it’s not a home run. The energy is moderate, with a combined swell energy reading of 320, but the swell is coming in from the SE at 3ft with a really long 14-second period. That long period groundswell can make beach breaks close out or straighten out, so keep that in mind. The wind is light and cross-off from the NNW though, so it’ll be clean and glassy for the afternoon. A quiet option, maybe for the more patient surfer.
A true standout appears on Thursday the 13th of August. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the E with a short-period of 7 seconds, but the combined energy is pumping hard at 581. What really makes it special is the morning: glassy conditions with a light offshore wind from the WSW. That’ll make Navegantes’ beach/jetty setup look clean and fun. This is the best on offer. Thursday afternoon stays clean too with a cross-off breeze, and 5ft ENE swell (energy 433). Good back-to-back windows.
After that, things get messy again towards the weekend of the 15th and 16th. The swell jumps up over 7ft to 8ft from the ESE/E, pushing combined energy over 1000, but the wind turns onshore and moderate. That’s expert-only territory, and with cross-onshore chop, it’ll be a bumpy and heavy paddle. Might be more interesting for the kite crowd than the surf crew.
There is a little hope late in the window. On Wednesday the 19th of August, we get another clean, glassy morning thanks to a light NW wind (glass). The swell is 4ft from the E with a 10-second period and moderate energy of 300. Not huge, but with those conditions, it could be a super user-friendly session.
Water temp is running at 67° with a 0.7° anomaly, so around average for this time of year – a bit cool but nothing wild.
So, to wrap it up: the second week has a couple of windows, but the real gem is that Thursday the 13th morning. Get on it if you can.

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.
