The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what we've got for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temp is sitting at a warm 68°F, which is a touch warmer than what you'd normally expect for this time of year. That's a nice little bonus.
Right out of the gate, it's a bit of a slow start. The early part of the week is looking pretty ordinary. Sunday (September 6th) has a tiny 2.3ft SSE swell with a short 6-second period and a cross wind, not worth paddling out. The afternoon bumps up to 6.2ft but it's choppy and cross-onshore.
Monday the 7th morning might offer a slight glimmer with a 5.2ft SSE swell at 10 seconds, but it's only rated as marginal. The wind is a light cross-shore. It's a "maybe" if you're desperate, but nothing to write home about. After that, we hit a few days of tiny, weak surf.
Wednesday the 9th morning is where things start to look a bit more interesting. We get a clean 3.9ft E swell with a light cross-offshore wind from the WNW, and the wave energy is moderate (221). It's surfable and clean, a definite improvement.
The real standout, and the best session on offer, looks like it'll be Monday the 14th of September afternoon. The swell jumps to a solid 5.9ft from the ESE with a moderate 756 energy reading, and the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the NNW, cleaning things right up. Conditions are forecast to be very good. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
The following week holds a bit of promise too. Saturday the 19th is looking like another potential highlight. The morning kicks off with a clean 5.2ft ENE swell under glassy conditions, and the afternoon is even better: 6.2ft from the ENE, glassy calm with the wind dropping to zero, and very good conditions. The wave energy is strong at 781. Just be aware that heavy rain is forecast, so you'll be surfing in a tropical shower.
Overall, Navegantes has a slow start but there are two clear windows of quality surf: the afternoon of Monday the 14th and the Saturday the 19th. The rest of the time is a mix of small, weak, or choppy conditions.

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.
