The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty average, with no real standouts. The energy is just not there. We’re looking at weak wave energy across the board, with combined energy values staying well under 100 for the most part, only occasionally bumping into the low to mid 100s. That’s not enough to get excited about.
Things kick off on Monday the 27th of July, but it’s not worth paddling out for. Navegantes is seeing a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE at 8 seconds, with a combined energy of only 66. That’s weak. The wind is cross-off in the morning, which is okay, but the swell is just too small. The afternoon turns into a cross-on mess. That pattern basically holds for the next few days: small, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, with periods under 8 seconds and combined energy often below 100. There’s a glassy moment on Wednesday morning the 29th, with 2ft from the ENE and no wind, but again, it’s tiny.
The best we get in the first week is on Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the east at 8 seconds, combined energy hits 152 (moderate), and it’s glassy. That’s actually the cleanest conditions of the whole run. Navegantes is a beach/jetty setup, so on a glassy day like that, it’ll be small but rideable. The water temp is around 66°, which is about average for the time of year. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best option in a weak period.
Into the second week, things get a bit more interesting but still not great. On Thursday the 6th of August, the swell jumps to 3ft from the SE at 10 seconds, which is a longer period groundswell, and combined energy hits 200 (moderate). That’s actually the highest energy of the whole forecast. But the wind is a problem: 20 km/h cross-on in the afternoon makes it choppy and messy. Definitely not a surfer’s day. The next morning, Friday the 7th, is glassy with a 2ft swell from the ENE, but the swell is too small to really count.
A late call on Saturday the 8th of August morning: a 2ft swell from the ENE at 7 seconds, with a light offshore wind from the WNW and clean conditions. Combined energy is 96, still weak. It's a small window, but if you're desperate, it’s the best looking session in the second week.
There’s a long, dull stretch from the 9th through the 11th of August. The swells stay below 3ft, periods are short, and the wind either goes cross-on or onshore. Not worth the paddle.
Look, there are no true standouts here. The surf is small and inconsistent across the entire 16-day window. For a spot like Navegantes, a blank run like this isn’t that unusual. The only real advice? Keep an eye on Tuesday the 4th of August morning for the glassy 3ft east swell, and maybe the Saturday the 8th morning for the clean offshore breeze. Everything else is just flat or blown out. If you’re into kiting, some of those afternoons with 3ft chop and stronger cross-on winds might be more your thing than mine.
Stay patient,
Rusty

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.
