The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s in store for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.

First thing you’ll notice is a bit of a slow start. The surf isn’t really offering much until Thursday morning, September 3rd. We get a pulse of 4ft of ESE groundswell rolling in with an 11-second period. The combined swell energy is sitting at 370 (moderate), and the wind is a light cross-off from the NNW at 6 mph. The water is sitting at 68°F which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year – nothing wild, but definitely a touch more comfortable than usual. The sets will be clean, and that makes this the best window in the early part of the forecast.

After that, things get messy. From Thursday afternoon right through to Monday morning, September 7th, it’s a write-off. Winds turn onshore or cross, swell drops right off, and the combined energy plummets into the 100s. You’ll be looking at small, choppy, cross-on junk. There’s a 5-day gap there where there’s nothing worth paddling out for.

Monday morning, September 7th, offers a bit of a reprieve. The swell is 4ft from the SE at 9 seconds, and the wind swings to a light cross-off from the SW at 3 mph. The combined energy is 190 (weak), but the conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

The next real standout comes on Wednesday morning, September 9th. This is the one to circle. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NE, with a combined energy of 538 (moderate-strong). The wind is glassy out of the West at 3 mph. That means zero wind, dead clean, and proper walls. The sets will have some punch – it’s not huge, but it’s a step up and the quality is there. Keep in mind the period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a windswell, not a groundswell.

The next genuine highlight is Tuesday morning, September 15th. We’ve got a 6ft SSE swell with a combined energy of 570 (moderate-strong). The wind is a light cross-off from the WSW at 3 mph, giving us clean conditions. This is a solid, powerful wave for intermediate and above, and it’s the best size of the whole run. Any bigger and it’d be pulling too hard.

Finally, Thursday afternoon, September 17th, is a weird but interesting one. The swell is tiny at 2ft, but it’s from the SE with a very long 18-second period. Combined energy is 393 (moderate). The wind is glassy out of the SSE at 3 mph. For a long-period groundswell that small, it’ll be super clean and walled-up at the jetty, but the wait between sets will be long. It’s a session for the patient surfer.

The only other notable mention is Monday afternoon, September 14th, where we see a 10ft spike from the South with a combined energy of 1361 (very strong). But the wind is cross-on from the NE at 6 mph, and the conditions are rated marginal. That’s a big, messy, dangerous wall of water. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – too much power with the wrong wind.

So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Wednesday morning, September 9th for the clean, glassy conditions on the 5ft NE swell, and Tuesday morning, September 15th for the size and power of that 6ft SSE swell with clean cross-off wind. The rest is mostly small, choppy, or blown out.

Stay stoked, and keep an eye on the charts.

Rusty.

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.
