The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off Wednesday morning, the 26th of August, and it’s looking like a tasty little window for the intermediate crew. The first few days are the standout of the whole period, so don’t sleep on it.

Wednesday morning, August 26th – This is the pick of the bunch. At Navegantes, we’ve got a 4 ft swell rolling in from the southeast, with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, packing a punch with moderate wave energy (577). The wind is glassy – dead calm from the northwest at 3 mph. That means the surface will be like a mirror. Conditions are set to be excellent. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. This is a beach and jetty setup, exposed to the swell, and it’s very consistent, so you won’t be waiting long. Just keep an eye out – crowds are possible here sometimes.

Thursday morning, August 27th – Another good one. Swell drops slightly to 3 ft, still from the southeast, with a long period of 14 seconds (440 energy). Winds are glassy again from the northwest at 3 mph. Clean, clean, clean.

Friday morning, August 28th – The swell shifts to the east-northeast at 5 ft, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds (271 energy). It’s a cross-offshore wind from the north-northwest at 6 mph, so the surf will be clean. Fun for a frolic, but not the same quality as the earlier groundswell.

Saturday morning, August 29th – Similar setup: 5 ft from the east-northeast, short period of 8 seconds (243 energy). Glassy winds from the southwest at 3 mph. Clean again.

Sunday morning, August 30th – Swell backs off to 4 ft from the east, period 9 seconds (195 energy). Light cross-offshore wind. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Monday morning, August 31st – Back to 4 ft from the east-northeast, period 9 seconds (223 energy). Glassy conditions with light rain. It’ll be clean and fun.

Tuesday morning, September 1st – A pulse of 6 ft from the south-southeast, but with a short period of 7 seconds (481 energy). That’s a bit of a messy one, but it’s glassy from the south at 3 mph. Gives you something to do.

Wednesday morning, September 2nd – Dropping to 3 ft from the southeast, period 10 seconds (375 energy). Completely glassed out with zero wind. Clean, small, and fun.

Thursday, September 3rd through Saturday, September 5th – Surf dries up quickly. The energy drops into the double digits (148 to 44), with weak, disorganized swell. Not worth paddling out.

Sunday, September 6th – A little bump of 4 ft from the east-northeast, but the period is a weak 6 seconds (121 energy). Glassy conditions, but it’s mostly wind swell. Very ordinary.

Monday morning, September 7th – Now we’re talking again. A solid 6 ft from the east-northeast, period 7 seconds (571 energy). Glassy winds from the south-southwest. This could be a fun one for the morning session.

Tuesday morning, September 8th – Swell holds at 5 ft from the east, period 8 seconds (312 energy). Glassy conditions. Clean, but that short period keeps it from being a true standout.

Wednesday morning, September 9th – This is the big one for the second week, but it’s a long way out. A 8 ft swell from the south, period 9 seconds (1209 energy). That’s strong wave energy, and it’s glassy from the north-northwest. This is for experienced surfers only – 8 ft is not beginner territory. The wind will be offshore and clean, but the swell is punchy. Keep an eye on this, but don’t book the plane ticket yet.

Thursday morning, September 10th – A nice follow-up: 4 ft from the southeast, with a very long period of 14 seconds (544 energy). Glassy winds from the north-northeast. Could be a gem if the long-range forecast holds.

Overall, the first three mornings are the true standouts. After that, there’s a gap of nearly a week with weak surf, but the second week shows promise, especially the 9th for the experienced crew.

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.
