The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's in store for you over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the standout is the early part of the outlook. Wednesday morning, the 26th of August, is the pick of the bunch. Navegantes is a beach and jetty setup, and it's very consistent. The water's sitting around 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. We've got a solid SE groundswell pushing in at 4 ft with a long 15-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 577. The wind is glassy from the WNW at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. This is the one to aim for if you can get out there.
Things stay okay for the rest of the week but don't quite match that Wednesday morning high. Thursday morning the 27th still has glassy conditions and a 3 ft SE swell, but the energy drops a bit. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th see the swell direction swing to the ENE, with a shorter 8-second period, but the mornings are glassy or cross-off with clean surf. The swell size sits around 5 ft, which is still very manageable. Keep an eye on the tide, though.
We hit a bit of a lull from Sunday the 30th through to the end of the first week. The wind turns onshore and the conditions get messy. Not worth paddling out, really.
The second week starts off with a glimmer of hope. Monday morning, the 31st of August, has glassy conditions again with a 4 ft E swell, but there's light rain around. Tuesday and Wednesday also look marginal with the wind not playing ball.
Then we get a proper gap. From Thursday the 3rd of September through to Sunday the 6th, the swell drops right off – we're talking tiny 1 ft to 2 ft waves with weak energy. The wind is rubbish, too. It's a bleak stretch for surfers.
Things start to build again toward the end of the outlook. Monday the 7th of September, the swell picks up to 5 ft–6 ft from the ENE, but it's a short period and the wind is cross-shore, so conditions are still far from perfect. Tuesday the 8th has a glassy morning with a 5 ft E swell, but it's still a bit short-period. By Wednesday the 9th, the energy is strong (combined energy of 625), but the wind is messy. The real bright spot in the second week is Thursday the 10th of September. The morning has a 3 ft ENE swell with clean conditions and a cross-off wind, and the afternoon turns glassy with a very long-period 15-second E swell. That's a promising closer to the forecast, though it's a way off yet.
So, if you're looking for the best session, make it Wednesday the 26th of August. The rest of the period has some moments, but you'll have to work around the wind and the lulls.
Rusty.

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.
