The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Navegantes.
The next couple of days are a bit of a write-off – there’s no real quality on offer until Wednesday morning. We’ve got a couple of quiet days to sit through first.
Wednesday the 9th is where things start to look up. Early morning at Navegantes, we’ve got a clean 4ft swell coming from the east with a moderate 8-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west-northwest, so the lineup should be tidy. It’s not huge, but it’ll be surfable and clean. This is the pick of the first half of the week.
Thursday the 10th afternoon brings a real surprise. The wind goes glassy, and we see a long-period 15-second groundswell from the south-southeast pushing through a small 2ft wave. That period is long, so it’ll have some push and shape, especially at a beach/jetty setup like this. The conditions will be glassy and clean. This is the standout session for the more experienced surfer looking for quality over size.
Saturday the 12th afternoon turns glassy again with the wind dropping to zero – a calm, clean 3ft swell from the east-northeast. Small but super clean.
Now, a bit of a heads-up: Sunday the 13th morning kicks up to a solid 8ft from the south-southeast (11-second period) with serious power. That’s heavy water, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, creating a cross-chop. This one is for experienced surfers only – it’s going to be raw and a bit messy.
The following week has a few tidy windows. Monday the 14th afternoon and Tuesday the 15th morning both offer clean conditions with waist-to-chest high swell (4ft to 5ft) and light offshore winds. Good, solid surf for intermediates.
Friday the 18th morning sees a glassy 3ft groundswell from the southeast with a long 13-second period. It’ll be clean. A nice one for a longboard or a fun mid-length.
Saturday the 19th afternoon brings a 5ft bump from the east (short 6-second period) but with clean cross-offshore wind. Not the best shape, but clean enough for a session.
The final call: if I had to pick one true standout, it’s Thursday the 10th afternoon – glassy conditions with that long-period groundswell. For a bit more size and still clean, Tuesday the 15th morning is the solid backup.
Keep an eye on that Sunday the 13th morning if you’re an expert and don’t mind a bit of chop.
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.
