The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching this stretch of coast for years.
Right now, Navegantes is in a bit of a flat spell. There’s barely a ripple this Wednesday afternoon, with a weak 4ft cross-on swell pushing in, but the energy’s just not there (258). The water is sitting at 63°, which is a touch cooler than we’d expect for July – about 3° below the norm, so you’ll feel that chill.
The next few days are pretty average. Thursday morning offers a brief window with clean, offshore winds (WNW at 3 mph) and a small 3ft groundswell (196), but it’s nothing to write home about. The best stretch comes from Friday morning through to Monday morning. Friday’s early session looks tidy with a 4ft swell from the ENE, clean and lined up thanks to a light WNW cross-off breeze (207). Saturday morning sees a bump to 5ft from the same direction (307) – that’s getting into intermediate territory, and with the morning offshore flow, it’ll be fun but not for beginners. Sunday and Monday mornings hold similar conditions: 4ft to 5ft ENE swells with light offshore winds, keeping the waves clean and peely.
After Monday afternoon, things drop off again. Tuesday through to early the following week is a write-off – small, weak, and messy. There’s a long gap with basically nothing worthwhile from Tuesday afternoon right through to the end of the month.
Then, out of the blue, we’ve got a standout on Monday the 27th of July. The afternoon session at Navegantes is looking absolutely pumping. A solid 4ft swell from the SE, long-period at 16 seconds, is gonna pour into the beach/jetty with glassy conditions and massive energy (1003). That’s a proper groundswell – powerful, clean, and with plenty of time between sets to get back out the back. Keep in mind, though, that long-period swells like this can be a bit tricky at a beach break, sometimes lurching straight. This one’s for experienced surfers only – it’s not a beginner’s wave.
To wrap it up: the next week is patchy, but the mornings from Friday the 17th to Monday the 20th are your best bets for clean, manageable waves. The real gem is the Monday the 27th afternoon session – mark that date, and don’t miss it if you can handle the power.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
