The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

The first surfable waves show up from Monday afternoon the 31st of August, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. We’ve got weak 3ft swell from the ENE with a short 8-second period and only 154 units of energy. The wind is glassy out of the west at 3 mph, but those conditions are just keeping it clean enough to paddle out without much hope. That pattern hangs around through Tuesday and Wednesday, with the swell staying small and the energy modest at 179 then 338. The water temperature here at Navegantes is sitting at 68°, about a degree and a half warmer than average for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.

The first real standout comes on Thursday morning the 3rd of September. The wind goes offshore from the WNW at 6 mph and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the ESE with a longer 11-second period, giving it more shape. The energy is moderate at 279, and the conditions are clean. This is the best bet in the early part of the forecast. However, by afternoon the wind swings to a cross-onshore NNE breeze at 12 mph and it gets messy.

After that, we hit a dry spell. From Friday the 4th right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, there’s a mix of small, weak swell – mostly 2ft to 3ft – with wind that’s either cross or cross-onshore, and the energy drops below 150. Not much to write home about. The water is still about average for the time of year, but those days are better spent doing something else.

Things start to look up again Wednesday morning the 9th of September. The swell jumps to 4ft from the ENE, still a short 7-second period, but the wind goes glassy out of the west at 3 mph. The energy is moderate at 212. By Wednesday afternoon, it gets even better: 5ft from the NE, absolutely glassy with no wind, and energy rising to 442. This is a solid, clean session.

The real standout of the whole outlook is Thursday the 10th of September. Morning sees 6ft from the ENE with glassy conditions and 695 units of energy – that’s very good. But the afternoon is the bomb: 8ft from the ENE, glassy, 1319 energy. That’s excellent surf, but at 8ft, it’s getting into expert territory. The wind is light from the NNW, keeping it clean. This is the day to clear your schedule.

Friday the 11th morning still has decent 5ft from the ENE with offshore WSW wind at 3 mph, clean and fun. But from Friday afternoon through the weekend, the wind shifts onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf gets choppy and messy, with marginal conditions.

The second week keeps a pulse. Sunday the 13th morning offers 4ft from the E with a cross-offshore WNW breeze at 6 mph, clean and rideable. Monday the 14th morning brings glassy conditions with 4ft from the SE, and by Tuesday the 15th morning we have clean 4ft from the SE with a 12-second period, giving it some punch. That’s a nice, clean end to the run.

Overall, the best on offer is Thursday afternoon the 10th of September at Navegantes – big, glassy, and powerful. Just be ready for the size.

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.
