Navegantes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mate, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on offer for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with small, weak waves and average conditions. You'll see some surfable waves early Tuesday morning (15th) with a glassy 2ft swell from the southeast, but the energy is really low, so it's nothing to write home about. We then hit a dry spell where the conditions just aren't coming together for a proper session until we get to the weekend after next.

The real standout of the whole outlook is Sunday morning, the 20th of September. This is when we see a pulse of 6ft swell from the east-northeast, and the energy jumps right up to a solid level. The wind is a light north-northwesterly, making for a clean cross-off breeze. This is the best mix of size and clean conditions we get. Keep in mind this is a beach/jetty setup, and with a short period it's a bit bumpy, but this morning window is the pick of the bunch for a proper wave.

Following that, Monday the 21st still has some grunt with a 5ft swell from the east-northeast, strong energy, and clean offshores from the west-northwest in the morning. For a more experienced surfer, that Sunday and Monday morning window is where you want to be in the water.

After that, the surf fades back down into the 3ft range for the rest of the week, with only occasional clean windows, like Thursday the 24th morning with a 3ft swell and a light cross-off. The second week looks a bit more unsettled, with a bump of 5ft swell on the 29th but messy onshore winds, so keep your expectations in check.

Water temperature is unseasonably warm right now, which is a bonus for an early surf.

This is a consistent break, so even though the first few days are flat-ish, the run of poor conditions shouldn't last too long. Keep an eye on that Sunday-Monday window.

Rusty.
