The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a clear standout early on before things settle down.
The real highlight is this coming Saturday morning, the 15th of August. Navegantes is looking proper. We’re getting a solid 6ft swell out of the ESE, with an 8-second period and combined energy of 785 (moderate). The wind is glassy, dead calm from the SE at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. This is the best on offer without a doubt—expect very good surf conditions. The afternoon holds similar size and direction but the wind ticks around to the east, still glassy, with energy at 740 (moderate). Saturday is your day, so get on it.
The rest of the window is a bit of a slow burn. Sunday the 16th drops off to 5ft and 4ft, with cross-on breezes from the NNE and NE at 6 mph, making for marginal surf. Monday is similar, with a 5ft ENE swell but cross-shore and cross-on winds that keep things just average. By Tuesday the 18th, the morning cleans up with a light cross-offshore from the NNW, 5ft from ENE with 267 energy (moderate), and it’s clean. That’s a code amber, worth a look if you missed Saturday.
Wednesday and Thursday drop below 3ft, with mostly ordinary conditions and light winds. Friday the 21st has a morning offshore from the west at 12 mph, with only 2ft on offer—clean but tiny. The weekend of the 22nd is small, and by Sunday the 23rd we see a longer-period 16-second SE swell arriving, but it only reaches 5ft in the morning with a cross breeze from the SSE at 9 mph, and the energy is a strong 927 (moderate to strong). The afternoon drops off fast.
The second week gets a bit messy. The 25th of August sees a brief pulse of 6ft from the ENE with a short 7-second period, but cross winds from the south at 12 mph make it choppy. The 28th of August morning has a clean 4ft from ENE with 415 energy (moderate) and a light cross-offshore from the WNW—another decent but small window. After that, it’s fading into ordinary small stuff.
So, to sum it up: Saturday the 15th is the standout. A few other mornings are clean but smaller. The long-range stuff around the 23rd and 28th is promising but less certain, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
Stay stoked.
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.
