The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, and there’s no real fire in the belly for the first week. The swell is small and the energy is weak for most of it. We’ve got some tiny waves around, but nothing that’s going to get you paddling out with a grin. The combined wave energy is mostly in the 100 to 200 range, which is weak to moderate at best. There’s a gap of several days right at the start where it’s so small and messy it’s hardly worth a mention.
The first real spark of hope pops up on Friday the 24th of July. The swell lifts a little, coming in from the SE at 4ft, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 253 (moderate). Wind is a light cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the first time the numbers start to look interesting. The following Saturday morning, the 25th, cleans right up with a light offshore from the W and glassy conditions, but the swell drops back to 3ft from the ESE. It’s surfable, but it’s small.
The standout moment, the one that has me a bit excited, is Monday morning the 3rd of August. The forecast is showing clear skies, glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze, and a clean 4ft ENE swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is 205 (moderate), and for the first time, the guidance actually says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the one to circle on the calendar. It’s still a week and a half away, so you’ve got to keep an eye on it, but it’s the best bet of the whole run.
The following morning, Tuesday the 4th, is also looking decent with 3ft from the east and glassy conditions, but it’s a step down in energy. Then Wednesday the 5th of August shows a bit more punch with a 4ft SSE swell and a spike in energy to 301, but it’s getting further out and less certain.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing too wild there. The break is a beach/jetty setup, so it’s consistent and exposed, but crowds are possible. For the early part of the week, it’s mostly small and weak, so don’t expect much.
Best bet: Monday morning, the 3rd of August. Glassy, clean, and a little bit of push. That’s the one.

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.
