The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cooking for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a slow start. The first week or so is pretty lackluster. We're looking at small, weak swell and messy conditions for the most part. Honestly, there's nothing worth paddling out for until we get past the first week.
The best action is gonna be on Tuesday the 11th of August. The early morning session looks magic. We've got a solid 6ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 12 seconds – that's proper groundswell energy, and wave energy is strong at 1031. The wind is light from the WSW, so it'll be cross-offshore and clean. This is for the experienced crew though, as that size is getting up there. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy with onshore wind and a bigger 8ft swell, so that's an expert-only zone.
The other standout is a bit more user-friendly. Sunday morning, August 16th, we've got a clean 4ft swell from the ESE with light cross-offshore winds. The wave energy is moderate at 327, and it's shaping up to be a nice one for intermediate surfers.
Now, there’s a big gap of pretty poor conditions right at the start, from the 3rd of August right through until that Tuesday morning. It’s a long flat spell, so don’t get your hopes up early on. Navegantes is a beach/jetty setup, so when the wind and swell aren't cooperating, it can get pretty ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Keep an eye on that Tuesday the 11th morning – that's the pick of the 16 days. For the rest, you're mostly waiting for clean windows.

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.
