The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what we've got lined up at Navegantes.
Right now, things are looking pretty flat and messy. We've got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first real chance of a surf window opens up on Monday morning the 14th of September. Before that, Sunday afternoon the 13th is a write-off with small, weak 3ft swell from the southeast and a messy cross-shore wind. Just not worth the paddle.
So, Monday morning the 14th is where it gets interesting. We see a clean 4ft SSE swell push through with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW. It's small but it'll have some shape. That energy reading is a moderate 224, so there's something to work with. The water temp is sitting at a normal 68° for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout of the whole run, no question, is Tuesday morning the 15th. It's only 3ft from the SSE, but with glassy conditions and a slight air from the southwest, this is going to be as clean as it gets. The combined energy is a moderate 223. For a little wave, it'll be perfect for a longboard or a fun board. This is the session to circle on the calendar.
The next real highlight is Wednesday morning the 16th. We get a bump in size to 5ft from the SSE, and it's glassy again. The combined energy jumps to a strong 413. This is a solid step up. That size is still fine for most intermediates, but beginners might find the push a bit much. This is the best of the bigger swells for the week.
After that, Thursday the 17th offers a tiny 2ft glassy morning but it's pretty weak. The energy drops right down to 138. Not much to write home about.
Then we hit a rough patch. From Thursday afternoon the 17th through to Saturday the 19th, it's all onshore junk and messy conditions. Swell stays small and choppy. On Saturday afternoon the 19th, we see a 7ft ENE swell roll in, but the wind is onshore and the energy is a massive 905. That's a lot of power, but with the wrong wind, it'll be a washing machine. That setup is looking more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing.
Sunday morning the 20th cleans up nicely. We get a glassy 5ft from the ENE with 434 energy. That's a good session for a confident surfer, but the wind turns onshore in the afternoon, so get it early.
Monday the 21st has a clean 5ft ENE swell with offshore winds from the WNW. Combined energy is a moderate 333. It’s a good one for the morning.
Tuesday the 22nd offers another clean morning, 4ft from the east with offshore winds, energy at 235. Another solid option for the dawn patrol.
The rest of the week and into the next is a mix of small, onshore slop and the occasional glassy moment. Thursday the 24th afternoon looks tidy with a glassy 3ft from the east, energy at 207. It's not a standout, but it's surfable.
Sunday the 27th morning has a clean 5ft from the ESE with offshore winds, energy at 261. That's a nice way to end the forecast period, but it's a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
To wrap it up: Tuesday the 15th for the cleanest little waves, and Wednesday the 16th for the best size and clean conditions. Everything else is picking through the scraps.
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.
