Table - best surf conditions forecast for Navegantes over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. We’ve got a 16-day stretch for Navegantes and the first few days are flat – nothing worth paddling for until the 22nd. The water is about 68°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel it.
Thursday 20th starts with a tiny, glassy 3ft easterly swell, but it’s weak. The afternoon goes flat and cross-onshore. Friday the 21st has offshore wind but the swell drops to barely 2-2ft, so it’s clean but tiny.
Saturday 22nd morning is the first real bump: 6ft from the SSE, 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 816 – moderate but punchy. It’s a bit cross-on, so not perfect, but that’s the first decent size.
Sunday 23rd morning goes glassy again, but only 2ft from the SE with a long 12-second period. Clean but tiny.
The real sweet spot is Tuesday 25th through Thursday 27th mornings. Glassy conditions, consistent 3-3ft SE swells at 13 seconds, energy in the 244-343 range. The wind is calm, the waves are clean. This is your best bet for a fun, uncrowded session.
Friday 28th morning jumps to 5ft from the ENE with cross-off wind and 338 energy – clean and solid. The afternoon goes messy.
Saturday 29th stays clean in the morning at 5ft ENE, then goes poor with short-period junk.
Sunday 30th same story: clean morning, poor afternoon. Then a dry spell from Monday 31st August through Thursday 3rd September – mostly poor conditions and building wind.
Friday 4th September brings a big one: 10ft from the south, 1905 energy – that’s strong. But it’s cross-shore and choppy, with only a 9-second period. That’s expert-only and messy. It’s over two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.
Best bet: Tuesday 25th to Thursday 27th mornings – glassy, clean, waist-to-chest high SE groundswell. Not huge, but the cleanest, most reliable surf of the whole run.

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.
