The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's check what's cookin' for our stretch of sand.
We get a decent start. Monday, the 24th of August, dawns with a glassy 4ft of SE groundswell, a long 14-second period, and a combined energy of 506. That's proper clean, but that long period means the sets will be spaced out, so you gotta be patient. Wind is dead calm for the morning session – that's the good stuff.
Tuesday the 25th is smaller, around 3ft, but still that nice long SE period at 13 seconds, and it's glassy again. Energy is down a bit to 206, but it'll be clean fun, especially for the intermediate crowd. Wednesday the 26th is a real highlight. Both the morning and afternoon are totally glassed off with 4ft to 4ft of SE swell, energy jumping back up to 563 and 651. That's the kind of day you want to be sick for work.
Thursday morning stays clean at 3ft, but the afternoon gets a light cross-onshore that messes with the surface. Friday the 28th switches to a smaller, weaker ENE windswell, only 8 seconds and about 4ft in the afternoon, but the quality drops off a cliff.
Then we hit a long quiet stretch. From Saturday the 29th up until Monday the 7th of September, it's poor. Most days have onshore or cross-shore breezes, short-period slop, and combined energies often below 300. There's a raw moment on Tuesday the 1st of September morning with a 8ft S windswell – that’s a big 8-second period, chunky and powerful with energy hitting 1037, but it's messy. That's for experts or kite surfers only.
The big standout is way out there. On Tuesday the 8th of September in the morning, the forecast shows a 8ft ENE swell with a combined energy of 1229. The period is short at 8 seconds, but the wind is clean cross-offshore from the NNW. That's a huge wall of water that will be clean. It's over a week away, so treat it as a promise that might change, but it's the best look we've got in the entire 16-day window. Water temp is about normal for the season.
So, the first few days are your best bet, especially the 24th through the 26th. After that, it's a long slog of onshore junk until that final Tuesday the 8th hopefully delivers. Keep your eyes peeled.
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.
