The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a good hard look at what's cookin' for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.

First off, the water’s sittin' at about 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. A nice little bonus if you're paddling out without a full suit.

Alright, let's be real. The first few days are a bit of a struggle. Tuesday morning you’ll find some tiny, weak 3ft surf from the ESE with a short 8-second period, and the energy is low at 176. It's surfable, but honestly, it's pretty ordinary. The wind is light offshore, so it’s clean, but it's just not enough to get excited about. That afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind, so that's a write-off.

Wednesday morning is where things start to perk up a little. We’ve got a glassy morning with the wind swinging light SSW, and the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SE with a 10-second period. The energy is climbing to 369. That's a solid, clean morning session for the intermediate surfer. Not a standout, but a definite improvement. The afternoon gets onshore again, so get it while it's good.

Thursday morning offers another clean window with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The swell drops a bit to 3ft, but the period is still a decent 10 seconds from the ESE. Clean, fun waves for the dedicated.

From Thursday afternoon all the way through to the end of the following week, it’s a grim stretch. We’re talking a solid 10 days of poor conditions. The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the surf quality is just garbage. There’s a pulse of bigger swell on Monday the 7th, with 6ft from the SSE, but the wind is just not cooperating, making it choppy and unappealing. The energy is high at 775, but it’s wasted. For a beach/jetty setup like this, that’s a kitesurfing day, not a paddle surfin’ day.

Now, hold on to your board, because Friday the 11th is the real deal. This is the standout. The morning is glassy, dead calm with a light SW wind, and we’ve got a solid 7ft of ENE swell running on a 10-second period. The energy is pumping at 917. This is proper, powerful surf. It’s big, over 8ft, so this one is for the experienced crew only. The crowd factor is "sometimes" at Navegantes, but on a day like this, you can bet the local chargers will be out. This is the best session on offer, no question.

The rest of the run is a mixed bag. Saturday the 12th sees the swell drop back to 5ft, and the wind is a bit messy. It’s a fun size, but the conditions are marginal. The following week has some clean mornings with waist-high waves and light offshore winds, like Monday the 14th and Wednesday the 16th, but they’re just small, average days. Good for a log or a longboard, but nothing to write home about.

So, bottom line: suffer through the first week, then get ready for that Friday the 11th. That’s your day.

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.
