The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Navegantes. This is a beach and jetty setup that’s exposed to the swell, and it’s a very consistent spot. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The first few days are a bit of a letdown, to be honest. Sunday afternoon kicks off the period with some light rain and a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph, making for choppy, poor conditions. Not worth paddling out. Monday and Tuesday mornings are just marginal, with cross-shore winds and small, weak swell.
The first real chance of something decent comes on Tuesday afternoon, August 11th. The wind shifts to a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, and the swell cleans up. We’ve got 3 ft of SE swell with a long 13-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 243. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and rideable.
Wednesday, August 12th, is the standout of this early run. Morning starts with a glassy, light rain setup, and the afternoon turns absolutely perfect – no wind, glassy conditions, with 3 ft of SE swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy sits at 212, moderate, but that clean surface will make it feel way better than the numbers suggest. This is your best bet for a fun, hassle-free session.
Thursday morning, August 13th, keeps the good run going with a light offshore wind from the west and 3 ft of SE swell. The period jumps to a long 15 seconds, and combined energy is a moderate 349. That’s a groundswell pulse, and on a beach/jetty break like Navegantes, it might be a bit straight, but it’ll still offer some punchy waves. After that, conditions degrade again with cross-onshore winds.
The second week sees a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a notable window on Monday, August 17th, afternoon: glassy, calm conditions with 4 ft of E swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. The combined energy is moderate at 244. Tuesday morning, August 18th, is similar, with 5 ft of short-period E swell and glassy winds, combined energy at 321. That’s the biggest swell of the whole period, but that short period means it’s not going to have much shape – more of a mushy, close-out wave.
Then there’s a real dry spell from about Thursday, August 20th, through Sunday, August 23rd. Swell drops way off, winds get messy, and the combined energy dips into weak two-digit numbers. Nothing worth chasing.
The period finishes on a hopeful note. Monday, August 24th, morning brings glassy conditions again, with 3 ft of SE swell and a long 14-second period, combined energy at a solid 298. That’s a good clean groundswell setup, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, your best windows are Wednesday, August 12th, for those perfect glassy, clean conditions, and Thursday morning, August 13th, for that long-period groundswell. The bigger days later on are too short-period to really get excited about.

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.
