The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for Navegantes. This is a classic beach/jetty setup that's exposed to the swell, and the coming weeks are a real mixed bag. We're looking at a period that starts very small, then builds into a more promising window, but you'll need to be patient.

The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

Alright, let's get into it. The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 21st is tiny, with a weak 2 ft swell from the ENE and a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 40, so there's just no power. Saturday the 22nd sees a jump in size to 6 ft from the SSE, but it's cross-onshore, making for a messy surface. The energy is moderate at 832, but the conditions are marginal.

Sunday the 23rd is a tease. The morning is glassy with a small 2 ft SE swell, but it's a long period at 12 seconds, which is a groundswell. The energy is weak at 132. It's clean, but there's nothing to ride.

The surf picks up from Monday the 24th through to Wednesday the 27th. We're seeing a solid SE groundswell with periods of 14 to 16 seconds, which is fantastic for shape and energy. The combined energy peaks at 778 on Monday afternoon, indicating strong wave energy. The standout in this entire forecast is Thursday morning, the 27th of August. The swell is 3 ft from the SE with a 14-second period, and the winds are glassy from the WNW. The energy is a solid 611, and the conditions are described as "very good." This is the best on offer – clean, glassy, and with proper groundswell energy. For Navegantes, that's a setup that will have some punch.

After that, the conditions get choppy again through the end of August and into the first week of September. There's a brief window on Monday the 31st of August, where the afternoon goes glassy with a 4 ft ENE swell, but it's a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate at 253, so it's worth a look if you're desperate.

The beginning of September shows a bit of promise. Tuesday the 1st has offshore winds in the afternoon with a 3 ft SE swell, and the energy is 281. The following few days have some clean mornings, but the swell remains small. Saturday morning, the 5th of September, is another potential highlight. We've got a 2 ft ESE swell with a 12-second period and clean cross-offshore winds from the NW. The energy is 215, which is weak, but it's clean and offers a window for a longboard or a fish.

Keep an eye on crowds, as Navegantes can sometimes be busy. For the standouts, the Thursday the 27th morning is the one to circle. For the long-range stuff like the 5th of September, treat it as promising but a little less certain. The second week looks like a slow grind with small, clean windows.

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.
