The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’re in a bit of a flat, ordinary spell. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th serve up ankle-to-knee high waves around 2ft to 3ft from the ENE, with a short period of 8 seconds, so no real energy behind ‘em. The combined swell energy is weak at 80 to 98, so it’s more of a paddle-around than a surf session. Not much to get excited about.

Then things start to shift. Saturday the 8th is our first real standout. The morning brings glassy conditions, a light NNE breeze at 3 mph, and the swell switches to a long-period 14 second groundswell from the SE, 2ft. The energy jumps to 282 (moderate), and by the afternoon it gets even better – the swell jumps to 3ft from the SE, period stretches to 16 seconds, and the combined energy hits 551 (strong). That’s a proper, clean, glassy wave. The water temp is 67° with an anomaly of 1°, so pretty much average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

Sunday the 9th gets messy though. The wind swings SSE at 12 mph, the swell bumps up to 4ft but the period drops to 12 seconds, and the cross-chop makes it a write-off. Monday the 10th through Tuesday the 11th is small and mediocre, with cross-shore winds and energy around 224 to 252 – just marginal.

Wednesday the 12th brings a clean-up. Offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph in the morning, clean 3ft SE swell with 13 seconds period, and energy at 278. By the afternoon it’s glassy again with a light NW breeze. That’s a nice little session for the patient surfer.

Thursday the 13th is similar, with the afternoon offering a cleaner 3ft SE swell, 11 second period, and light cross-offshore wind. Good, but not a standout.

Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th get ugly. The swell builds to 6ft and 7ft from the ESE and E, but the period is short at 7 seconds, the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, and the energy is high (582 to 767) but the quality is poor. That’s more of a washing machine for the beach/jetty setup. The setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during this period.

Now, here’s the real highlight. Monday the 18th of August morning. This is a proper session. 7ft of ENE swell, 9 seconds period, light SSW cross-offshore wind at 6 mph, and the combined energy is a massive 1151 (very strong). That’s clean, powerful, and for experienced surfers only – over 8ft is expert territory, and this is right at that threshold. The morning is clean, so paddle out early.

Tuesday the 19th of August morning keeps the quality going. 6ft from the ENE, 10 seconds period, glassy with a light SSE breeze, and energy at 754. That’s another very good, clean day, though a touch smaller. The afternoon stays glassy with a light north breeze. Both days are standouts, but the 18th morning is the best on offer.

The rest of the window fades out. Wednesday the 20th is smaller at 4ft, and then from Thursday the 21st onward it’s back to small, weak, and poor conditions. So, a decent run in the middle of the month, but the start and end are quiet.

Rusty out.

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.
