The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty again, this time in feet and Fahrenheit.
Things start slow here at Navegantes, so don’t rush. The first proper look comes on Monday the 14th. Swell runs about 3 to 4 feet from the SSE, with clean conditions and a light offshore cross-off breeze in the morning. The energy is moderate (234). The afternoon cleans up even more with a slightly longer period.
The real standout is Sunday the 20th. That afternoon you’re looking at around 6 feet of east swell with glassy conditions and strong energy (581). That’s a session to plan around, though be aware this spot can get crowded at times.
Other moments to watch: Tuesday the 22nd starts glassy with a clean 4-foot E swell, and Monday the 28th brings a solid 3 to 4-foot SE swell with a very long 15-second period and glassy conditions (575). That one is still a ways out, so it’s more of a promising look for now.
The in-between days are mostly small or chopped up by onshore winds. A few glassy windows around the 17th and 18th, but the swell is weak. The 23rd through the 27th is mostly flat or messy, so you might want to take a break.
Water temp is about 68°F, pretty average for this time of year.
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.
