The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here with the scoop for Navegantes.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a bust. Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are flat and choppy, with tiny waves and onshore wind. The water temp is normal for this time of year. The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd isn't much better – waves around 2ft, but Saturday and Sunday mornings are glassy, so you can get a grovel session in. The combined energy is weak, only around 119.
Things start to change on Monday the 24th. We get a pulse of swell to about 4ft from the SE, with a 14-second period and a combined energy of 619 (moderate). The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the first real energy of the forecast.
The standout windows are in the middle of the week. Tuesday morning the 25th is a beauty – glassy conditions, 3ft of SE groundswell with that nice 13-second period (combined energy of 209). It’s small but clean, perfect for a relaxing session.
Then, Wednesday morning the 26th is another good call. We get 4ft of ENE swell with a shorter 7-second period, but again, it’s glassy. The energy is moderate at 233. It’ll be clean and user-friendly.
The week after that from the 28th tails off again, with onshore winds and smaller, messy waves. A slight offshore on Saturday the 29th cleans up 3ft waves, but it’s nothing special.
For the best of the bunch, I’m going with Tuesday morning the 25th. It’s glassy, clean, and that long-period swell will have some push. Just keep in mind, a long-period swell can break a bit straight at a beach break, so find a good bank. For more size but still clean, Wednesday morning the 26th is your next best bet.
That’s it from me.
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.
