The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Navegantes has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a decent run of surf coming up, but you’ll have to pick your moments. The pattern starts off promising, then gets a bit tricky with onshore winds, before we see some cleaner windows towards the end.
We kick off on Thursday, the 27th of August. The morning is looking sweet. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell wrapping in from the SE with a solid 14-second period, giving it some proper grunt. The combined energy is a solid moderate 421, and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW, it should be holding up nicely. The water is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year.
Friday the 28th, the morning session looks like the pick. It’s dead glassy with a 4ft swell from the ENE. The period is a bit shorter at 7 seconds, so it won’t have the same push, but those clean, glassy conditions are hard to beat. The energy is still moderate at 250.
Saturday the 29th morning is another glassy one, similar size at 5ft from the ENE, period still short at 8 seconds, but clean and fun. The afternoons this weekend get a bit bumpy with cross-onshore winds.
Monday the 31st morning is worth a look. Glassy conditions again, with a 4ft swell from the E, period stretching out to 9 seconds. Clean and inviting.
After that, things get a bit ordinary for a stretch. The winds turn more onshore and the quality drops. We get a bit of a lull in quality through the first week of September.
But hold onto your boards, because Sunday the 6th of September morning is a standout. We’re looking at 5ft of swell from the ENE, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be clean. The period is short at 6 seconds, but that clean face will make it fun. The energy is a moderate 217.
Then on Monday the 7th, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, but the wind is a bit tricky, making it a marginal call.
The real highlight of the whole run might be Tuesday the 8th of September morning. You’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the ENE, with a cross-offshore wind from the SSW. This is a proper session for the intermediates. The combined energy is a solid 282. This is a good one.
Looking way out to the second week, Thursday the 10th sees a jump in energy with a 577 reading from a long-period SSE swell, but it’s cross-onshore. The 11th of September morning, however, looks clean with a small but punchy ESE swell.
Overall, Navegantes is going to give us some fun waves if you’re on it for the morning glass-offs. The standout is definitely the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. Get on it.
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.
