The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening in Navegantes. The first week is pretty grim, but there’s a proper session waiting if you’re willing to wait.
The first real chance comes Thursday the 10th of September morning. Offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph will have the surf clean, with 3 ft swell from the east, but it’s short period at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 200, so nothing thumping, but it’s rideable. Not the ideal swell direction for this break, but you’ll get a few.
Then it goes dead through the rest of the week into the second. From Thursday afternoon clear through Monday the 14th of September, expect poor conditions – strong cross/onshore winds, chop, and messy seas. Navegantes is a beach/jetty, and with the wind and swell, this setup looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Now, here’s the real standout: Tuesday the 15th of September morning. Clear skies, offshore WNW breeze at 3 mph, and the swell hits 6 ft from the east. The period is still short at 9 seconds, but the energy jumps to 563 – that’s solid. It’s a bit big for beginners over 5 ft, but intermediates will love it. The afternoon stays clean at 6 ft with a cross-off breeze. That’s your session right there.
Wednesday the 16th of September morning is also good: 6 ft from the SSE, offshore WSW breeze at 3 mph, energy at 551. Clean, but the short period (7 seconds) means it’ll be a bit soft. Still a proper session.
After that, it’s back to marginal and poor conditions for the rest of the outlook. The water temp sits at 68°F, right about normal for this time of year. Mark down Tuesday the 15th – that’s the one to chase.
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.

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.
