The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Navegantes.
Truth be told, the next several days are a tough watch. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch until we get something worthwhile. The first real glimmer doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 15th of September.
Up until then, it’s mostly small, junky, and wind-affected. The weekend is particularly grim: Saturday and Sunday bring waist-high, short-period slop (3.9ft to 4.9ft) with a persistent cross-chop. The energy is weak to moderate at best (combined swell energy between 126 and 465), and the wind is never clean. It’s one of those periods to sit out or try a lake if you have one nearby – kite surfers might take a look at it, but for a paddle surfer? Forget it.
Now, the standout. Tuesday morning, the 15th of September is your play. We’ve got a clean 6.2ft swell rolling in from the east with a 9-second period. The combined energy kicks up to 547 (moderate to strong energy) and the wind goes light and cross-off from the SSW. That’s the recipe for some proper, lined-up waves at Navegantes (beach/jetty). It’s still manageable for an intermediate, but anything over 4.9ft is pushing it for beginners, so leave that to the crew who know the bank.
After that, the surf drops back down but stays messy for a few days. Another small window pops up late on Friday the 18th of September afternoon – a cleaner 3.6ft NE swell with light cross-off wind. Then Saturday the 19th morning looks glassy with a 5.2ft east-northeast swell, very clean. That’s a nice, mellow session for someone who wants smooth faces.
The long-range stuff into the last week of September is smaller again, but Friday the 25th morning offers a surprise: a piddly-looking 2.0ft swell from the SE, but it’s a 14-second period groundswell with a moderate 12 mph offshore wind from the WSW. That tiny groundswell could wrap in nicely and hold up clean, especially on a point or reef setup. At the beach, that long period might make them a little too straight, but with offshore wind, it could still be a fun small-wave board day.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no need for a super thick suit.
Keep an eye on that Tuesday the 15th. That’s the one.

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.
