Navegantes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming up for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks. Let’s get into it.

The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some solid potential on the table, especially for the early sessions. The water’s sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel that chill if you’re paddling out at dawn.

Alright, so the real action kicks off on Sunday, the 12th of July. The morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 3ft from the ESE with a nice 12-second period. The wind is a light cross-off from the SW, making for a clean, fun wave. The swell energy is moderate (305) – nothing too pushy, but enough to get a few good runners. The afternoon is a bit of a let-down with the wind spinning onshore, so aim for the early.

Monday the 13th is a standout. Morning brings a punchy 6ft of SSE swell, but it’s a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is strong (716), so it’s got some grunt. The wind is light and cross-off, keeping it clean. This one’s for the intermediates – that 6ft will be a handful for beginners. The afternoon drops off fast with onshore winds and tiny waves.

Tuesday the 14th is a good one too. We’ve got 4ft from the ESE with a 10-second period in the morning, clean with cross-off winds. The afternoon is a treat – glassy, 4ft, and the same swell direction. That’s the kind of session you’ll remember. Moderate energy (361) and clean faces.

Wednesday the 15th kicks off with a glassy 4ft from the ESE – beautiful. The wind is off the land, so it’s smooth. The energy is moderate (410). The afternoon turns messy with the cross-onshore, so hit it early.

From Thursday the 16th through to the 23rd, the swell drops a bit but stays consistent. The mornings are the go, with clean cross-off winds and waist-high waves around 3ft to 4ft from the ENE and ESE. The period is short (8 seconds), so the waves are a bit softer and more playful. The energy is moderate (130-246). The afternoons are generally a write-off with onshore breezes. The best of this stretch is Saturday the 18th morning – 4ft, clean, and fun.

Then we hit a bit of a lull from the 24th to the 26th. The swell is around 3ft to 3ft, very ordinary. The mornings are glassy or clean, but the waves are small and weak. Not much to write home about.

Finally, Monday the 27th of July shows a flicker of life. Morning session has 3ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (227). The afternoon is a bit messy with cross-onshore wind. It’s not a barnstormer, but it’s a fun way to end the forecast window.

The standout pick: Monday the 13th morning for the size and clean conditions, or Tuesday the 14th afternoon for that perfect glassy, clean 4ft. If you want a real session, those are the ones.

Rusty.
