The Lowdown

Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Navegantes has in store for the next couple of weeks.

The first week is a bit of a grind. We’ve got small, short-period windswell from the ENE, but the wind is mostly messing things up. The real gold is waiting for us at the very end of the month and the start of August.

From Sunday the 19th through the middle of the week, it’s pretty poor. The swell is small, around 3ft to 4ft, with a short 8-second period. Winds are cross-on or cross-off. The water is about 64°, which is a touch cooler than normal for this time of year. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate (187 to 151). It’s just not worth getting wet.

There’s a slight pickup on Thursday morning, the 23rd. The swell shifts to the SE, hitting 4ft with a 9-second period, and the energy climbs to a moderate 283. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Friday morning the 24th looks similar, with 4ft SE swell and clean wind, but the afternoon turns ugly.

A glimmer appears on Saturday the 25th afternoon. The swell drops to 3ft from the ESE, but the wind goes glassy, dead calm. The swell is weak, but for a log or a fish, it could be a fun, clean session.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Sunday the 26th through to Wednesday the 30th, the swell is tiny, around 2ft to 3ft. The energy is low (under 130). The winds are light, but the swell just isn’t there. That’s a gap of several days with very little to offer.

Now for the payoff. Starting Saturday, August 1st, things get proper. A long-period groundswell fills in from the ESE. The swell is 2ft on Saturday morning, but the period is a massive 15 seconds. That’s real groundswell, and the combined energy jumps to 284. The wind is glassy. By Saturday afternoon, it’s 4ft with a 14-second period, offshore wind from the W, and the energy rockets to 529. That is the best session of the whole forecast. Clean, lined-up waves with serious grunt. This is a standout for experienced surfers, though the long period might make it a bit straight at a beach break like Navegantes, so keep an eye on the banks.

Sunday the 2nd keeps the stoke going. Morning is glassy with 4ft, 13-second swell, and the afternoon is even better: 4ft, 14-second swell, a light cross-off wind from the NW, and energy hitting 676. That’s very strong wave energy. Another absolute cracker.

Monday the 3rd sees the swell easing, 3ft with a 13-second period, glassy in the morning, but the wind swings onshore in the afternoon, so get in early.

The clear winner here is the weekend of August 1st and 2nd. Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon are the absolute pick of the bunch. Solid swell, long period, and clean winds. Don’t miss 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.
