The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Navegantes has on the table for the next couple of weeks.

First thing you need to know: the water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year—nothing weird going on there.

The first real standout is this coming Sunday morning, August 16. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the east with an 8-second period. The wave energy is moderate at 736, and with a glassy NNW breeze at just 3 mph, it’s going to be clean as a whistle. Navegantes is a beach and jetty setup that’s exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is southeast, so we’re a bit off that, but the quality is still there for an intermediate surfer. This is your best bet early on.

After that, the surf drops off fast. From Sunday afternoon right through most of the following week, we’re looking at small, weak waves—mostly under 3ft, with energy levels dropping into the double digits (87 to 69). Winds get messy, with cross-on and onshore conditions. There are a few clean moments, like Tuesday morning the 18th with a 4ft east-northeast swell and a slight offshore, or Wednesday morning the 19th with glassy conditions on a 3ft swell, but honestly, it’s ordinary. There’s a gap of several days here where nothing really shines.

Now, the next real pulse shows up on Sunday the 23rd. That morning brings a 4ft swell from the south-southeast, period stretching to 9 seconds, and glassy wind. Energy is moderate at 275. The afternoon picks up to 6ft from the southeast, with a 10-second period and 586 energy—decent size and a bit more grunt. Winds stay light, just a bit cross-on, so it’s clean enough. Not a top-tier standout, but the best of that week.

The week after gets interesting. Monday the 24th morning pumps up to 6ft from the south-southeast with an 11-second period and strong energy at 1036. That’s a proper groundswell. But the wind is a cross-shore at 9 mph, which puts a little chop on it. That size (6ft) is getting up there—too big for beginners, but fine for intermediates. The longer period (11 seconds) means better-shaped waves and longer lulls between sets. At a beach/jetty break, it might be a bit straight, but it’s still worth a look if you’re keen.

The real standout of the whole window? I’d put my money on Wednesday the 26th afternoon. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the east-northeast, period is a short 7 seconds but the energy is still solid at 406, and the wind goes glassy from the southwest. That’s as clean as it gets. The direction is a bit off the optimum southeast, but glassy conditions will make it smooth and fun. Consistency is listed as very consistent at Navegantes, so you know there’ll be waves rolling through. Crowds can show up sometimes, so keep your eyes open.

After that, the last few days of August fade out with smaller, weaker swells and onshore winds. Nothing to write home about.

So, in short: Sunday the 16th morning is your first call, and Wednesday the 26th afternoon is the one to circle on the calendar. The gap in the middle is a few days of small, mediocre surf. Don’t expect much in the second week beyond that 26th window.

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.

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.
