The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Navegantes over the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a bit of a slow start, but the second half of the period has some real potential. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need a full spring suit for the dawn patrols.

Monday morning kicks things off with a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind is coming from the south at 6 mph, making it a cross-shore mess. The combined energy is moderate (634), but the conditions are just marginal. Honestly, Monday is a write-off.

Tuesday morning is clean with a light offshore from the WSW, but the swell drops to 2ft from the SE and the energy is weak (96). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Tuesday afternoon gets even worse.

The first real glimmer of hope comes Wednesday morning, September 9th. We’ve got a clean 4ft easterly swell with a 8-second period, light offshore WNW wind, and moderate energy (223). It’s not world-class, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far. The morning is the go; the afternoon gets chopped up by a NE breeze.

Thursday morning, September 10th, is glassy and 3ft from the ENE, but it’s just too small to get excited about. Thursday afternoon sees a 2ft SE groundswell with a very long 15-second period and glassy conditions – but again, it’s knee-high at best.

The next few days are a mix of small, short-period swell and onshore winds. Saturday afternoon, September 12th, gets a bump to 5ft from the SSE, but a 15 mph onshore wind makes it choppy and ugly. Sunday, September 13th, sees the swell jump to 8ft from the SSE with a 12-second period and strong energy (2582), but the wind is howling at 12 mph onshore. It’s a mess for a paddle board, but that setup might be more interesting for the kite crew.

We hit a dry spell until Tuesday morning, September 15th. That’s a standout morning. A clean 5ft easterly swell with a light offshore W wind. The energy is moderate (568) and the conditions are clean. This is the pick of the first week. Get out there.

The next real standout is a week away, on Sunday, September 20th. The morning has a 8ft easterly swell with a 9-second period, clean cross-offshore wind from the SSW, and strong energy (1903). That’s a lot of power. Then, Sunday afternoon goes glassy with zero wind and the same 8ft ENE swell. This is for experienced surfers only – it’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s clean. A true highlight.

Monday the 21st still has size (8ft from the ENE) but the wind turns onshore, making it messy. After that, the swell drops and the onshore winds stick around, ending the period on a flat note.

So, to sum it up: the best windows are Wednesday morning, September 9th for a clean, fun-sized wave, and Sunday, September 20th for the big, clean, powerful stuff – but that’s only for the crew with the skills to handle 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.
