The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've been looking over the charts for Navegantes. Honestly, the start of this period is a bit of a flat spell, but there's a few windows that'll get the stoke levels up. The water's sitting around 67°F which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Sunday, August 30th. It's nothing to write home about, with a tiny 3ft easterly swell and a short 8-second period. The morning is a bit messy with a cross-shore breeze, but the afternoon turns glassy. The energy is weak (116), so you’ll be on a longboard, but it’s surfable.
Monday, August 31st, is where things start to perk up. The swell bumps up to 3.3ft to 3.9ft from the east, still with a short period, but the wind is clean cross-offshore from the SSW. The energy jumps up to a moderate 321, and the conditions are clean. This is a solid small-wave day, perfect for a few turns.
Tuesday, September 1st, has a similar vibe. Morning sees a drop to 3ft, but a clean cross-offshore from the NNW keeps it tidy. The afternoon is the pick of the day though: a clean 3.9ft from the ESE with a light offshore wind from the WNW. It’s not big, but it’ll be fun and clean.
Now, Wednesday, September 2nd, is the standout. The morning brings a jump in swell to 6.2ft from the SSE, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is a solid 807, and the conditions are forecast to be very good. The short period (8 seconds) means it won't be a classic groundswell, but the size and clean wind will make for some punchy, fun waves. It’s a bit too big for beginners, but intermediates will be in their element. The afternoon turns to junk with a cross-onshore, so get it early.
The rest of the first week fades. Thursday, September 3rd, has a clean 3ft in the morning, but it's pretty weak. The following few days are a write-off with onshore winds and messy conditions.
We then have a lull until the following week. The next real mention is on Sunday, September 6th, where a 7.5ft S swell rolls in, carrying a heap of energy (1229). The issue is the wind is cross-shore, creating a chop. The period is 9 seconds, so it's a bit jumbled. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
Keep an eye on Tuesday, September 8th. It's not great, but there's a 4.6ft ENE swell with a cross-onshore wind. It's marginal.
The final interesting window is around Thursday, September 10th. The morning has a clean 3.9ft from the ESE with a light cross-offshore from the SSW. It's small, but the energy is moderate (213) and the conditions are clean. It's a nice little session.
Looking further out, the second week has a few more promising signals. Saturday, September 13th, shows a 4.9ft E swell, but the wind is cross-shore and the period is short. Sunday, September 14th, has a 6.2ft E swell with a 9-second period and a light cross-shore breeze. The energy is strong (616). It's a bit of a gamble with the wind, but it could be worth a paddle if the wind stays light. It's a long-range call, so less certain, but keep it on the radar.
Overall, the standout is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd at Navegantes. Get that 6.2ft SSE swell with that clean cross-offshore wind. The rest is a mix of small days and messy onshore winds, but there are a few clean windows in there for the patient surfer.

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.

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.
