The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming our way at Navegantes.
Right out of the gate, it's a slow start. We've got some small surfable waves on Thursday the 16th, but with a light onshore breeze kicking in by the afternoon, it's not worth getting excited about. We see a bit more energy coming in for Friday the 17th with a glassy morning and a clean 4ft swell from the ENE, running at a short 8-second period. The water is sitting at 62°, which is a good 4° cooler than usual for this time of year – you'll want a decent wetsuit. This pattern of small, short-period ENE swell looks set to continue through Wednesday the 22nd, with a mix of clean mornings and onshore afternoons. Nothing here will blow you away, but there’s a window for a quiet, fun session.
After a gap of a few days with nothing special, we get our first standout period starting Saturday the 25th of July. The morning brings a solid 6ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period – moderate wave energy (723). The wind is a clean offshore from the W at 9 mph, making it a very good looking morning for an intermediate surfer. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook period, and it's a paddling mission that will be worth it. The afternoon drops off a bit with a stronger cross-off shore wind, so get your fix early.
The following week sees the swell back off again and become a bit more mixed. Sunday the 26th is ordinary, and we see another gap before a pulse of energy from the East picks up around Monday the 27th. The last real highlight in the forecast is on Wednesday the 29th. The morning session is the pick with a clean 4ft swell from the E, running on the better side of the period at 9 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze. Sunday the 31st also offers a glimmer of hope with a clean morning, but the swell is dropping and wind turns onshore later.
So, to wrap it up: the clear standout is the Saturday the 25th of July morning session. Get on it, because the rest of the week is a waiting game for smaller windows of clean surf. Conditions will be inconsistent through the second week, so keep an eye on the wind.
Stay frothy, 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.
