The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, sit down. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, the outlook for this region is a bit of a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the first week and a half is looking pretty quiet. The good news is there’s a little window of hope later on, but you’ll need some patience.
The only spot on the radar is Calita, a reef break. Typically, this place likes an ESE swell, but we’re just not seeing that energy. The water is sitting at a very warm `84°`, which is a whopping `6°` above normal for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly, feels like bathwater.
From Friday, August 22nd, right through to the start of September, it’s a real desert. We’ve got days of flatness or tiny, weak waves. The combined energy reading is often in the single digits or low twenties, which is barely a ripple. The wind is a real mixed bag too, swinging from onshore to cross-off, but with swell that small, it doesn’t really matter. This stretch is a blank run for surfers.
Now, the first real glimmer comes on Sunday, August 30th. The morning at Calita shows a little bit of life. There’s a `3 ft` ESE swell, which is the best we’ve seen, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a modest `48` – still weak but at least it’s something. The wind is glassy from the ENE, which will make for clean, smooth conditions. You could get a few fun little ones here, but it’s not a standout.
The real standout, the only one worth driving for, is actually Monday, August 31st. The morning session at Calita is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a `2 ft` ESE swell, but the wind is a clean offshore from the WSW, keeping the faces smooth. The combined energy is `36`, so it’s not powerful, but for this break, with that wind, it’ll be the most fun you’ll find. The inconsistency of Calita is a factor here, so don’t expect a conveyor belt, but the waves that do come through will be pretty.
After that, it drops off again. The first week of September is back to tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. The combined energy drops back to single figures. The forecast is a bit more uncertain this far out, but the pattern suggests a return to the quiet spell.
So, in short: don’t get your hopes up for the first two weeks. The one bright spot, the only real highlight, is the morning of Monday, August 31st at Calita, if you can get there when the offshore wind is on it. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got.

Information about the Calita Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Calita provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Calita can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Calita 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 (Calita) 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 Calita 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.
