Calita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. We’re at Calita, a reef setup that’s really only for beginners, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so don’t get your hopes up too high. The water is sitting at 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real standout, nearly 6° above average.

Right now, starting Wednesday the 12th, there’s nothing doing – zero combined energy, cross-onshore wind, and poor surf. That carries on through the whole week. Thursday morning the 13th gives us a tiny 1 ft swell from the east with a short 5-second period, and only 7 units of combined energy. The wind is light cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s just no push. Friday morning the 14th is glassy with a mere 0.7 ft – that’s barely a ripple, energy at 1. Saturday the 15th morning is dead calm and glassy, but again only 1 ft and 9 energy. Honestly, we’re just waiting.

Sunday the 16th morning is the first little flicker – 2 ft from the east-southeast, 11 combined energy, and clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s still tiny and short-period, but if you’re a beginner wanting a splash, it’s the best of a quiet bunch. The afternoon gets a bit more energy (32 units) and 3 ft, but the wind swings cross-shore from the east at 12 mph, putting a chop on it.

The following week doesn’t offer much more. Monday the 17th morning is glassy – 2 ft, 19 energy – but it’s inconsistent. The best-looking morning might be Wednesday the 19th: glassy offshore wind from the west-northwest, 3 ft from the east-southeast, period up to 6 seconds, and 38 combined energy. Still small, but it’s the cleanest window we’ve got. That trend continues into Thursday the 20th morning – glassy again with 2 ft and 27 energy.

By Sunday the 23rd, we see a little uptick: the afternoon has 4 ft from the east with a 6-second period and 137 combined energy – moderate energy at last. The wind is cross-onshore though, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. That’s probably the biggest swell of the whole run, but the quality isn’t there.

Then it fades again. The rest of the month stays small, with most days under 3 ft and energy barely cracking 30. Monday the 24th morning has a clean cross-offshore breeze from the west-northwest and 2 ft, but it’s still weak.

So, the standout? I’d say Sunday morning the 16th if you’re just keen to get wet in clean conditions, or Wednesday morning the 19th for the best chance at a glassy bump. But honestly, there’s no proper swell here. For a beginner reef that’s inconsistent, this is a long flat spell. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be checking the wind forecasts for kiting more than surfing – the setup with cross-shore breezes and small, weak swell is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
