Calita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Calita.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with a lot of days where the swell is just not there. From now until the 13th of August, it’s a real struggle. There are a few tiny pulses of swell, but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed. We’re talking about a solid 10 days or so with nothing worth paddling for.

The first real glimpse of something happens on the morning of Thursday the 13th. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The morning offers a bit of an ESE swell, 3ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (98). The wind is glassy out of the WNW, so the surface will be clean. But it’s a small, short-period swell, and the conditions are still just described as very ordinary. It’s not a standout, just a hint that the ocean is waking up.

Then, on Friday the 14th, we get a bit more juice. The morning sees an east swell building to 4ft, period 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (269). The wind is a strong offshore from the NE at 19 mph, which will keep the face clean. This is the best looking window in the entire forecast. The swell is on the bigger side of small, but with that fresh offshore wind, it could clean up nicely. Still, the period is short, so don’t expect the world. It’s the best on offer, but it’s not a world-beater.

Saturday the 15th holds some residual swell, with 4ft from the ESE. The wind is light and cross-shore in the morning, then turns cross-onshore in the afternoon. The energy drops back to 143. It’s surfable, but that morning glass is gone.

Overall, the standout is the morning of Friday the 14th. That 4ft east swell with the strong offshore northeast wind is your best bet. Grab it if you can, because it’s a long wait for anything else.

Rusty.
