The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty.
First up, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty flat here. The only spot we’ve got on the radar is Calita, and even that’s a quiet one. The forecast shows a whole heap of days with tiny swell and poor conditions, so you’ve gotta pick your moments. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year, clocking in at 84°F, which is a solid six plus degrees above average. Pretty unusual.
The action starts on Tuesday the 18th of August with a tiny 2ft wave from the ESE. It’s glassy in the morning with a light northerly breeze, so it’ll look clean, but the energy is super weak (13). This is more of a paddle-around kind of day, not really one to get excited about. Wednesday and Thursday stay small, with increasing onshore winds and chop making things messy.
The real low point hits on the 22nd and 23rd of August – absolutely nothing. Zero energy, no swell at all. That flat spell stretches through to Monday the 24th, when a tiny 0.7ft ripple shows up under glassy conditions. Still, not enough to ride.
Wednesday the 26th sees a slight uptick: 3ft from the ESE, period around 6 seconds, and a combined energy of 51. Still weak, but the morning has a light westerly cross-shore wind. It might be worth a look for the absolute beginner or someone just wanting to get wet. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” so you might have the place to yourself on a midweek morning.
For the rest of the run into September, it’s more of the same – tiny waves, mostly clean in the mornings with light offshore or glassy conditions, but just no real push. The 1st of September shows a glassy 1ft, but that’s about it.
If you’re after a standout, the best on offer is the morning of Wednesday the 26th. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s the biggest bump in the whole window. Just don’t expect any barrels. This is a reef setup, so the long-period stuff can make it a bit straight, but with the swell direction matching the optimum ESE, it’s the closest we get to a decent session.
Other than that, it’s a long flat period with not much to report. Sometimes the area just goes quiet, and this is one of those times.

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.
