Calita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet for our stretch of coast. The swell window is just not lining up, and we're going to see a lot of small, weak surf. It’s going to be a test of patience, but that’s part of the game.

Looking at the only break with any real data, Calita, we're in for a slow period. The water is sitting at a warm 80° with an anomaly of 3°, so it's a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—a small bonus if you go for a paddle anyway.

The first few days are essentially a write-off. From Saturday the 5th through to the end of the first week, the swell is tiny, with wave heights mostly under 2ft. The energy in the water is super weak, with combined values well under 100, struggling to even hit 23 (moderate at best). Even the periods are short, in the 4-6 second range, so there's no push or shape to anything.

There's a slight sign of life on Monday the 7th afternoon, with a 2ft ESE swell and some energy at 23, but it's still crossed up and weak. We see a similar pulse on the afternoon of Sunday the 13th, with a 2ft swell and 23 energy, but again, it's not enough to get excited about.

The one real glimmer in this whole outlook comes mid-week, over a week from now. On the morning of Wednesday the 16th, we get the biggest swell of the period at a modest 3ft, with energy finally climbing to 64. The wind is forecast to be glassy, and the period stretches out to 6 seconds. It’s still not perfect, but it's the closest thing we have to a clean, surfable wave. The swell direction is ESE, right in the optimum zone for Calita. The afternoon drops off a bit, but that morning session on the 16th is the standout, if you can wait that long.

After that, it fades back into the small stuff again. From the 17th onwards, we're looking at wave heights dropping back under 3ft with weak energy. There's some clean, cross-off wind in the mornings, but the lack of swell makes it a moot point.

Honestly, for this stretch of coast, this kind of blank run isn't totally abnormal. It doesn't stay this poor forever, and the forecasts can change, but as it stands, you've got one decent window on the 16th. Keep your eye on the horizon for that one.

Rusty, signing off.
