The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for y’all who think in feet and miles.
Calita’s lookin’ pretty sleepy for the first couple of weeks. The water’s sittin’ at 84°F, which is a full 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly, feels like you’re paddling in a hot tub.
We’ve got a long stretch of flatness from the start right through to the morning of Saturday, August 16th. About two weeks of pretty much nothin’ worth paddling for. The combined swell energy is basically zero for most of it, with a few weak readings like 2 and 12 on the 8th, but those are paired with onshore or cross-shore breezes that make it choppy and horrible.
The first real sign of life comes on the morning of Sunday, August 16th. We’re lookin’ at a 3ft ESE swell, period of 6 seconds – that’s short period, so it’s gonna be a bit lumpy and disorganized. The combined energy is 69 (still weak), but the wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s a major win for clean conditions. The surf is still pretty ordinary, but it’s the only thing we’ve got. This is the best option, but it’s not a standout – just the best of a bad lot.
By Monday, August 17th, the swell picks up to 4ft from the east, period 7 seconds, with combined energy reachin’ 124 (moderate). The morning has clean cross-offshore winds from the ENE, which is a decent setup. It’s rideable, but nothing special.
The one morning that might actually get your heart goin’ is Tuesday, August 18th. We’ve got a 5ft east swell, period 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 267 (moderate). With a light NNE wind, it’s clean. This is the biggest swell of the whole window. Still short period, so it’s not gonna be a classic point break wave, but it’s the best you’re gonna get. The afternoon turns ugly as the wind swings SE and gets choppy.
For a break that’s inconsistent and exposed to ESE swells, this is a typical dry spell. The good news is, the energy is startin’ to build right at the end of the forecast. I’d be watchin’ that Tuesday, August 18th morning, and maybe the Sunday before if you’re itchin’ to get wet. Until then, keep your board in the car.
Rusty.

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.
