The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking.
To be honest, this 16-day window is a tough one for the region. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch of disappointingly small and weak surf, with not a lot of hope until the very final days. There’s a real gap of surfable conditions for almost two weeks straight.
The only spot on the map is Calita, a reef break. For most of this period, it's just not doing anything. From Saturday the 15th through to Wednesday the 26th, the wave energy is practically non-existent—we're seeing combined energy values of mostly single digits and low double digits, with heaps of zeros. It's flat or tiny, with winds mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the forecast keeps calling it "poor surf conditions." You wouldn't even bother getting the wax out of the wrapper.
Things finally start to look a little different toward the end. On Thursday morning, the 27th, we see a bit of a pulse with a 4ft swell from the east (combined energy of 143), with glassy conditions and that early light. The water temp is running around 85°F, which is a full 7° warmer than usual for this time of year—very unusual, so you’ll be in for a warm one. It’s surfable, but pretty ordinary. Friday the 28th morning holds similar 4ft east swell (171 energy) with glassy conditions again, and Saturday the 29th morning pushes up a touch to 5ft from the ESE (197 energy) with clean, glassy conditions. This is your best shot. That east-southeast swell direction lines up with the break’s optimum, so it'll be working.
The big caveat here is that Calita is an inconsistent break, so it doesn't always fire. Even with these final few mornings, the swell period is only around 7 seconds, which is short-period wind swell, not the kind of long groundswell that really turns it on. Still, with clean winds, it’s your only genuine window for a paddle.
To sum it up: two weeks of almost nothing, then a couple of mornings from the 27th to the 29th that actually might offer a few fun ones. Don't get too excited, but it's something to mark on the calendar.
Stay patient,
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.
Calita is 5 km (3 miles) from Alicante. If you plan a holiday in Valencia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Alicante. Alicante has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
