The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what we're working with for this stretch.
Okay, I'm not gonna lie to you, the surf situation is looking pretty grim for the next week or so. We're staring down a real flat spell. The first sign of any rideable surf doesn't show up until Sunday the 16th, and even then, it's a tough call. The entire first week is just tiny, weak windswell with poor conditions, so you're better off leaving the board in the garage.
Calita is the only spot on the menu, but it's a tricky one. This is a beginner-friendly reef break, but it's *inconsistent*, meaning it doesn't break often, and this stretch proves it. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Now, for that first glimmer of hope. On Sunday morning, August 16th, we finally see a tiny bump. Swell climbs to 3ft from the ESE with a short 6-second period, and the combined wave energy is still weak at 47. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NE, so it'll be tidy. The report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions", and honestly, that's the best we get. It's only for the morning though; by the afternoon the wind picks up to a moderate cross-shore and the quality drops.
After that brief pulse, we're right back into the doldrums. The rest of the run into the end of August is a mix of tiny waves, poor wind, and very low energy. There are a few glassy mornings around the 20th and 22nd with SSW winds, but the swell is just too weak to push anything rideable – we're talking 1ft to 2ft with energy levels in the teens. The 23rd and 25th are completely flat.
So, the standout? There isn't really a proper one. If you're absolutely desperate for a paddle, the Sunday 16th morning session at Calita is your only real shot, and that's a big "if". The swell direction from the ESE is right on the optimum for the break, and the clean offshore wind is a major positive, but the size and consistency just aren't there. For beginners, the 3ft is fine, but it's not going to be any kind of classic.
Long story short, this is a long, quiet run. The surf is pretty much non-existent, and it's one of those periods where the ocean just shuts down. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, it's a blank week ahead. Hang tight.
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.
