The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s a long, flat stretch ahead. The first real whisper of anything surfable doesn’t show up until late in the month, so don’t get your hopes up for a quick fix.
For the first week and a half, we’re looking at a total lull. From now through to about the 27th of July, the wave energy is pathetic. The combined energy figures are mostly in the single digits, barely registering. It’s a dead spell. The only thing worth noting is the water temperature, which is running about 3° warmer than usual for this time of year, hitting 80°F. That’s a solid anomaly, but it doesn’t help the surf.
The first faint glimmer of a pulse arrives on Monday the 28th of July. The spot is Calita. It’s a reef break, usually inconsistent, and it only works with an ESE swell. On the morning of the 28th, we’ve got a 3ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to 60, which is still weak but at least it’s a number. The wind is light and offshore from the N, making for clean conditions. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and with the offshore wind, it’ll be clean, but don’t expect much push. If you’re desperate for a paddle, this is your window.
The best of a poor bunch actually comes on the morning of Wednesday the 30th of July. The swell nudges up to 4ft from the E, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 128, which is moderate. The wind goes glassy, calm from the S. That’s a major plus—clean, glassy conditions on a 4ft swell. Still, the period is short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but for Calita, this is about as good as it gets in this forecast. The water remains warm, but the anomaly data isn’t repeated for this date.
After that, Thursday the 31st morning is glassy again but completely flat. So, the standout is clear: the morning of the 30th of July. The only real standout. Everything else is a write-off. If you’re a kiter, the afternoon winds might offer something, but for a paddle, leave the board in the car.
That’s it. 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.
