The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s coming up for Celestino.
We’re looking at a pretty long stretch of small, marginal surf. The first decent session doesn’t even show up until the morning of Wednesday the 9th, so there’s a gap of a few days with nothing worth paddling for. The overall vibe is a quiet, drawn-out period of small SSW groundswells, with the odd moment of clean glass to make it worthwhile.
The best of the bunch is hands down Wednesday morning, the 9th. The wind goes totally glassy, dead calm, and that’s a major win. You’ll have a clean 2ft swell from the SW with a very long 16-second period, carrying a moderate 446 energy reading. It’s small, but with that glassy surface and a decent groundswell pulse, you’ll find some fun, rippable lines. The point should handle that long period nicely. After that, things get a bit messy again with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions through the rest of that week.
There’s another promising moment on Friday morning, the 11th, with glassy conditions again, a 3ft swell from the SSW at 15 seconds, and a 454 energy reading. It’s small but clean. After that, the swell drops off further, and we’re into a long stretch of tiny, messy waves with poor conditions for the next week. By Sunday the 20th, we see a slight pickup to 4ft from the SSW with a nice 18-second period and 977 energy, but it’s still marked as marginal, so don’t get your hopes up too high just yet.
Honestly, if you’re keen, pencil in the 9th and the 11th for small, clean morning sessions. The rest of this 16-day window is mostly a write-off for decent surf.
Rusty.

Information about the Celestino Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Celestino provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Celestino can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Celestino 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 (Celestino) 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 Celestino 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.
