The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Celestino has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a long stretch of clean, small-scale groundswell lining up, but honestly, it’s a bit of a waiting game for something truly special. The water is sitting at 89°F right now, which is 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s notably warm, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The first real standout I see is a very specific moment on Sunday the 13th of September. The afternoon session is looking glassy as anything, with a light 2ft SW swell rolling in. The combined energy is moderate at 348, and while the size is small, that glassy surface will make it feel better than it looks. It’s a point break, consistent, and with a 13-second period, it’ll have some push. Just be aware that crowds are possible here.
Then, if you’ve got patience, we have a truly promising window. Thursday morning the 17th of September is the pick of the entire outlook. We’re looking at a 3ft SSW groundswell, with a 14-second period, and the wind is dead calm and glassy. The combined energy is a solid 642. This is the kind of morning where you’ll be kicking yourself if you sleep in. The break is a consistent point, so the lines should be clean and holding up well.
Beyond that, the swell ticks up a touch around Monday the 21st of September, with 4ft SW swell and a 17-second period, but the onshore wind in the morning and cross-onshore in the afternoon will chop it up. The energy is strong (770), but the quality is going to be messy.
The rest of the week after that is a rinse-and-repeat of small, marginal conditions. There’s a lot of “marginal” and “poor” in the logs, so don’t expect any heroics. The swell sticks around, but the wind is never quite right.
Bottom line: Don’t get too excited about the week ahead. The best bet is the glassy morning on Thursday the 17th. That’s your window. The Sunday afternoon the 13th is a nice little warm-up, but it’s tiny.
Stay safe, keep your eyes on the horizon, and don’t force it if the wind is messy.
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.
