Right, let’s have a look at the surf, brother. It’s gonna be a mixed bag.
We kick off on Sunday, July 5th at Geriba with some sloppy conditions. An onshore wind is making a mess of that 2.0m (7ft) S swell. Just skip it.
The first real window comes on Monday afternoon, July 6th. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore from the east, and that 1.6m (5ft) S swell cleans right up. It’s not perfect, but it’s rideable.
Now here's the gem. Circle Thursday morning, July 9th. The swell is a modest 1.1m (4ft) from the SSW, but the wind is completely glassy. Zero knots. That makes Geriba look like a lake. There’s moderate wave energy (565), and the 12-second period gives it some shape. That’s the standout session of the first week, no question.
Sunday morning, July 12th is another solid call. A 1.1m (4ft) S swell with a very long 15-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is high (914), and with clean conditions, the lines should be proper.
As we get into the second week, the ocean starts to really wake up. By Saturday, July 19th, the swell jumps to 3.5m (12ft) from the S with a massive 17-second period. The wave energy hits a huge 6317. But the cross-onshore wind at 25 km/h (16 mph) is going to make it lumpy and choppy. At that size, it’s more of a kite-surfing show than a clean paddle wave.
Monday, July 20th still has a 3.0m (10ft) S swell with a 15-second period and big energy (3390) in the morning, easing to 2.5m (8ft) in the afternoon. It’s heavy, and the cross-onshore wind is lighter but still there.
For the best session, point your board at that glassy Thursday morning, July 9th. After that, keep an eye on Sunday the 12th. If you’re an expert, the big stuff around the 19th and 20th will get your heart pumping, but it’s not for the faint of heart.

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