Table - best surf conditions forecast for Guarita over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Guarita’s got cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the start is a bit of a slow cooker. The water’s sitting at 58°F, which is a good 5°F colder than normal for this time of year—so don’t forget the hood. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are tiny, with cross-shore wind and not much to write home about. You’re better off waiting.
First real chance to surf is Sunday morning, July 12th. Swell’s at 6ft from the south, with a short 10-second period, but the wind is cross-offshore from the southwest at 12 mph, keeping it clean. The combined energy is 1251, so there’s some real power. It’s a solid wave for advanced surfers, but a bit too much for beginners. This is the first standout.
Monday morning, July 13th, is the absolute pick of the first week. Clear skies, light cross-offshore wind from the west-southwest at 6 mph, and a 6ft south swell. The energy’s moderate at 596, and the reef will be clean. This is the session to aim for—just know that crowds are sometimes a factor here.
Midweek gets quiet again, but Wednesday morning, July 15th, offers a clean 5ft ESE swell with an 11-second period, and Friday afternoon, July 17th, goes completely glassy with a 4ft ENE swell. That glassy spell is a real treat.
The next big one is Saturday morning, July 18th. A 6ft northeast swell, 8-second period, and light cross-offshore wind from the north at 6 mph. Energy’s at 825, so it’s packing. This one’s for the experienced crew—size is getting serious. Sunday morning, July 19th, is similar with a 6ft ENE swell and clean conditions.
After that, the second week turns messy. Tuesday morning, July 21st, has a 5ft south swell with glassy conditions, but it’s a short window. From the 22nd onward, it’s onshore, rainy, and ugly. Not worth the drive.
So here’s the bottom line: your best bets are Sunday morning July 12th, Monday morning July 13th, Saturday morning July 18th, and Sunday morning July 19th. The Monday the 13th and Saturday the 18th are the real standouts—clean, solid, and worth the paddle out. Don’t miss that glassy Friday the 17th either.
Rusty, signing off.

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