The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for Guarita.
Right now, we're looking at a bit of a flat spell to start. The first few days are pretty grim with onshore winds and rain messing things up, so don't even bother waxing up until we get past that initial hurdle. We're in for a bit of a wait.
The first real glimmer of hope hits on Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. That morning, the wind swings offshore from the southwest, cleaning up a 7ft east swell. The energy is solid (635), and that offshore wind will have the reef looking proper. It's an advanced break, so don't expect any soft rollers, but for those who can handle it, that Tuesday morning session is the standout of the first week. The water temp is sitting at about 63°, which is right where it should be for this time of year.
Now, the mid-period is a bit hit-or-miss with a lot of choppy afternoons, but you have another chance early on Sunday the 6th of September if you're keen. A 6ft south swell with clean offshore wind (726 energy) will have some grunt, though the quality is a bit touch-and-go with the tide. It's worth a look if you missed the Tuesday window.
But the real gem, the one that got me a little excited, is a week and a bit away. On Monday morning, the 14th of September, we have a really promising setup. A 6ft east swell running at 9 seconds, pumping with 927 energy, and the wind is forecast to be glassy – absolutely dead calm. For a reef break like Guarita, that is as good as it gets. The waves will be clean, lined up, and packing a real punch. That is your absolute best bet in the whole 16-day window, but remember, it's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it as it gets closer. It's too big for beginners at that size.
Later that Monday afternoon the wind swings onshore and it'll get messy again.
So, to keep it simple: wait for Tuesday 1st September morning, or circle Monday 14th September morning as the major target. The rest is mostly a write-off or just average.
Rusty.

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.
