The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty coming to you from the beach. Let's talk surf for Guarita.
We're looking at a pretty mixed bag over the next couple of weeks for this reef break. The first few days are a write-off with small, weak swell and chunky wind ruining things. We get a little window of hope on Saturday the 12th morning, with a 5ft SSE swell and clean conditions from a light offshore breeze, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit bumpy.
The real standout that I'm buzzing about is Tuesday the 15th. Starting from the morning, we've got a 5ft E swell with a moderate 9-second period, but the wind is a clean offshore from the SW, and the combined energy is a solid moderate (452). The water is about average for this time of year. The morning is the pick, with the afternoon dropping off in size. For a reef break, an easterly is not the absolute best direction as the optimum is from the east, so it's a good match. This is a break for advanced surfers only.
Then, on Friday the 18th of September, we get a bigger pulse. The morning shows a 7ft ENE swell with a short 8-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is strong (853), but because the swell is over 7ft, this is for experts only. The short period means it will be a bit crumbly, but the glassy wind will make it look good.
Looking further out, the 24th of September Thursday morning offers some hope with a glassy 3ft SSE swell from a very long 12-second period. The energy is moderate (438), and while the swell is small, the long period and clean conditions make it a promising but less certain prospect that far out.
So, for the best surf on offer, keep your eyes on Tuesday the 15th morning and the glassy session on Friday the 18th morning. It's not an epic run, but there are a couple of clean windows to get a wave if you're an experienced surfer.
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.
