The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat about what's going down at Guarita for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The water’s sitting at a balmy 66°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a real treat if you're getting in.
Things start to wake up on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning is a bit messy, but the afternoon? That’s where the first real standout of the forecast lives. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the SSE, with a proper 13-second groundswell period pushing some serious energy (1164). But the real magic is the glassy wind—dead calm, clean as a whistle. For experienced surfers, this is about as good as it gets at Guarita. Just keep in mind that long-period SSE groundswell on a reef setup like this can sometimes wall up a bit, but the conditions are so perfect you’d be mad to miss it.
Sunday the 9th holds onto that size, with 7ft from the S, but the wind swings around and messes up the surface for most of the day. Monday the 10th through Wednesday the 13th sees the swell settle into a consistent 5ft to 5ft range from the SSE, with long 12-second intervals. The mornings are your best bet, especially when the wind goes light offshore or glassy, giving you clean lines and decent energy (around 615 to 792). Nothing huge, but very surfable.
Then we hit a rough patch from Thursday the 14th through the weekend. The swell gets bigger, but the wind turns onshore and messy, and the quality drops right off. Not worth paddling out for.
But hold on—because Monday the 17th of August brings a surprise. A glassy, clean morning with a 7ft ENE swell, and the energy is modest (533), but it's clean. Then Tuesday the 18th? That’s the big one for the experts. We're talking a solid 12ft from the ENE, with a massive energy reading of 3315. That is serious power. The wind is light cross-off in the morning, making for clean conditions on a very solid, heavy wave. This is not for the faint-hearted—over 8ft is expert territory, and Guarita on a big ENE groundswell will be a handful. After that, the swell fades out through the rest of the week, with some cleaner small windows on the 21st.
If you're a beginner, stay out of the water from the 8th onwards until the 17th and 18th—that's all too big. For the rest of us, the absolute standouts are the glassy Saturday afternoon on the 8th of August, and the big, powerful Tuesday morning on the 18th for the hardcore crew.
Stay salty,
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.
