The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch it over to feet and degrees for the imperial heads.
The water temp’s about 64°F, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year – not a big deal, but it’s nice.
The start is quiet. Sunday the 2nd has a 3ft swell from the ENE, weak energy (77), and onshore wind. Not worth the drive. Monday and Tuesday are small and messy, with swell under 3ft and cross-shore breezes. The gap is real – several days of poor to marginal surf.
Wednesday the 5th has a glassy morning with 3ft from the SSE, but the energy is still weak (151). Surfable, but just average. Thursday the 6th is the same story – glassy, but tiny. Friday the 7th is glassy but barely a ripple.
The big one is the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. Swell hits 7ft from the south, with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is massive at 1627 (strong), and it’s glassy. This is expert-only, not for the groms. The reef will lock in that long-period south swell, and with no wind, it’s gonna be clean and powerful.
The morning of Wednesday the 12th of August is another standout: 5ft south swell, 12 seconds, glassy, with moderate energy (766). Clean and solid. Thursday the 13th morning also offers a glassy 6ft SSE swell, good energy (699).
The end of the second week gets choppy with strong cross-winds. The morning of Monday the 17th of August has a 7ft ENE swell, glassy, and strong energy (802), but the direction is off for Guarita’s best angle. Still, with glass and size, it could be a fun session.
Best bet: the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August, with Wednesday the 12th a close second. The first week is a dud, so be patient. This reef sees a crowd “sometimes,” so you might have company for those top days.

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.
