The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at Guarita for the next couple of weeks.
Water temp is about 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Feels alright.
The week starts off slow. Friday morning the 24th has some clean 5ft waves from the SE with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. Combined energy is moderate at 365. Not big, but rideable and the wind is kind. That Friday afternoon turns onshore and choppy, so morning is the move.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are small and a bit messy – 4ft and 4ft, cross-shore winds, nothing special. But Sunday afternoon the 26th is a real highlight: glassy conditions, 4ft from the east, and the combined energy at 310. For a small wave, that’s clean and fun. Dead calm wind. That’s your best bet for the first week.
Monday the 27th drops to 2ft, and the rest of the week is a mix of tiny surf and messy winds. Tuesday morning the 28th has a clean 3ft with a cross-off breeze, but it’s marginal. A couple of afternoons go glassy, but the swell is under 2ft – not worth paddling for.
Then we hit Saturday the 1st of August. The morning brings a solid 8ft pulse from the ENE with a clean cross-offshore wind from the SW. Combined energy is a big 1157. That’s expert territory – too big for beginners – but for the experienced crew, it’s a standout. The wind is clean, the swell is up, and the reef will be working. This is the best of the run.
The following week starts to get interesting again. Wednesday the 5th has 8ft from the ENE, but the wind is cross-shore and a bit messy. Thursday the 6th sees a beastly 10ft from the ENE, with combined energy over 2600, but the wind is light and cross-shore. That’s big, powerful, and only for experts. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period swell, less grunt than a groundswell, but still hefty.
Friday the 7th afternoon drops to 5ft, glassy, with a 10-second period from the east. That’s a clean, nice-sized wave with good shape. Combined energy is 467. That’s worth a session.
So, overall: the standout is Saturday the 1st of August morning for the experienced surfers – big, clean, and powerful. For the smaller-wave crew, Sunday the 26th afternoon with glassy conditions is your call. The rest is a mix of small or windy, with a few promising days in the second week, but nothing as clean as that first Saturday.
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.
