The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s cooking on the surf front.
The water is running about 66°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Nothing crazy, but nice.
We’re easing into it, but the first real chance to get wet is on Saturday, July 25th. The morning at Guarita is glassy with a light NNW breeze, and the swell is 5ft from the ESE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (385). It’s a reef break, so the short period isn’t perfect, but the clean conditions make it worthwhile. Crowds are possible, so just a heads up.
Sunday, July 26th morning is also clean, with a light N wind blowing cross-off. Swell drops to 4ft from the same ESE direction, and the energy is moderate (311). Nothing special, but it’s surfable.
As we roll into August, things pick up a bit. On Sunday, August 2nd, the morning has a clean cross-off wind from the SW and the swell is 3ft from the ENE with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (209). It’s small, but clean.
Then Monday, August 3rd morning brings a similar setup: 3ft from the SSE, a 10-second period, cross-off wind from the WSW, and energy is moderate (295). Clean again.
But the real standout is on Friday, August 7th. That morning, Guarita is looking excellent. The swell jumps to 8ft from the E with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is strong (1146). The wind is light and cross-off from the SW, with clear skies. This is a proper swell, over 8ft, so it’s only for experienced surfers. The reef will handle the short period, but the power is significant. This is the best session in the whole 16-day window.
The afternoon of the 7th still has a 6ft swell from the ENE, but the wind shifts cross-on, so it won’t be as clean.
There are a few quiet stretches. From July 28th through July 31st, it’s mostly small, choppy, or poor. August 1st is also small and ordinary. So you’ve got a few days to sit it out.
If you’re looking for the one to mark on the calendar, it’s Friday, August 7th morning. The rest is small and clean, but nothing else has that same power.
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.
