The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Guarita. This is a reef setup, exposed to the east, and it’s a spot for the advanced crew only. The water is sittin’ at 62°, which is a bit colder than we’d normally expect for this time of year, so don’t be shy with the rubber.
The next 16 days start off with a bit of a slow, messy period. Monday the 31st of August has some chest-high, 6ft east swell rollin’ in, but the energy is moderate (757) and the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a bit fat and wonky. The wind is onshore, and the forecast is calling it marginal. Tuesday the 1st of September is a write-off with cross-shore winds and poor surf.
It’s not until Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, that we get a clean window. The swell drops to 5ft, but the period stretches to 9 seconds, and the wind goes light and cross-offshore. The energy is still moderate (405), but the lines will be cleaner. Worth a look for a sneaky session, but it’s nothing to write home about. Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, is similar – clean, 4ft, 10-second period, but the swell is small. The real gap is from Friday the 4th through to Sunday the 6th – the swell drops right off and the wind is all over the shop. Surfable but very ordinary, with most days earning a zero.
Now, the first real standout is Monday the 7th of September. The morning brings a 4ft south swell with a 11-second period, and the wind is light offshore. The energy is a solid moderate (415) and it’s clean. This is the pick of the first week.
Keep your eyes on the horizon for the second week. The standout is definitely Sunday the 13th of September. The morning brings a solid 8ft south-east swell with a 10-second period – that’s a strong energy reading (1343) and the wind is light and cross-offshore. It’s clean and powerful. Bear in mind, anything over 8ft is experts only, and this one is for the crew who know what they're doing. The following Monday and Tuesday also hold good size, but the wind gets a bit messy.
The absolute best on offer is Tuesday the 15th of September. The morning has a 6ft south-east swell with a very long 12-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. The energy is strong (1018) and the forecast says excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. This is a groundswell, so it’s going to be powerful and lined up, with longer lulls between sets. It’s a promising one, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, the first week is a bit of a mixed bag with a few clean windows, but the second week has some real potential for those who can handle the size.

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.
