The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break it down in feet and miles per hour.
It's been a slow cook, but there's a payoff coming. We're focused on Guarita, an advanced reef break. The whole 16-day window has a few different stories to tell.
First waves worth driving for are this Sunday the 19th. Morning has a cross-shore breeze, but the afternoon cleans up with a nice cross-offshore wind. You're looking at chest to head-high surf, around 6 ft, pushing in from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds. It's not the longest period, but there's moderate energy (a reading of 628), and that offshore breeze will make for some fun, hollow walls. Expect a few others out there.
We then hit a quiet spell from Monday the 20th through Thursday the 24th. The swell drops way off. Monday morning is glassy but small at 4 ft, and it fades fast. For a few days, you're looking at weak, small surf with only 3 ft to 5 ft and periods around 8 seconds. Winds are a mess, mostly onshore. Energy stays low, under 300. Not worth the paddle.
There's a blink on Friday the 24th – a clean cross-offshore breeze with a tiny 4 ft SE swell. Small but clean.
The real standout is the first of August. That Saturday morning is the one. Glassy conditions, light offshore winds, and a solid 5 ft swell from the SSE. The big news is the period: 14 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, packing a huge punch with a combined energy reading of 1074 strong. This is a powerful, long-period wave that will absolutely fire on this reef. It's expert territory for sure.
Sunday the 2nd of August still has serious grunt, with a 5 ft SSE swell and a 14-second period, hitting 1441 in energy, but a cross-shore wind will make it a bit bumpy. Still on for the advanced crew.
The water temp is about average for the time of year here, nothing special.
So, bottom line: the standout is that Saturday the 1st of August morning. Glassy, long-period, powerful SSE swell at 5 ft – that's your dawn patrol winner. If you can't make it, the Sunday morning is a solid backup.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
