The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty.
Alright, look, Guarita’s got a bit of a slow start, but there are a couple of days that’ll get the blood pumping.
Monday 20th starts off with a small 4ft east-northeast swell at 9 seconds, light north wind blowing cross-off. The combined energy is moderate (203). It’s rideable but nothing exciting. Monday afternoon goes flat. Tuesday 21st has a glassy morning with a tiny 3ft ENE swell, but it’s weak. Wednesday and Thursday mornings are poor with small chop.
Then Thursday 23rd morning, things wake up. You get a jump to 7ft from the south-southeast at 8 seconds, combined energy shoots up to strong (1208). That’s a lot of power. The wind is light cross-shore, so there’ll be some bumps, but that’s strictly for the pros. Beginners, stay on the beach. Thursday afternoon drops to 6ft but stays messy.
The absolute standout is Sunday 26th morning. Clean 6ft swell from the east-southeast at 9 seconds, combined energy is strong (634), and it’s a light west-southwest cross-off wind, so the surface will be glassy. Expect very good surf conditions. This is the one to make plans for. It’s a reef break, and at that size with clean wind, it should produce some proper, well-shaped waves for advanced surfers.
Monday 27th morning is also decent: 5ft from the east-southeast at 9 seconds, light north cross-off wind, clean, with moderate energy (441). Good surf conditions.
After that, the swell drops off and the wind gets less favourable through the end of July into early August. Wednesday 29th morning gives another clean window at 5ft from the northeast at just 7 seconds, so short period. Then it goes small until Tuesday 4th August morning, which pops up again with 6ft from the east-northeast at 7 seconds, combined energy moderate-strong (587), and a light south-westerly cross-off wind. Expect very good surf conditions again – that’s your other highlight, but it’s more than a week away, so keep it on the radar.
Water temps are about average for this time of year.
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.
