Alright, same story but in feet and Fahrenheit. Rusty here.
Guarita’s a raw reef slab that’s advanced only, fairly consistent, and it’ll humble you if you’re off. Water temp is 59°, and that’s a solid 4° colder than normal for early July – bone-chilling.
We start Sunday morning, 5th July, with a clean 5ft SSE swell – 11-second period, energy around 594 (moderate). Light cross-off wind from NNW keeps the face smooth. Decent but tide might mess with it. Sunday afternoon turns ugly with cross-on breeze.
Monday the 6th drops to 4ft and cross-shore wind – marginal. Tuesday the 7th has 3ft ESE swell with offshore WNW wind, clean but small. Wednesday the 8th goes tiny and glassy – 3ft S swell, 11-second period, energy 221 – a glass-off morning for the patient. Thursday and Friday are even smaller, sub-3ft, ordinary.
Saturday the 11th brings a pulse: 5ft SSE swell, long 13-second period, energy 1170 (very strong). Light cross wind from NNE means some chop but lots of power. Tide could be tricky.
First standout: Sunday the 12th. Glassy conditions with light NNE breeze. Swell eases to 5ft, still SSE, 12-second period, energy 709 (strong). Clean, punchy reef waves. Best of the first week if you don’t mind the cold.
Monday the 13th through Thursday the 16th are mostly small or blown out – surfable but nothing special. Friday the 17th morning has 5ft SE swell with clean cross-off wind, energy 266 – rideable.
Second standout: Monday the 20th. Morning delivers 5ft SSE swell, 13-second period, energy 791 (strong), and glassy conditions with light ENE breeze. The report says “very good surf conditions” – that’s the prize. Crowds can happen at Guarita sometimes, so get in early.
Second week is less certain, but that July 20 morning is the one to aim for. Stay sharp, stay warm.

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.
