The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Guarita.
We kick off with some heavy energy right from the start. Monday morning, August 24th, a solid 8ft swell out of the SSE with a 14-second period. That’s proper groundswell – combined energy is a huge 2114. Water temp is 62°, about normal for this time of year. Wind is light from the SW at 6 mph, cross-off, so it’s clean. This is for experts only – too big for beginners. The wave quality will be excellent for those with the nerve.
Monday afternoon, the swell drops to 7ft but the wind swings SSE at 9 mph, cross-on, and it gets choppy. Not worth it.
Tuesday morning the 25th, we’ve got a more friendly 5ft from the SSE, still with that long 12-second period. Light north wind at 6 mph, cross-off, clean. Energy drops to 680, so it’s a good session for intermediates. Fun and manageable.
Tuesday afternoon gets messy with an ENE breeze at 12 mph, cross-on and choppy. Pass.
Wednesday morning sees the swell back up to 7ft from the SSE, 14-second period, energy at 1705. Light NNE wind at 6 mph but it’s cross-shore, so a little bumpy. Still powerful for the experts.
The rest of that week is a mixed bag of smaller swells and marginal conditions. Thursday has 4ft, Friday has short 8-second period junk at 5ft from the E – weak and won’t hold shape. Saturday the 29th gives us a small 4ft from the E, 9-second period, light NNW wind at 3 mph making it clean, but energy is only 245. That’s a longboard morning.
Sunday the 30th afternoon is a real standout. Swell picks up to 5ft from the ENE, 10-second period, with a light cross-off SW wind at 6 mph. Clean, fun, and 885 energy. Best of that weekend for most.
Monday the 31st is messy with onshore winds. Then Tuesday, September 1st morning is another big one. 8ft from the S, 10-second period, combined energy of 2175. SW wind at 9 mph, cross-off, clean. Expert-only again, but it’ll be pumping.
After that, the swell fades fast. Wednesday the 2nd is smaller and choppy. A brief glassy moment on Thursday the 3rd morning with 4ft from the SSE, no wind, but only 424 energy – small and clean, not exciting. From September 4th onward, it’s knee-to-waist high junk with onshore winds. Not worth suiting up.
Bottom line: Monday the 24th morning and Tuesday the 1st of September morning are the big-wave standouts for experts. Sunday the 30th is your best all-round bet for clean, fun waves. The rest is mostly small and sloppy.
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.
