The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
First proper surf is Friday morning, August 28th. Guarita has a clean, glassy 1.5m ENE swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit weak and fat. Water temp is 16°, which is a bit colder than usual (anomaly -1°). The combined energy is 384 – moderate, but advanced-only spot, so it’s just okay.
The real standout is Wednesday morning, September 2nd. Glassy as glass – 2.2m SSE groundswell, 10-second period, and combined energy of 1020 – that’s big, strong power. Clean offshore wind from the WSW means picture-perfect lines on the reef. Crowds are likely, but for good reason. This is for the experienced crew only.
Thursday morning, September 3rd, is another good one: glassy, 1.7m SSE groundswell, 546 energy. Clean, fun, and a bit more manageable.
Come Monday, September 7th, a long-period 2.0m SSE swell (13 seconds) rolls in with 1321 energy – proper groundswell. But winds are cross-shore and lumpy, making it a battle. Only for the hardcore.
Wednesday, September 9th is a beauty: 1.9m SE swell at 11 seconds, clean cross-off wind from the SW, and combined energy of 1042. Excellent for advanced surfers, and yes, crowds will be there.
Later, on September 12th, a 2.4m E swell shows up, but the wind is cross-onshore and ugly. Energy is strong at 1821, but the surface will be a mess. Skip it.
Best bets: Wednesday the 2nd and Wednesday the 9th. Clean, powerful, and worth the wait.
Rusty out.

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.
