The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks at Guarita.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way. The first few days are a bit of a write-off for clean, quality surf, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. The standout morning is going to be Saturday, the 29th of August, when things come together nicely. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the east with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is going glassy – absolutely dead flat, which will make for some clean, silky walls. The combined energy is a moderate 226, so it’s not a mountain of power, but for a morning session, that’s your best bet. The water is sitting at 60°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent suit.
We kick off on Wednesday the 26th with a bit of size – 7ft from the SSE – but that comes with a north-northeast cross breeze, making it choppy. The energy is high at 1748, but the quality is poor. That’s a pass for me. Thursday and Friday are similar stories with onshore winds and lower energy. Friday afternoon sees the swell dropping to 5ft and the wind turning light, but it’s still cross-on.
Now, as we move into September, there’s another potential highlight to keep an eye on. Monday the 31st of August has a morning session with 6ft from the east-northeast, but it’s a bit sloppy with a cross wind. The afternoon, however, cleans up nicely with a light southwest cross-offshore breeze, making the 5ft swell look much more inviting. The combined energy is a healthy 571, and the conditions are described as very clean. That Monday afternoon could be a real sneaky winner.
Looking further out to Monday the 7th of September, we see another pulse of 7ft east-northeast swell, but the winds are light and variable, mixing up the surface. Then Tuesday the 8th has a similar 7ft swell with a bit more energy (1065), but again, the winds are not fully cooperating. Those are for the patient and the hopeful, as we’re talking about a week and a half away. The long-range stuff is promising but less certain.
All in all, if you want the best of the bunch, set your alarm for Saturday morning, the 29th of August. The Monday afternoon on the 31st is a close second. Don't bother with the afternoons mid-week unless you like a chop.

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.
