The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up in the surf department.
First, a big gap. From now until the 14th of August, it’s dead. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, blowing 12 to 19 mph, and the swell is tiny—between 1 ft and 4 ft from the NE or ENE. The wave energy is weak, and the conditions are described as “poor” every day. A full week of flat, choppy nonsense.
The first hint of something better arrives on Friday the 14th in the afternoon. The wind eases to a light breeze at 6 mph from the NE, and the swell comes up to 4 ft from the NE with a 11-second period. The combined energy hits 606 (moderate), and the conditions become “marginal.” Still cross-onshore, but it’s a start.
The real standout is Saturday the 15th of August. Saturday morning is your best bet. The wind goes cross-offshore from the E at just 9 mph (gentle breeze), and the swell is 3 ft from the ENE at 9 seconds. The combined energy sits at 241 (moderate), and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions” with clean, glassy waves. The break is Punta de Guiria, a beginner-friendly, consistent spot exposed to the NE swell. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The wind is light, the conditions are clean, and the energy is decent. It’s not a big swell, but it’s the best you’ll get. The wind shifts to a cross breeze in the afternoon, so make it a morning session.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. Rest of the week through the 23rd is small, choppy, and cross-shore. No other standout days. The 18th has a clean window but the swell is only 1 ft, so it’s pretty flat.
Bottom line: everything is quiet until the 15th. Then, get out early Saturday morning at Punta de Guiria for the cleanest waves of the forecast. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.

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 Punta de Guiria 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.
