Guarita is a surf spot located inside Guarita State Park, known for its scenic beauty and occasional surf opportunities. It can get pretty crowded during the summer and on weekends, so plan your visit accordingly if you prefer a quieter session. The spot offers a mix of surf conditions ideal for different levels, with some spots being suitable for beginners.

The best swell direction for Guarita is from the East, although it can also handle swells from the South. You can expect the waves to work well at sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter). The surf breaks primarily over rocky ledges and sand, creating both left and right-hand waves. When the wind blows from the Northwest and the tide is low, mid, or even high, you might catch some decent sessions here. It's a spot where beginners can start to get a feel for the waves in a relatively controlled environment.

With the right swell and wind conditions, Guarita can provide powerful, protected peaks that are more focused and consistent than the surrounding beach breaks. Still, make sure to check the forecast and conditions before heading out, as it can vary. Since it’s in a state park, it’s a good idea to respect the environment while enjoying your day at the beach.
