The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' in our little slice of ocean over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a lean stretch. For the first couple of weeks, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing special. The waves that do show up are small, weak, and the wind is just never doing us any favours. It's a cross-off breeze pretty much non-stop, which just chops things up and keeps 'em from ever really cleaning up. You'll see some waist-high stuff, but it's all short-period wind swell, and the energy is just pitiful – we're talking readings around 10 to 100, barely a ripple. For days on end, it's just "poor surf conditions." Honestly, if you're itching for a paddle, you're better off finding a lake.
Then, right at the very tail end of the forecast, way out on Wednesday the 29th of July, things finally get a little interesting. The early morning shows a window where the wind actually swings offshore – light, clean, and from the ESE at 15 mph. The swell is still just 4 ft from the East, with a short 7-second period, but that offshore wind is a game-changer. It'll be the first time all month the surface isn't a mess. It's the only time in the whole 16 days that gets called "surfable," so that's where I'd be.
Now, the only game in town is La Punta. It's a beginner-friendly spot, and it's exposed to the north, so it'll pick up whatever little east energy is bouncing around. With that offshore wind, it'll be clean, but don't expect anything powerful. The combined energy is still low (117), so it'll be a fun, mellow session for the learners and longboarders.
Because the swell is small and the break is fairly consistent, it won't be a zoo, but the guidance says crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might see a few other folks who have been waiting just as long for a clean wave.
Beyond that one morning, the rest of the 30th is back to the same old cross-off chop. It's not much, but it's the only real chance we get. Get on it if you can.

Information about the La Punta Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Punta provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Punta can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Punta 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 (La Punta) 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 La Punta 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.
