Alright, listen up. Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of clean, consistent SSW groundswell on the cards, and the conditions are looking prime for the advanced crew. The standout is without a doubt Tuesday, July 7th. That morning, Punta Brava is going to be pumping with head-high plus swell at 4ft from the SSW, with a proper 18-second period. That's serious energy and with light offshore winds from the NNE, it’s going to be firing. This is for experienced surfers only—too much power for the groms.
The weekend starts off nicely. Saturday morning, July 4th kicks us off with a clean 3ft SSW swell, a long 15-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. Good energy, clean face, a real solid opener. Sunday morning, July 5th is very similar, with 3ft SSW swell and light cross-off winds. A little more energy keeps it fun.
Monday morning, July 6th sees a slight drop to 3ft, but the period bumps up to 16 seconds and winds are clean. Good energy. Then we roll into that Tuesday (7th) I mentioned, which is the pick of the whole period.
Wednesday morning, July 8th is still solid with 4ft SSW and a 16-second period, plus offshore winds. Strong energy. Thursday morning, July 9th sees the swell ease a bit to 3ft, but the wind goes glassy. That's a beautiful, clean session right there.
Friday morning, July 10th is another glassy morning with a smaller 3ft SSW swell. Perfect for logging or a longboard. After that, the afternoons tend to get a bit messy with onshore winds and thunderstorms, so mornings are your window.
Moving into the second week, it’s more of the same but a little less consistent. Saturday morning, July 11th is worth a look with 4ft SSW and cross-shore winds. Sunday (12th) and Monday (13th) mornings offer clean, smaller waves. Tuesday afternoon, July 14th has a clean offshore wind window with 3ft SSW swell. Wednesday (15th) and Thursday (16th) mornings are both clean and waist-high plus. Then Friday morning, July 17th turns glassy, and Saturday morning, July 18th is looking promising again with 4ft SSW swell and glassy conditions. The run finishes strong on Sunday morning, July 19th, with a 4ft, 17-second SSW groundswell and glassy winds. Lots of energy on that last day but still two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.
So bottom line: Be ready for Tuesday the 7th. That's the one. The mornings are your best friend for the whole run.
Rusty.

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