The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Punta Ositos over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this stretch and for the first week or so, it’s a bit of a tough watch. The forecast is pretty much all "poor surf conditions" right through to the end of the first week of August. The wind is a constant problem—always cross, cross-on, or cross-shore, making for chop and ripples on the surface. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft from the SW with a period that’s decent (15 to 18 seconds) but it just doesn’t have the energy to do anything with it. The combined energy is weak, bouncing between 141 and 224, so there’s nothing to get excited about.
We do see a bit of a shift on Tuesday, August 11th, where the morning session gets a "marginal" nod. Still, it’s only 1ft of SW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind is still cross-shore. It’s a tease, but it’s not surfable in any meaningful way.
The real standout, and I mean the only one worth mentioning, comes on the morning of Wednesday, August 19th. That’s over two weeks away. For the first time in the whole forecast, the wind swings onshore from the SSW at only 6 mph. That’s a light breeze, and it’s clean. The swell is still only 2ft from the SW, but with a 15-second period and the combined energy jumps to 282 (moderate energy). It’s going to be small, but glassy. For a spot that’s been hammered by chop for weeks, this is a real window of opportunity if you’re patient.
So, the bottom line: there’s a long, dry gap of nearly two weeks where the surf is poor. The one morning to circle on the calendar is the 19th of August. It’s small, it’s clean, and it’s the best we’ve got. Don’t hold your breath for anything else.
Stay patient, Rusty.

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 Ositos 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.
