The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Punta Prima over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much, and it doesn’t really get going. The only half-decent window is Thursday morning, August 27th. The rest of the 16-day run is basically a write-off for any proper surf.
For that one morning, Punta Prima (Spain) will have some small, weak swell pushing in from the SSW at 4ft, but with a short period of only 7 seconds, it’s gonna be a bit rolly and lacking punch. The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is a good 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s notably warm, so you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW at 6 mph, which should keep the surface reasonably clean. The combined wave energy is a modest 184, so it’s not exactly firing. It is surfable, but it’s very ordinary.
After that, it’s a bleak run. Friday the 28th morning might see a tiny 3ft SSW swell but it drops off fast, and from Friday afternoon right through to the end of the forecast period on September 11th, the wave heights are mostly under 2ft, with periods so short they barely qualify as surf. The wind does go glassy a few times – like Friday afternoon, Saturday morning, and Monday morning – but there’s just no swell to work with. The energy numbers are all in the single or low double digits, meaning the ocean is flat.
Honestly, for a spot that’s inconsistent anyway, this is a classic dead period. If you’re desperate, maybe the Thursday morning session could give you a few soft ones, but otherwise, you’re better off leaving the board in the car. Because the swell is so small and the conditions are poor for most days, it’s hard to get excited. Forecasts can change, but this one’s looking pretty locked in for a long flat spell.
Rusty.

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