The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a flat spell and a half. The next week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at a long gap of nothing rideable, from now all the way through the first week of September. The swell is barely a ripple, and most days the wind is onshore or cross-on, just making things choppy and messy. There’s one small window that’s worth setting the alarm for, but you’ll need to be patient.
That window arrives on Thursday morning, the 27th of August. Punta Prima wakes up with a clean 4ft swell out of the SSW, with a period of 7 seconds. It’s not a groundswell, so don’t expect a whole lot of push, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW at just 3 mph. That’ll keep the surface clean, and the combined wave energy is moderate at 182. It’s the best we’ll see, but it’s still only a “surfable but ordinary” kind of day. The water is much warmer than normal for the time of year, sitting at 82°F.
Friday the 28th has a smaller pulse in the morning – 3ft from the SSW, clean with a light WNW cross-offshore, but the energy drops off to just 82. After that, it’s back to tiny, onshore dribble all the way through to the 10th of September.
So, the one standout is Thursday the 27th morning. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your moment. For everyone else, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
