Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at a tough stretch for Punta Prima. Honestly, the 16-day outlook is pretty bleak. There are no good surfing options in the whole window, so I’ll give you the honest picture.
The first day with any surf on the cards is Monday the 6th of July, but that morning is flat as a lake with zero energy and glassy conditions – not a ripple. The entire first week is a write-off. Every day from Monday through to the following Monday shows tiny, weak swells, usually less than 2ft, with periods under 6 seconds. That’s windswell at best, and the direction is mostly onshore or cross-shore, so the quality is poor. The combined energy is pathetic – mostly single-digit values like 2, 3, or 6 – just nothing to work with.
The water temperature is a whopping 79°, which is more than 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual, like bathwater, but it won’t help the surf.
There is a slight uptick around Wednesday the 15th of July. Wednesday morning looks glassy with a little 3ft ENE swell, but the period is only 5 seconds, and by the afternoon it gets chopped up by onshore breeze. Still, the combined energy hits 49 in the morning – the highest we see – but that’s still weak (49). The swell direction (ENE) is off the optimum for Punta Prima (ESE), so it won’t wrap in well.
Thursday the 16th is tiny again, and the week after that offers nothing. The 19th of July Sunday afternoon shows a 4ft ENE swell with a 5-second period, but the wind is onshore at 12 mph and it’s still poor surf conditions. The combined energy is 86, which is still weak. No period over 8 seconds appears until the 20th, and even then, it’s only 8 seconds with onshore wind.
Bottom line: there are no standouts. Not a single day offers clean, rideable waves with good wind. For a spot like Punta Prima, which is inconsistent to begin with, this blank run is normal. It’s a beach setup with poor surf quality and onshore winds most days – honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing window than a paddle-surfing one when the breeze picks up. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the car.
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.
