The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for Punta Prima over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it's a quiet stretch.
Right off the bat, we've got a big fat zero for the first few days. Tuesday the 15th through to Monday the 21st of September is pretty much a write-off. The swell energy is basically non-existent, maxing out at a weak 76 (combined energy) on Sunday the 20th. Winds are a mess of cross-on and onshore, mostly from the east-northeast, just chopping up the tiny dribbles. The water is unusually warm – about 2° warmer than average for this time of year, which is notable, but with no surf it doesn't mean much.
There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Monday the 21st morning. We get a small 3ft swell from the east-northeast, period 5 seconds, and the wind goes light from the north-northwest, leaving it pretty clean. The wave energy climbs to 73, but it’s still just surfable in a very ordinary way. Not a stand-out by any stretch.
After that, we slip back into flatness or tiny, onshore slop until Tuesday the 29th of September. That morning, finally something shows some spine. The swell jumps to 5ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind goes glassy from the west. The combined energy hits 151, which at least feels like a real wave. That’s the pick of the entire forecast window – a clean, glassy morning with waist-high-ish sets. But don't get too excited; it's still rated as just surfable but very ordinary.
The afternoon gets messy again with a cross-onshore breeze. The following morning on the 30th has a 4ft swell but the wind is already cross-on.
Overall, Punta Prima is an inconsistent spot, and this run proves it. There’s a massive gap with nothing worthwhile. For the patient surfer, the glassy morning of Tuesday the 29th is the only real bet, but keep expectations low. The second week is a one-morning wonder, and even that is modest.

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.
