The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a full 16-day window starting now, and honestly, the surf just isn't showing up. For the first ten days or so, there’s a long stretch where the conditions are so poor that I can't even recommend a paddle. The swell is tiny, the wind is often onshore, and the energy is basically non-existent. It’s a real bummer for a stretch that should be firing.
We’re looking at Punta Prima as our only option. The water temperature is sitting at a very warm 84°F with an anomaly of 6°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a real standout.
The first real chance at anything rideable doesn't come until the morning of Monday, August 17th. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the south, with a period of 5 seconds. That’s short-period, windswell stuff. The combined energy is a weak 13, so don't expect any power. The wind is light from the WSW, a nice cross-offshore breeze, which will keep the surface clean. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a while.
Then, on the morning of Tuesday, August 18th, we get a bit of a window. The swell is still tiny at 1ft from the ENE, but the period is a slightly better 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 15. The real positive here is the wind: completely glassy, calm from the south. That’s a major positive for clean conditions. It’s a morning for the longboard if you’re desperate.
Looking further out, the morning of Saturday, August 22nd offers a little more hope. The swell is still only 2ft, but from the east with a 6-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 41, which is the highest we’ll see in the whole run. The wind is light from the SW, a cross-offshore breeze, so it will be clean. It’s still small, but it’s the best energy we get.
Given the persistent small swell and the fact that Punta Prima is inconsistent, this is a period where you’re better off checking the forecasts again in a few days. It tends not to stay this poor for long. For now, the longboard is your only friend, and the 18th and 22nd are your best bets for a glassy or clean paddle.
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.
