The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty again. Let’s break down the next 16 days at Punta Prima, but in feet and miles per hour.
I gotta be straight with you – there’s nothing to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a bust. Not one session gets the green light. We’re looking at flatness and poor conditions from start to finish.
Starting Sunday morning, September 13th, we’ve got a weak 3ft swell from the ESE with a short period of 6 seconds, and a cross-onshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. The combined energy is a weak 48. The water is a warm 80°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight. Monday the 14th is smaller, and Tuesday the 15th is near-flat with a clean offshore wind in the morning, but the swell is only 0.7ft. Wednesday the 16th is completely flat.
The biggest pulse shows up on Saturday the 19th with a 4ft swell from the E, period 7 seconds, and a combined energy of 161. But the wind is onshore from the ENE at 12 mph, so it’ll be choppy and messy. Not worth a paddle.
The rest of the run into the end of September stays small. We get some glassy, dead-calm mornings on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, but the swell is only 1ft to 2ft. Clean, but tiny.
Punta Prima can get crowded, but with no swell, the lineup will be empty. This stretch is a total dud. With the onshore winds and weak, small swell, this setup looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing on some of those days.
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.
