The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough run for Punta Prima. The entire 16-day outlook is a real struggle, with nothing that I’d call a proper surf session. The first solid wave of any size doesn't show up until the 9th of August, and even then, it’s a mess. Before that, we’re looking at days of tiny, poor surf. From the 1st up to the 9th, it’s mostly knee-high slop with energy readings barely hitting double digits, and the wind is often on it or cross-shore. The wait for anything worth paddling out for is a long one.
The only real bump in the whole run comes on Sunday the 9th of August. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the ENE with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy hits 98 (moderate). But here’s the killer – the wind is howling onshore from the ENE at 19 mph. That’s a fresh breeze and it’s going to churn the surface into a complete mess. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions," and with that wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing kind of day than a paddle-surfing one. The 10th of August morning has a waist-high 2ft ENE swell with an 8-second period and energy of 50 (moderate), but it’s still onshore wind. The rest of the days are just tiny, weak waves with light to moderate winds that never line up properly. The morning of the 11th, 12th, and 13th have glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1ft, so it’s a flat, pretty lake out there.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit drama, but there’s just no energy to work with. This spot is inconsistent, and this run proves it. It’s a blank spell, and we just have to hope the forecasts change for the better.
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.
