The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next 16 days for Punta Prima. I gotta be straight with you – the surf forecast is looking pretty bleak. This stretch is a flat spell that’ll test your patience. The only break in the mix is Punta Prima, and it’s an inconsistent one that rarely gets good. Right now the water is sitting at 81° – that’s a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wettie if you even bother to paddle out.
We start off on Friday the 17th with nothing but small, weak swell and poor conditions. Saturday the 18th is just as dead – glassy morning but no wave energy at all. Sunday the 19th through the following week is more of the same: tiny scraps of swell, mostly from the wrong directions, and onshore wind messing up the surface. There’s a long stretch with basically zero surfable energy.
Now, towards the end of the window things try to change, but not in a good way. On Tuesday the 28th we see a bump in swell height to 4 ft from the NE, with moderate combined energy (136). But the wind is cross-on, so it’s messy. Then Wednesday the 29th morning goes glassy with a small 1 ft swell, but it’s short period (8s) and still marginal. Thursday the 30th pushes up to 4–5 ft from the east, but again cross-onshore and choppy.
The only moment that even hints at something better is Friday morning the 31st – 5 ft east swell with light cross-on wind, but the report says it’s marginal at best. Then Saturday the 1st of August morning comes in with a 7 ft ENE swell, and the wind is cross-on from NNE. The notes say wind and tide are favorable, but the swell is too big for this break – that’s expert territory only, and even then it might not line up right with Punta Prima’s optimum direction (ESE). Afternoon gets worse with onshore winds.
So bottom line: don’t get your hopes up. This is a classic dry spell for an area that doesn’t fire often. Could change, but right now it’s a waiting game. Keep the board in the bag.

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.
