The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Punta Prima. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with basically nothing to get excited about. The water is cooking at 81°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s well above average and feels like a bath.
The whole 16-day outlook is a flat, quiet run. From Sunday 30 August right through to Monday 14 September, there’s barely a ripple. The first few days have zero surf – flattish, glassy mornings but no swell to speak of. From Tuesday 1 September, we start seeing tiny pulses of weak easterly swell, but it’s all under 3 ft, with periods of 4 to 5 seconds – that’s short, weak windswill. The combined energy never cracks 70 (peak is 62 on Wednesday 2 September morning), so we’re talking feeble, disorganised slop.
The wind is a problem too. For most of this period, it’s cross-on or onshore from the east or northeast, with speeds up to 12 mph, making things choppy and messy. There are a few glassy windows – like Monday 31 August morning and Tuesday 8 September morning – but with no swell, it’s just flat calm.
The only faint glimmer shows up on Wednesday 9 September morning. That morning brings a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the southwest at 6 mph, and the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the northeast with a 5-second period and combined energy of 69. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and honestly, that’s about as good as it gets – a 3 ft, short-period dribble, not worth paddling out for. The rest of the week is back to poor surf.
So, there’s no standout, no secret session, no reason to wax up. This is a dead period for surfing at Punta Prima. It’s a consistent area, so this kind of blank run happens, but it’s a long one. Keep your fins dry and wait for the next pulse.
Stay salty,
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.
