The Lowdown
Alright, mate, I'm going to be straight with you: looking at the entire 16-day window here, there really isn't a single standout session. We're looking at a long, dry spell of tiny, weak surf. The real kicker is that every single entry in the forecast is marked as "poor surf conditions." We’ve got a solid gap from the start of the period all the way through to around the 18th of August where the swell is just too small to get excited about—mostly ankle to knee-high dribble, if anything at all.
The only real glimmer comes on the morning of August 18th and then into the afternoon of the 18th. That Tuesday morning, Punta Prima might see a tiny bump up to 2ft from the ENE, but it's only a 4-second period (weak, short-period junk) and the combined energy is a measly 10 (weak energy). It’ll be glassy though, so a longboarder might get a few knee-high wobbles.
The afternoon of the 18th is the biggest swell we'll see, hitting 5ft from the ENE, but with a short 6-second period. The combined energy finally bumps up to a moderate 138, but it's still "poor surf conditions." The wind is onshore from the ESE at 15 km/h, which will make it a bit of a messy, choppy wall. That size and onshore wind is more of a kite-surfing setup than a good paddle session.
Because we have no real quality options, there's nothing to highlight as a true standout. The only break we have to work with is Punta Prima, which is an exposed spot that's inconsistent and often crowded. The water temperature is a very unusual 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
So, in short, it's a flat spell with one possible afternoon of marginal, onshore slop on the 18th. It’s a tough run, but forecasts can change.

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.
