The Lowdown
Right, let’s take a look at what’s on offer around Punta Prima. To be honest, mate, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The forecast shows a real lack of any decent swell energy for the next two weeks or so, and most of the time the wind is going to mess things up anyway. You’ll be looking at a long, flat spell with only tiny waves and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore breeze. Not much to get excited about for a paddle surfer.
The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd of July—nothing but tiny, weak surf with poor conditions. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are the same story: small, messy waves, though Saturday morning the 25th does see a brief moment of glassy conditions with a 2ft swell from the south, but it’s still just weak energy (25). It’s not worth rushing out for.
The first glimmer of something surfable comes on Sunday the 26th of July in the morning. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the northeast, with a period of 5 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is a laughable 88—still weak—but it’s the cleanest the beach will look all week. The water is a warm 83°, and that’s over 5° warmer than usual, so it’s very unusual for the time of year. That’s your best bet across the whole 16 days, and even then it’s only “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” After that, it’s back to the doldrums.
From Monday the 27th of July right through to Thursday the 6th of August, the swell stays tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy readings are all in the single or low double digits. There are a few more glassy mornings—like Friday the 31st of July morning and Sunday the 2nd of August morning—but the swell is just too small to do anything with, sitting at 3ft or 1ft with weak energy. The setup here is a beach break, and with the lack of any real push, it’s not going to hold your interest.
So, if you’re hanging for a wave, your standout is the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. Get out early for the cleanest, warmest water you’ll see, but keep your expectations low. It’s a long, quiet run for the rest of the forecast.

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.
