Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what’s going on at Punta Prima.
First off, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—there’s almost nothing doing for the first week. From July 13th all the way through to the morning of July 21st, it’s flat, tiny, and messy. The swell is barely a ripple, the wave energy is weak (all readings under 100), and the wind is just no good. A long, frustrating gap for any surfer.
But then, on Tuesday morning, July 21st, things finally look up. We’ve got a pulse of moderate energy (combined energy of 205) with a 1.2m swell coming from the NE. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not a classic groundswell, but the wind is glassy. Zero wind. That’s a game-changer for clean surf. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no complaints there.
Punta Prima is an exposed break, and while that NE swell isn’t its ideal direction (it likes ESE better), the clean, glassy conditions make it the standout session of the whole forecast. This spot is inconsistent and best for beginners, and at 1.2m it’s a perfect size for them. Just remember, the glass-off is only in the morning—by afternoon the wind turns cross-onshore and it’s all over.
After that, it’s back to the same old story: tiny swells under 2ft and onshore breezes for the rest of the month. A real dry spell.
So mark that Tuesday morning on your calendar. It’s the only real window.
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.
