The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day outlook for Punta Prima is a tough one. There’s a long, dry gap at the start with no real surf to recommend at all. From Tuesday the 8th of September right through to Monday the 21st, the conditions are just poor. We’re talking tiny swell, weak energy, and messy winds. It’s a dead run for almost two weeks.
Tuesday the 22nd of September is the first time you’d even think about paddling out. The morning brings a bit of life with a 5 ft swell out of the east, period of 6 seconds, and combined energy sitting at 182 (moderate). The wind is light and clean from the SSW, so it’s glassy and nearly offshore. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got. That afternoon gets blown out by a moderate cross-shore breeze, so the session is a morning-only window.
After that, it drops back to nothing. Wednesday the 23rd of September morning shows a little glassy 3 ft east swell, but energy is only 47 (weak) and it’s back to poor conditions.
Honestly, for Punta Prima, it’s a quiet spell. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and the forecast shows nothing that’ll get you excited. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. If you’re desperate, the Tuesday morning window is your only play, but keep expectations low.
Stay patient, mate. It’ll turn around.

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.
