The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Punta Prima over the next couple of weeks, and I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it – it’s been quiet. The water’s sitting at about 80°F right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so it feels nice if you’re just hanging out, but for catching waves? We’re in a real slow period.
The overall pattern is flat or tiny, messy surf for nearly the whole run. From Friday the 11th all the way through to the morning of Monday the 22nd of September, every session is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s close to a week and a half with nothing worth paddling out for. You’ll see a few little pulses of east-southeast swell, but they’re all getting messed up by onshore or cross-onshore winds, and the wave energy is weak – mostly in the low double digits or single digits (like 31 or 13).
The only real chance comes on the morning of Monday the 22nd. We get an east swell around 4ft, period about 6 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the northwest. The combined energy hits 175, which is the only decent number we see. It’s still just surfable but very ordinary conditions – not a standout. For a spot that’s inconsistent and exposed to east-southeast, this is your best bet if you’re itching to get wet. But to be honest, for the rest of the stretch, the setup looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that little window, it drops back to tiny, choppy leftovers through to the end of the month. No real standouts here. This is just how it goes sometimes in this area.
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.
