The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. The long-range story is mostly flat and sleepy, with only a quick blink of something slightly better at the very end.
This 16-day run is dominated by a long, flat spell with only a minor uptick in energy right at the finish line. For the most part, we’re looking at knee-high bumps and ankle-biters. It’s tough to find a standout. The one thing that stands out is the water; at Punta Prima, it’s a balmy 79°, running a massive 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s unusual.
Heads up, there’s a major gap in decent waves. From Monday the 14th all the way through to the 29th, it's pretty grim.
Monday the 14th is a wash-out. We’ve got a tiny 0.4 ft swell from the SE with a period of just 4 seconds and combined wave energy of only (6), plus a NNE cross-onshore breeze. Conditions are poor. The afternoon is even worse with onshore wind.
Tuesday the 15th drops to a microscopic 0.2 ft from the ESE (1 energy units) with glassy morning conditions. It looks pretty, but there’s no rideable wave.
The rest of that first week and the second week is the same story. From Wednesday the 16th through to the end of the month, the swell height occasionally lifts to around 4 ft on the 19th of September, but it’s always with cross-onshore or onshore winds, and every wave comment reads "poor surf conditions". Many days show zero combined energy. It’s just not happening.
The only tiny blip of hope is right at the end. On Tuesday morning the 29th of September, we see a period of 6 seconds from the S, with a 2 ft swell and 0 mph winds. It’s glassy but small.
Even the afternoon push of energy on the 29th—combined swell energy hitting 108 and a 3 ft swell from the NE (period 6s)—still has poor surf conditions and a cross-onshore breeze. That setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
To sum it up: It’s a long, flat wait with only a brief, uninspiring window at the very end. The water is warm, but you won’t need more than a soft-top for a splash.
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.
