The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what Punta Prima has cooking.
It's a grim outlook, mates. Looking at the full 16-day run from the 29th of August to the 13th of September, there's just no surf to get excited about. We're looking at a long, dry gap with zero quality waves on the cards. This is pretty normal for this spot, which is an inconsistent, exposed beginner break that rarely fires.
The water temp is a stunning 82°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year—great for a swim, but it won't help the waves.
The only sliver of hope might be the morning of Tuesday, the 8th of September. We get a glassy, clean surface with a tiny 1ft easterly swell. The energy is almost non-existent, but at least the wind isn't ruining it. The rest of the period is dominated by onshore and cross-onshore winds from the east, with swells rarely hitting 2ft and periods under 6 seconds. There's just no push.
For any other clean slot—like the mornings of the 30th, 31st of August, or 6th and 9th of September—you'll find flat water. Good for a body surf, but not a paddle. With such small, weak swell and constant onshore wind, this is likely better for kite surfing than a traditional surf.
Don't get your hopes up for the second week; the pattern stays flat and weak.
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.
