The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Got a look at the long-range for our stretch of coast, and I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a tough one. We’re staring down a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for over the next 16 days. The window starts on Thursday the 13th, but don’t get your hopes up.
From Thursday morning the 13th right through until Saturday the 22nd, it’s a complete washout. We’re talking flat, weak, wind-blown junk day after day. Swell heights barely crack 1ft, periods are a whimpy 4-5 seconds, and the wind is mostly onshore. The water is running at a very unusual 84° – that’s way warmer than normal for this time of year, but it’s not doing us any favours. The combined swell energy is pitiful, mostly single digits (14, 7, 3...). Honestly, you’d get more of a workout in a swimming pool. There’s a period around Saturday the 16th where we see a pulse of 3ft swell with 6-second periods (53 energy), but it’s coming with a stiff onshore breeze, so just messy, choppy slop. Don’t bother.
The only faint glimmer in this whole 16-day window shows up on the morning of Sunday the 23rd at Punta Prima. This beginner-friendly, inconsistent spot rarely gets a mention, but we’ve got a 4ft ESE groundswell with an 8-second period. The combined swell energy jumps up to a moderate 196, which is the best we’ll see by a mile. The wind is glassy – light and variable from the north – so the surface should be clean. It’s still not what I’d call pumping surf, but for a Sunday morning with clean conditions, it’s the only game in town.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The following week is tiny again, with onshore winds ruining any hope. That Sunday the 23rd is your one window. It’s not a classic, but it’s what we’ve got.
Stay patient. 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.
