The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – for Punta Prima, this 16-day stretch is looking pretty flat and frustrating. We’ve got a long gap coming right from the start with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water is sitting at 84° – that’s 6° warmer than it should be for this time of year, so it’s feeling like a bath out there.
From Monday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 18th, it’s basically all tiny dribble. Swell heights are hanging around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, periods are short – usually only 4 to 5 seconds, so they’re weak windswells with no push. The combined energy figures are mostly low two-digit numbers, between 2 and 54, which is nowhere near enough to get excited about. Winds are all over the shop, but even when it goes glassy on Tuesday morning the 11th and Friday morning the 14th, there’s simply no swell to work with.
It’s not until Wednesday the 19th that we see a tiny pulse of life. The morning brings 3 ft from the ESE at 6 seconds, with glassy winds – finally a clean surface. The combined energy sits at 64, which is still weak but it’s the best we’ve seen. Still, 3 ft with a period of just 6 seconds means short little sections and not much power, so it’s only really worth a splash on a longboard or a foily. That afternoon though, the wind swings onshore and it’s back to slop.
Thursday the 20th offers similar early potential – 3 ft to 4 ft, same ESE direction, period at 6 seconds but the winds stay cross-onshore, so it’ll be bumpy and messy.
After that, from Friday the 21st through to Tuesday the 25th, the swell just fades away again. Heights drop back to 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and energy numbers nosedive down to 3 and 8. Even the glassy moments on Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th can’t save it.
So, to be honest, there’s no hidden gem here. No real standout. The best you can say is Wednesday morning the 19th and maybe Thursday the 20th early – but even then, it’s just small and unremarkable. If you’re desperate for a splash, take the log out when it’s glassy on the 19th morning. Otherwise, save your energy.
This looks more like a lake most days than a surf break.

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.
