The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again, switching over to imperial for you.
Let’s be honest, the 16-day forecast is flat as a pancake for most of it. The only break with any swell is Punta Prima, and it’s a long, drawn-out period of nothing special.
Punta Prima is an inconsistent beginner wave, open to an ESE swell direction. The water’s running at 82°, which is way warmer than it should be for this time of year.
On Monday the 24th, forget it. A tiny 2ft easterly swell with a 6-second period and weak energy (16). No go.
Tuesday the 25th morning is the best of a bad lot. The swell comes up a bit to 3ft from the SSW, same short 7-second period, energy at 75 (weak). There’s a light offshore wind from the W, so the surface will be clean. It’s surfable, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Thursday the 27th morning offers the same 3ft SSW swell, 7-second period, 77 energy, and glassy conditions. Clean but still ordinary.
Friday the 28th morning stands out. Swell is still 3ft from the SSW, but the energy finally climbs to 113 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the NW, keeping it clean. For an inconsistent spot rated 2/5, this is your best shot.
After that, it’s a long stretch of tiny waves, onshore winds, and poor conditions from the 30th all the way to the 8th of September. Swell stays under 3ft, periods are short, and energy is weak.
If you’ve got to get wet, Friday morning the 28th at Punta Prima is the one—clean, a little bit of push, but don’t expect any barrels.
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.
