The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Punta Prima.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat, with nothing but tiny, weak waves and poor surf conditions. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off, really. We’ve got a long gap from the start with no real surf to speak of, and then a few days of tiny, weak energy that just won’t get it done. The forecast doesn’t give us a single standout session, so we’re just gonna have to wait it out.
For the first week, from Wednesday the 5th of August right through to Monday the 17th of August, it’s basically a desert. The swell is tiny—mostly 0.3 ft to 1 ft—with short, weak periods around 4 to 5 seconds, and the combined energy is laughable, barely cracking double digits (7 at best). The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, killing any small chance those dribbles had. There are a couple of glassy mornings, like Saturday the 8th and Wednesday the 12th, but the swell is so small (0.7 ft to 2 ft) that it’s barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Now, into the second week, things get a tiny bit better, but it’s still not worth paddling out for. On Tuesday the 18th of August, we see a little pulse of energy from the SSW—2 ft with a 6-second period, combined energy of 27. The morning has a light cross-offshore wind, which will keep it clean, but it’s still knee-high and weak. Then on Wednesday the 19th of August, there’s a slightly bigger north-east swell (2 ft, 7-second period, combined energy of 34), again with a clean cross-offshore breeze in the morning. The swell is coming from the NE, which is a fair direction for the spot, but it’s just not enough juice to get excited about. The period is still short, so it’ll be a bit of a bumpy, weak wave. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a real dry spell.
So there you have it. A long, flat run with no highlights. This is one of those times where the ocean just goes to sleep. Don’t stress, it’ll come back—forecasts can change—but right now, the board stays in the car.
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.
