The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window for Punta Prima, it’s a grim stretch. We’re talking about a long, lean run with barely a pulse. The first real chance to even *think* about paddling out doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday, August 7th, which is over a week away. Before that, we’ve got a solid week of flat to tiny, messy conditions. The swell is mostly weak and short-period, with the combined energy barely cracking 100 (mostly values between 2 and 68), which is just sad. The wind is usually onshore or cross-onshore, wrecking what little shape there is. The water is about 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a solid 5° anomaly, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit if you wear one.
Alright, so the only standout—and I use that term loosely—is the morning of Friday, August 7th. There’s a bump of ENE swell coming in at 5ft, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s short-period stuff, so it won’t have much push, but the combined energy hits 164, which is the most we’ll see all fortnight. The wind is glassy out of the SSW, so it’ll be clean. That’s the best we’re getting. For a beginner spot like Punta Prima, 5ft is right on the edge of being too big, but with the glassy conditions, it might be okay for the more confident ones. The swell is from the ENE, which is not the optimum ESE direction, but we’ll take what we can get.
The rest of the period is a write-off. After the 7th, it drops back to tiny, weak, and mostly blown out. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Monday, August 10th with 3ft and glassy wind, but it’s from the ESE and only has a combined energy of 86, so it’s pretty weak. Not worth the hype.
Honestly, this is a classic case of the forecast looking bleak, but it’s a normal blank run for an inconsistent spot like this. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, keep your board in the car and wait for the 7th. If you’re desperate, the morning of the 7th is your only shot.
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.
