The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for Punta Prima over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The ocean’s looking pretty flat and uninspired right from the get-go. We're looking at a long, dry spell starting from August 9th. For day after day, the swell just isn't there, with weak little waves barely pushing 2 ft and the combined swell energy sitting in the doldrums, mostly under 40 – that's barely a ripple. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore for the first week, making things even messier. There are a few glassy mornings on the 10th, 11th, and 12th with a slight air, but there’s just no proper swell to make them worthwhile. It's a frustrating start, no two ways about it.
We get a tiny flicker of hope on August 19th, Wednesday morning, when the swell finally starts to show some life. We're looking at 4 ft from the east with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up to 234 – that's moderate energy, finally something to work with. But then the wind ruins it, blowing a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph on the afternoon. It's a classic case of “so close, yet so far.”
The only real window that’s even worth a mention lands on August 20th, Thursday morning. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the east, with an 8-second period and decent energy (136). The real winner here is the wind – it goes offshore from the west at a light 6 mph, keeping things clean. The wave comment even says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Still, that offshore window is rare in this forecast, so if you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your best and likely only shot. Because the swell size is under 5 ft, it’s okay for most levels, but it’s hardly going to set the world on fire.
After that, it’s back to the same old story – small, weak swells and poor wind into the final week. Overall, the water temperature is a scorcher, coming in at 84° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Bottom line: don't hold your breath. The morning of August 20th is the only standout in a very flat outlook.

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.
