The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Punta Prima over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s looking pretty bleak for the paddle surfer. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, poorly directed swell and tricky winds coming up, so don’t get your hopes up. The first couple of days have a bit of energy, but it’s all small and sloppy.
Starting Monday, July 27th, we see a tiny 1ft swell coming from the east with a short period of 5 seconds. The morning is glassy, but that swell is so weak it’s barely worth calling a wave – combined energy is only (18). The afternoon turns onshore, so that’s a write-off. Tuesday and Wednesday the swell bumps up a touch to 3ft to 4ft, still from the east-southeast, but the period stays a weak 6-7 seconds. The cross-onshore wind keeps things messy; the highest combined energy we see is (107) on Wednesday morning, which is only just moderate. It's poor surf in my book.
Then from Thursday, July 30th, right through the first week of August, the swell just fades away. We are looking at a serious gap with almost nothing on offer. Heights drop below 2ft, periods drop to 4-5 seconds, and the combined energy falls to single digits. There are a couple of glassy or clean mornings – like Monday August 3rd morning with a 1.0ft bump and glassy conditions – but the swell is just too tiny (combined energy of just 4) to push a rideable wave. You can sit out there with a longboard and a prayer.
That dead spell stretches all the way to about Sunday, August 9th, where we see a tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft bump appear again, but it’s from a short period swell with weak energy and often onshore or choppy conditions. It’s just not happening.
To be honest, this stretch is more interesting for a kite surfer given the onshore wind on some of those afternoons, but for a surfboard, you are looking at a long blank run. For an inconsistent spot like Punta Prima, this kind of flat spell is pretty normal, so don’t lose faith – forecasts can change, but right now? There's nothing to get excited about.
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.
