The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the next couple of weeks is about as bleak as a flat spell on a Tuesday. There’s a big ol’ gap of nothing at the start, so we’re looking at a long wait before anything even thinks about breaking.
The first real sign of life comes on Wednesday the 26th, but it's a tease. The swell is just starting to push through, but it’s still weak with only moderate energy (144). The waves are small, around 4 ft coming from the E with a short period of 7 seconds. That’s not going to light anyone’s fire. The morning is clean with a cross-off breeze, so it’s surfable but very ordinary. Afternoon gets messy. Honestly, this is nothing to get excited about.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. Tiny, weak, and onshore. The rest of the run through the end of August and into the start of September is flat or spilling out with lousy wind. There’s a mention of Punta Prima being a beginner spot, and with the swell so small, it’s the only crew that might find a knee-high dribbler, but the crowds are "often" around, so you’ll be sharing those tiny ripples.
The water at Punta Prima is sitting at a balmy 85°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The anomaly is over 8°F, so that’s very unusual – like a hot tub.
There are no standouts here. It’s a dead period. For a kite surfer, the stronger afternoon winds and choppy conditions might be more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, you’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf quality. The only real "surf" is a fleeting, ordinary window on Wednesday the 26th, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
