The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with ya – the next 16 days are a tough watch for anyone wanting a proper surf. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead with barely a bump to get excited about. The first viable surf window doesn’t even pop up until the tail end of the second week, so you’re looking at an 11-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
There’s just one spot on the menu: Punta Prima. It’s an exposed setup that needs an ESE swell to work, but the energy coming in is weak as dishwater – the combined swell energy stays below 100 the whole time (15, 7, 8, 7, and so on). The waves are tiny, mostly 1 ft to 2 ft, with short, weak periods of 4 to 6 seconds. It’s a beginner-friendly break but inconsistent, so you can’t rely on it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Through July 30th to August 3rd, you get glassy mornings with offshore or calm winds, but the swell is just too small to bother. Afternoons turn choppy with onshore breezes. This pattern holds all the way through to mid-August. The weekend of August 8th to 9th offers a few clean windows with light offshore wind and a 2 ft swell from the south, but the period is still short and weak (19 combined energy). It might look pretty, but it won’t give you much to push into.
The only faint glimmer is around August 12th and 13th (Wednesday and Thursday). On Wednesday, August 12th morning, the swell picks up to 3 ft from the east with a 6-second period, and combined energy hits 82 – still weak, but the biggest we’ve seen. The wind is a messy cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy. Then on Thursday, August 13th morning, it goes glassy with a 3 ft swell from the ESE (44 energy) – that’s your best chance for a clean wave. Afternoon reverts to chop.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. If you’re desperate and have a log, the glassy Thursday morning on the 13th might give you a few ankle-biters, but don’t expect much. Crowds are likely at Punta Prima since it’s often busy, but with waves this small, even the lineup will be quiet. For paddle surfing, it’s a bust. A kite might get a look-in on those afternoon sea breezes, but that’s about it.
Forecasts can shift, so keep an eye on the horizon, but for now, leave the board in the shed.

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.
