The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Punta Prima in terms you can feel. The next 16 days are a tough watch. I’ve looked at the whole forecast, and there’s no reason to get wet until the morning of Saturday, September 19th. That’s a nine-day stretch of nothing.
The water temperature is 81°F right now, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. The ocean feels like a bathtub, but that’s the only good news.
The first real chance is Saturday the 19th morning. Swell is 4ft from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 148. The wind is glassy, meaning the surface will be clean. But the waves are just “surfable but very ordinary.” The break is inconsistent, so you’ll be scratching for waves, and it’s often crowded, so expect company.
Sunday the 20th morning is your next best shot. Swell is 4ft from the ESE, period 7 seconds, energy at 143, with a clean cross-offshore wind. Again, it’s ordinary, but it’s the most rideable it gets.
The rest of the window is a slow slide into flatness. Tuesday the 22nd has a long-period groundswell of 10 seconds, but the swell is only 2ft from the NE, so it’s weak and gutless.
For a spot that’s exposed, this is a brutal run. If you’re a beginner, the 4ft on the 19th is your limit, but the inconsistency and crowds will test your patience. For everyone else, it’s a low-percentage gamble. Forecasts can flip, but right now, I’d find something else to do.

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.
