Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming up. We’re looking at a nice stretch of surf, anchored by a consistent, long-period SSW groundswell. The overall vibe is good, with a standout period that’s got me pretty fired up. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need a full suit.

The real highlight is Punta Roca. This point break is consistent, and it’s set to fire. The main event looks to be Friday morning, July 10. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a very long 15-second period, and the combined swell energy is solid at 586 (moderate wave energy). The wind is glassy – calm, zero wind. That’s about as perfect as it gets. The water is already a touch warmer than usual. It’s going to be clean, lined-up, and very good. This is the session to point for. The only downside? It can get crowded here sometimes, but for quality like this, it’s worth sharing the wave.

Saturday morning, July 11 keeps the magic going. The swell stays around 4ft, but the period stretches to 16 seconds, and the energy jumps to 690 (moderate). Wind is glassy again from the NNE. This is another prime session. Sunday morning, July 12 is still very good, with a 4ft SSW swell at 14 seconds and light offshore wind from the NNE, giving us clean conditions and 630 (moderate) energy.

Monday and Tuesday mornings, July 13 and 14, are good, clean sessions. Monday has a 3ft swell with glassy conditions (478 energy), and Tuesday has a smaller 2ft swell with offshore wind (334 energy). Wednesday morning, July 15, offers a clean 3ft with light offshore wind (364 energy). Thursday morning, July 16 is clean with a 2ft swell and cross-off wind (445 energy). Friday morning, July 17 is glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft (384 energy).

The second week is quieter but still offers some worthwhile windows. Saturday morning, July 18 has a clean 3ft SSW swell with offshore wind (464 energy). Sunday morning, July 19 is clean with a 3ft swell (366 energy). Monday morning, July 20 is glassy with a 2ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds (418 energy). Tuesday morning, July 21 is glassy again with a 3ft SW swell (453 energy). Wednesday morning, July 22 has a bigger 4ft swell, but it’s a short-period 8 seconds from the SSE, which is weaker and less organized. Thursday morning, July 23 is clean with a 2ft S swell (263 energy). Friday morning, July 24 is glassy again with a 3ft S swell (291 energy).

Then, on Saturday morning, July 25 we get another potential gem. It’s a small 2ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a crazy long 22 seconds. The energy is 602 (moderate) and the wind is glassy. That’s very long-period groundswell, and on a point like Punta Roca, it could be a dream. It’s a promising one, but we’re looking at a 2-week forecast, so keep an eye on it as it gets closer.

The afternoons through the whole period are generally poor. Onshore winds from the south or southwest mess up the surface, so don’t bother. Stick to the early morning windows.

So, bottom line: Friday morning, July 10 and Saturday morning, July 11 are the clear standouts. Don’t miss those. Everything else in the first week is good, clean fun, and the longer-range Saturday, July 25 morning has a lot of potential.

This is Rusty, signing off.
