Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, let's get this show on the road. The ocean’s been talking, and for the next couple of weeks, it’s got some stories to tell. Right off the bat, Monday morning is looking clean as a whistle with the water sitting at a warm 86°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year.

The first real window of opportunity kicks off on the morning of the 17th. Punta Roca will be showing some 3ft of southwest swell, but the real star is that glassy, offshore north wind. It’s going to be smooth out there, with a solid 14-second period putting some push behind those waves. The combined energy is moderate at 507, so there’s something to work with. This is your session to ease into the week.

The mornings are the key here. The afternoons, especially from Monday onwards, get chopped up by a cross-onshore southwest breeze. You’ll see the size hold around 3ft, but the surface gets messy fast, and it just turns into a fight rather than a flow. Stick to the dawn patrol.

Tuesday morning, the 18th, is more of the same goodness—clean, glassy, and super fun. The swell is still 3ft from the southwest, with that long 14-second period. It's a similar story on Wednesday, the 19th, with a touch more energy in the water, the combined energy reading 525. The period stretches to 15 seconds, which is great for a point break like this. It’ll be more lined up and have a bit more juice.

Then Thursday and Friday mornings, the 20th and 21st, see the swell dip a little to 2ft, but the conditions stay pristine with no wind. It's smaller, cleaner, and still fun for a longboard or a high-performance shortboard if you're looking to work on your turns. The period drops a bit too, but it's still rideable.

The following weekend, Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd, the size bounces back to that 3ft mark on Saturday morning with a glassy SE breeze, but there's a risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon that will likely put a damper on things. Sunday morning has a touch less size but still clean.

The real standout, though, is Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th. Mark these down. The swell jumps up dramatically. The morning of the 29th sees building 4ft of SSW swell, with a very long 17-second period. But the real gem is the morning of the 30th, when the swell pushes up to 5ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The energy readings are off the charts—1258 for the combined energy. That's strong, powerful stuff. There's no wind, it's glassy, and this is where Punta Roca turns into a proper beast. This is for experienced surfers only, as it'll be well overhead and pushing hard. The corners will be fast and hollow, a true standout.

After that, the waves settle back down a touch. Monday the 31st rolls in with 5ft in the morning, still fun, but more of a gentle giant compared to the weekend's power. The conditions stay clean with a light land breeze, and it's still well worth the paddle out.

By the time we get to the first of September, the energy is still there but beginning to taper. The morning of the 1st sees 4ft of SSW swell, glassy conditions, and you know the drill by now—get out early. There's still a lot of fun to be had, but that epic scale from the weekend has passed.

All in all, the mornings are your friends. There will be plenty of waves to be had, but the stand-out days are definitely the 29th and the 30th. Circle those.
