Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one spot that’s really gonna shine, and that’s Punta Roca, a consistent point break that’s got its eyes on the SSW swell. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 87°, so get that spring suit ready.

The first real action kicks off Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. We’re talkin’ clean, glassy conditions with the wind barely a whisper out of the NNE. Swell is small, around 2ft from the SSW, but with a 16-second period, that’s proper groundswell with some energy (400). It’s a fun, small-scale start.

Wednesday morning the 26th is more of the same—glassy, 2ft, 15-second period. Good for a slow roll, but nothing to write home about.

Thursday morning the 27th gets interesting. Swell drops to 1ft, but the period jumps to 18 seconds, and the energy climbs to 321. That’s a long, clean pulse for a point break like Roca, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be tidy.

Friday morning, the 28th of August, is where we start to see something better. Swell bumps to 2ft from the SW with a 19-second period, giving us 773 energy and glassy conditions. That’s a solid, clean morning with plenty of push for the size.

Now, Saturday the 29th of August is the first real standout. Morning session is lookin’ magic. 5ft of SW swell, a 16-second period, and the combined energy hits 1023. That’s moderate-to-strong wave energy. The wind is flat calm—glassy as a mirror. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, and the point break is gonna hold that long-period swell beautifully. It’s not too big for an intermediate, but it’s got enough grunt to get the blood pumpin’.

Sunday morning the 30th keeps the consistency going with 5ft and 14-second period, glassy wind, and 824 energy. Another very good session.

Monday morning the 31st is still glassy, with 4ft from the SW and 13 seconds. It’s startin’ to ease off, but still a clean, fun size.

We hit a bit of a lull in the first half of the week, with the swell dropping to 3ft-3ft, but the mornings stay glassy through Thursday the 3rd of September. Worth a paddle if you’re keen.

But then, Friday the 4th of September is the big one. We’re talkin’ 5ft of SW swell with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is 1273—strong. Glassy morning wind. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, and on a point break like this, those long-period lines are gonna wrap in perfectly.

Saturday the 5th of September is even bigger. 6ft from the SSW, 16-second period, 1383 energy in the morning, and glassy. That’s over 5ft, so it’s gettin’ solid for intermediates, but the experts are gonna be on it. The afternoon stays clean, too, with 5ft and glassy conditions. This is a true standout weekend.

Sunday the 6th of September holds strong with 5ft and clean offshore wind from the NNE in the morning—825 energy, beautiful shape.

Monday the 7th of September is still pumpin’ with 4ft, low wind, and glassy or clean conditions throughout the day. The energy stays around 761-796.

The second week carries decent momentum, with Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th showin’ mornings with 3ft and 3ft respectively, but with long periods (13-18 seconds) and glassy conditions. The energy is solid (607-846). It’s not the double-overhead stuff of the first weekend, but it’s reliable and clean.

The absolute best on offer is the weekend of the 4th and 5th of September. Punta Roca is gonna be firin’ with strong groundswell, glassy mornings, and that point break will handle the long-period energy perfectly. Crowds are possible—it’s “sometimes” busy—but for waves like that, it’s worth the company.

Rusty, out.
