Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s get into it.

Alright, so we’ve got Punta Roca calling our names for the next couple of weeks. This classic point break is set to fire on and off, mostly from a solid SSW to SW groundswell. The water is sitting right around 86°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

The first real taste of action comes on Tuesday morning, the 11th. It’s small but clean, with 3ft of SSW swell at a long 13 seconds. The wind is glassy from the NE, so you’re looking at silky conditions. The combined swell energy is moderate at (485). It’s not huge, but for a point break with that period, the waves will have shape.

Wednesday morning the 12th is even better. The wind goes totally calm, glassy as can be, and the swell holds at 3ft but picks up period to 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy (542). It’ll be clean as a whistle and lined up perfectly for the point.

Thursday morning the 13th is another glassy session with 2ft of SW swell at 15 seconds (349). Nice and clean again, but the size is still on the small side.

Now, Friday the 14th is where things start to get interesting. The morning brings 4ft of SW groundswell, 18-second period, and dead calm conditions. The combined energy jumps to (867). This is a standout morning – clean, powerful lines for the point.

Saturday the 15th is the real standout of the whole run. The morning session is firing with 5ft of SW swell at 16 seconds and glassy conditions. The energy is strong at (1037). This is solid, expert-level surf for the experienced crew. The point will be handling it beautifully, but it’s too big for beginners.

Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th both have clean mornings with light offshore winds from the N, and 3ft to 4ft of SW swell at 14-15 seconds (620 and 532). Good, consistent waves but not as powerful as Saturday.

After that, we roll into a stretch of smaller but still clean mornings. Tuesday the 18th has 3ft with a cross-off wind, Wednesday the 19th is glassy again with 3ft at 15 seconds (515), and Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st bring more glassy 2ft days. The energy drops into the moderate range.

The last week is a mixed bag of smaller swells and light winds, with the best being Saturday the 22nd morning – calm and glassy with 2ft of SW swell (406). There’s a long-period spike on Sunday the 23rd afternoon with 2ft at 18 seconds (519), but the cross-on wind will mess it up. The very end of the run on Wednesday the 26th morning is calm and glassy with 2ft at a very long 19 seconds (379), which could be fun and clean but tiny.

So, the real standout is Saturday the 15th morning. That’s your session. The next best is Friday the 14th morning. Get on it. The crowds are possible here sometimes, but on a good day like Saturday, everyone will be out. It’s a consistent break, so it’s not a surprise when it fires.
