Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The only real game in town for the next 16 days is Punta Roca. This place is a classic point break that loves a good SSW swell, and it’s looking like we’ve got a solid run of waves on the way.

Things kick off Sunday morning, July 12th, with a clean 4 ft SSW groundswell rolling in at 14 seconds. The wind is glassy from the ENE, so the surf will be super clean. The combined energy is sitting at 597 (moderate), and it’s not massive, but for a point break with that kind of period, the waves will be well-shaped and have some punch. Expect some fun, rippable waves. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.

The afternoons are a bit of a letdown through the first week with onshore or cross-on winds, so the call is to get out in the mornings. Monday morning, July 13th, is clean again with offshore winds from the NNE, offering 3 ft SSW swell. This pattern of small but glassy morning surf repeats through Wednesday, July 15th, and Thursday, July 16th, with the swell period stretching out to 16 seconds on Thursday, which is a long-period groundswell. That will make the waves a bit more lined up but with longer lulls between sets. The energy stays moderate.

The real standout is the final weekend. The morning of Friday, July 24th, shows a very long period swell of 24 seconds and 2 ft — the combined energy jumps to 688 (moderate). This is a sneaky good day for a point break, as the long period will wrap in beautifully. The glassy conditions from the east will make it perfect.

But the absolute best of the whole period is Saturday, July 25th, and Sunday, July 26th. Saturday morning has a 3 ft SSW swell with a 21-second period and offshore NNE winds at 3 mph. The combined energy hits 1309 (strong), and the data says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday morning, July 26th, is even better with 4 ft SSW swell, 19-second period, and the same offshore wind. The energy is 1544 (strong). This is a big, powerful, clean groundswell at Punta Roca, which is a point break, so it will handle the juice beautifully. For experienced surfers, this is a session to circle. The crowds here are sometimes a problem, so expect some company.

The second week also has some smaller but clean options, like Monday morning, July 27th, with 5 ft SSW swell and glassy conditions, though the energy is still strong at 1476. The afternoons remain poor for the most part.

Overall, the first week is small but clean, and the second week builds to a proper pulse. The standout is the final weekend: July 25th and 26th. Get on it.

Rusty.
