Table - best surf conditions forecast for Punta Roca over the next 16 days.
Alright Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple weeks. It’s all about Punta Roca, and that classic SSW swell. The water is sitting at about 85.8°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year—nice little bonus.
The first proper call is Wednesday morning, July 8th. We’ve got a 5ft SSW swell with a 16-second period pushing through, and the wind is glassy from the NNW. It’s a standout session—clean, powerful, and the point will be working perfectly. Thursday the 9th morning is almost as good, with 4.3ft of the same SSW pulse and another glassy morning. The energy is in the strong range (over 2600 combined), so you’ll feel the push.
Friday the 10th morning drops to 3.3ft but it’s dead flat calm—ideal for cruising. The weekend keeps things going: Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th have 3.3ft to 3.6ft SSW swells and glassy conditions in the early hours. The spot can get a crowd, so beating the alarm is your best bet.
After that, into the second week, the swell holds in the 2.5ft to 3.3ft zone. The mornings are still the best bet for clean, offshore and glassy windows. The energy drops to moderate, but the point will still offer up fun, rideable lines. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th are your best days to lock in. Don’t sleep on them.

Information about the Punta Roca Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Punta Roca provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Punta Roca can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Punta Roca surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Punta Roca) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Punta Roca may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
