Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid window of surf coming up at Punta Roca, a classic point break that loves a good SSW swell. The water is sitting at 86°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The real action kicks off Tuesday morning, July 21st. The swell is a clean 3ft from the SSW, with a long 15-second period that’s gonna bring some real push. The wind is glassy out of the WNW, and the combined energy is sitting at a solid 527 (moderate). It’s not the biggest, but it’s going to be clean and lined up nicely. This is a good morning for a smooth session.

Wednesday morning, July 22nd, is another glassy start with the swell holding at 2ft from the SSW, period dropping a touch to 13 seconds. Energy is lighter at 281 (weak), but still very surfable. The crowds are "sometimes" here, so you might have a few friends out, but it’s nothing to worry about.

Now, keep your eyes on the weekend. Friday morning, July 24th, starts with a calm, glassy sea and a building 3ft SSW swell with a very long 24-second period. The energy jumps to 956 (moderate). That’s a proper groundswell pulse. These long-period swells can be a bit tricky for a point break, but at this size, it should be peeling beautifully.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is the standout. The swell is up to 3ft from the SSW, still with a long 21-second period, and the winds are glassy from the east. The combined energy is a strong 1144 (moderate). This is going to be excellent for experienced surfers. The sets will be clean, the waves will have shape, and the gaps between sets will make paddling out a breeze. This is the one to aim for.

Sunday morning, July 26th, keeps the quality high with a 4ft SSW swell, 19-second period, and glassy NE winds. Energy is 1094 (moderate). Another excellent morning for those who know what they’re doing.

Monday morning, July 27th, brings a 5ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the north. Energy jumps to 1539 (strong). This is getting into the expert zone, but the conditions are pristine. If you’ve got the skill, this is a special session.

The swell peaks on Tuesday morning, July 28th, at 6ft from the SSW, with a 17-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is a strong 1747 (strong). This is big, powerful, and clean. Only for the experienced crew.

After that, the swell slowly eases through the rest of the week. Wednesday morning, July 29th, still has a solid 5ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and glassy winds. Energy is 1214 (strong). Thursday morning, July 30th, drops to 5ft but with a shorter 14-second period and glassy winds. Energy is 924 (moderate). Friday morning, July 31st, is calm and glassy with a 4ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and energy of 584 (moderate).

The first week of August sees the swell fade further. Saturday and Sunday mornings, August 1st and 2nd, offer smaller 3ft to 3ft SSW swells with glassy or clean winds. The energy drops to the 300-400 range (weak to moderate). Still fun for a longboard, but not the standout session.

There’s a bit of a blank spot in the afternoons, with onshore winds and poor conditions, but the mornings are where it’s at. The real gold is the Saturday and Sunday morning sessions on the 25th and 26th of July. That’s where the quality, the size, and the wind all line up perfectly.

Rusty out.
