Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ in. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ up.

We’re lookin’ at a solid 16-day window, and I gotta say, there’s a lot to get excited about. The pattern is lookin’ really good with a mix of fun, clean waves and some proper sessions on the horizon. The water’s sittin’ at a warm 87°, which is a touch above the average for this time of year—nothing crazy, but it’s nice to know it’s a little warmer than usual for Punta Roca.

The action kicks off on Thursday, August 6th, but let’s be real, the first day is a bit of a washout. The morning has some tiny 2ft SSW swell, and while it’s glassy, the energy is weak. The afternoon turns cross-on, so we’re just waiting for it to get better. Friday, August 7th, is where things start to turn. The morning brings a clean 2ft SSW swell with a long 18-second period and offshore NNE wind at 3 mph. The energy jumps up, and the conditions are clean. This is a classic point-break setup, and that long period groundswell will wrap in nicely here. The afternoon goes onshore, so get your session in early.

Now, Saturday, August 8th, is a standout. The morning is dead calm, glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the energy is pumpin’. This is the kind of morning you dream about. The break will be clean, lined up, and the long period will give you those long, drawn-out walls. The afternoon sees a little cross-on breeze, but the morning is the real deal.

Sunday, August 9th, is another great morning. Glassy conditions with a 4ft SW swell, 14-second period, and good energy. The wind is light from the north, so it’s clean again. The session will be sweet, but the afternoon turns onshore, so plan accordingly.

The following week is packed with good waves. Monday, August 10th, and Tuesday, August 11th, both have glassy mornings with 3ft SSW swell. The Tuesday afternoon is a real treat—glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, but the period jumps to 18 seconds, and the energy is strong. That’s a long-period groundswell that will be clean and powerful. Wednesday, August 12th, also has a glassy morning with 3ft SSW swell at 16 seconds.

The week of August 13th to 17th keeps the goodness rollin’. Thursday, August 13th, has a glassy morning with 2ft SW swell. Friday, August 14th, is a big one. The morning is dead calm, glassy, with a 4ft SW swell, 19-second period, and strong energy. That’s a very long period groundswell, and on a point break like Punta Roca, it’s gonna be a thing of beauty. The sets will be clean, powerful, and well-spaced.

But the real standout for the whole window is Saturday, August 15th, in the morning. We’ve got a 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, glassy conditions with a light north wind, and the energy is absolutely crankin’. This is not for beginners—when the swell gets over 5ft, it’s got some punch, and this is for experienced surfers. The waves will be solid, clean, and the break will be firing. The afternoon goes onshore, so make the most of the morning.

The final week, from August 16th to 21st, keeps the momentum going. Sunday, August 16th, has a clean morning with 4ft SW swell. Monday, August 17th, is glassy with 3ft SW swell. Wednesday, August 19th, has a clean morning with 3ft SSW swell. Thursday, August 20th, is glassy with 3ft SSW swell and 16-second period. The pattern is consistent, and the quality is there.

Overall, the best calls are Saturday, August 8th, and Saturday, August 15th mornings. The 8th is that perfect glassy, fun size, and the 15th is the bigger, more powerful session for the experienced crew. Crowds are possible at Punta Roca, as it’s known to draw a few, but with conditions this good, it’s worth it.
