Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid, persistent SSW groundswell lining up at Punta Roca, so that point is the only game in town. There are no other breaks to compare, so it’s all about catching it right. The water temp is hanging right around average for this time of year, nothing too crazy.

The real standout starts Monday the 6th of July and runs through the first few days. Monday morning sees a clean 3ft SSW swell with a super long 16-second period, pushing moderate wave energy (963) and cross-off winds. The real treat comes Monday afternoon when the wind drops to glassy and that period jumps to 20 seconds – that’s a very long groundswell, folks. The energy kicks up (1346), and while the point will handle it beautifully, this long period means the sets will be spaced out but absolutely walled. Expect some incredible, lined-up waves.

Tuesday the 7th is probably the pick of the bunch. We’re looking at 4ft of clean SSW swell at 18 seconds, glassy offshore N winds in the morning, and combined energy hitting 1409. Punta Roca is going to be firing with perfect shape. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets a bit too lined up, so hit that morning session.

Wednesday the 8th is another top contender with 5ft SSW swell, 16 seconds, and glassy NE winds in the morning. This is big enough to be a handful but still manageable for the experienced crew. The energy is strong at 1253. Thursday and Friday mornings (9th and 10th) offer clean, glassy conditions on a dropping swell (3ft to 4ft).

After that first peak, things stay rideable but the quality drops off. From around the 13th of July through the weekend of the 18th, the swell backs off into the 2ft to 3ft range. There are still clean windows – like the mornings of the 14th, 15th, and 16th – but the energy drops (down to around 300-400) and it’s more of a longboard or funboard kind of vibe. Crowds are always a possibility at Punta Roca when it’s good, but with the smaller mid-week stuff, you might get a bit more room.

Looking further out, into the week of the 20th of July, we see a promising sign. Tuesday the 21st of July shows a return of cleaner, longer-period swell. Expect 3ft SSW at 16 seconds with glassy E winds in the morning. The energy climbs back up to 532. It’s a long way off, so keep your eye on it.

The short version: Don't miss Monday afternoon the 6th through Wednesday the 8th of July. That’s the pick of the whole window – clean, long-period groundswell, offshore winds, and a point break that will just pump.

Stay stoked.
