Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Punta Roca, a classic point break that loves a good SSW to SW groundswell. The forecast shows a building pattern over the next few days, with some real standout sessions for those who can read the lineup.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit or a shorty should be fine.

We kick things off on Tuesday morning, 1st September. It’s small but clean, with a 3ft SSW swell rolling in at a solid 13 seconds. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. Combined energy is moderate at 387. It’s a nice little warm-up, but not the main event.

Wednesday morning, 2nd September, sees a slight bump up to 4ft from the SSW, with a 13-second period and glassy winds. The energy is picking up, hitting 588. This is a very good session for the intermediate crew, but the real juice is yet to come.

Now, the standout. Thursday morning, 4th September, is where things get serious. The swell is 5ft from the SW, with a long 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy reads 1251, which is strong. The wind is glassy, and the break is exposed to this swell direction. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The longer period will groom the line beautifully at this point break, giving you long, peeling walls. This is your best call of the first week.

Friday morning, 5th September, is another cracker. 5ft SW swell, 16 seconds, and dead calm conditions. The energy is still strong at 1281. This is another excellent session for the experienced surfer, just a shade bigger than Thursday. The afternoon holds up too, with 5ft and glassy winds – a rare double-header.

Saturday morning, 6th September, is still very good, with 5ft SSW swell, 15 seconds, and light winds. The energy is dropping to 858, but it’s still a quality session.

The second week sees a drop in size but the quality remains. Monday morning, 7th September, is clean with 4ft SW swell and 14 seconds. The wind is dead calm. Tuesday morning, 8th September, is small at 2ft but with a very long 18-second period – that’s a slow, lined-up groundswell that will work well on the point. The energy is 538, which is moderate.

The real late-cycle highlight comes on Thursday morning, 10th September. It’s only 3ft, but the period is a very long 17 seconds, and the energy is surprisingly high at 918 for that size. The wind is glassy. This is a sleeper session – low tide, clean lines, and no crowd if you’re early. It’s a promising long-range pick.

The following week stays small but mostly clean. Wednesday morning, 16th September, wraps things up with a 2ft SW swell, 16 seconds, and glassy conditions. Energy is 514. A nice way to finish the forecast window.

Overall, the best on offer is Thursday morning, 4th September, and Friday morning, 5th September. Don’t sleep on Thursday the 10th either, if you’re patient.

Rusty.
