Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, starting with a few small, clean days that’ll build into some real quality by the second weekend. The standout windows are Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th, with another absolute cracker on Saturday the 15th of August. The swell direction is a consistent SSW to SW, which is exactly what this spot wants to see.

Thursday, August 6th kicks things off with a small but clean 2ft SSW swell at 14 seconds. The wind is glassy from the NE at 3 mph in the morning, making for a real nice session on the smaller boards. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The energy is moderate (207). Thursday afternoon gets a bit bumpy with onshore wind, so stick to the morning.

Friday, August 7th is another beauty morning. The swell picks up a touch to 3ft, but the period jumps to 18 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. With zero wind and glassy conditions, it’ll be clean and lined up. The energy is strong (451). The afternoon gets a bit tricky with onshore wind, so again, sunrise is the move.

Saturday, August 8th – This is a standout. The morning delivers 4ft of SSW swell at 16 seconds, with glassy conditions from the ESE at 3 mph. The energy is pumping (702). This is going to be a really fun, clean day at Punta Roca. The afternoon sees the wind swing cross-on, so you want to be out there early.

Sunday, August 9th – Another top-shelf morning. A 4ft SW swell at 14 seconds, with glassy NE wind at 3 mph. The energy is still strong (540). It’s a very similar vibe to Saturday – clean, punchy, and fun. The afternoon gets chopped by a 9 mph onshore breeze, so the morning is where it’s at.

Monday, August 10th through Thursday, August 13th – The size drops back to the 3ft to 3ft range, but the mornings are still clean and glassy. A few afternoon sea breezes mess things up, but the early sessions are well worth it. The energy stays moderate (330-491).

Friday, August 14th – Things start to ramp up again. The morning sees 4ft of SW swell at a long 18 seconds, with glassy conditions. The energy is very strong (890). This is a big precursor to the weekend.

Saturday, August 15th – THE standout of the whole forecast. The morning delivers 5ft of SW swell at 16 seconds, with absolutely zero wind – glassy perfection. The energy is very strong (1141). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell is big enough to be a handful for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of time in the water, this is a day to remember. The afternoon gets a bit tricky again with onshore wind.

Sunday, August 16th – Still a good one. 4ft SW swell at 15 seconds, glassy morning conditions. The energy is strong (716). Another great morning session.

Monday, August 17th through Wednesday, August 19th – The quality holds. Clean offshore and glassy mornings with 3ft to 4ft SW swell. The energy stays solid (530-597). The afternoons are messy, but the mornings are gold.

Thursday, August 20th – A smaller day, 3ft SW swell at 14 seconds, with glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (304). A good, relaxing morning.

Friday, August 21st – The forecast wraps up with a bang. 4ft of SSW swell at 16 seconds, glassy conditions from the NNE at 3 mph. The energy is very strong (900). This looks like another fantastic morning to finish the run.

The crowds at Punta Roca can be a factor, so get out there early on the standouts, especially the 8th, 9th, and 15th of August. This is a cracking outlook.

Rusty.
