Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here with the full look at the next 16 days.

Alright, listen up. We’ve got a decent run of surf coming our way, but you’ve gotta pick your moments. The standout session for the whole period is the morning of Saturday the 15th of August. We’re looking at consistent 4ft of SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, sliding into Punta Roca. The wind is glassy, so the place will be a dream. The combined energy reading is strong at 843. It’s going to be proper good. The crowds are a bit of a factor here, as this spot can get busy, so get down early.

We start on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning is the pick of the week. A clean 3ft of SW groundswell, period at 13 seconds, and the wind is completely glassy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 87°. The wave energy is moderate at 292. It’s a great way to kick things off, but it’s a morning-only deal. The afternoon turns into a cross-on mess.

Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th are for the dedicated. The swell drops to 2ft and 2ft, respectively. The mornings are glassy, so you can get a few clean ones, but the energy is weak (186 and 166). Thursday the 6th is the same story: small glassy waves in the morning, then onshore junk in the afternoon.

Now, Friday the 7th of August is a real highlight. The morning sees a 2ft swell, but the period jumps to 18 seconds, and the energy skyrockets to 529. The wind is glassy. This is a long-period groundswell that will wrap into the point beautifully. It’s a very good session.

Saturday the 8th of August is the best of the first week. The morning brings 3ft of clean, offshore wind swell. The period is 16 seconds, and the energy is strong at 750. This is another standout. The afternoon is a bit questionable with the wind switching, but the morning is the goods.

Sunday the 9th of August morning is also very good, with 4ft of SW groundswell, glassy conditions, and strong energy at 531. The afternoon turns choppy again.

The second week is still promising, but a bit more of a gamble. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have clean, smaller waves in the mornings. Wednesday the 12th has a glassy morning with 2ft and a 16-second period, and Thursday the 13th has clean offshore winds on 2ft of SW groundswell. Friday the 14th morning has a 2ft, 19-second period groundswell – very long period, which will be a test of patience but the waves will be lined up.

Then we get to the big one. I already told you, Saturday the 15th of August morning is the absolute best of the whole forecast. 4ft, 16-second period, glassy, and huge energy. The afternoon turns cross-on, so it’s a morning mission.

Sunday the 16th of August looks similar: 4ft of glassy SW groundswell in the morning. It’s the second best of the second week.

Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th of August finish the run with clean, smaller surf in the mornings, 3ft, and offshore winds.

Bottom line: There are no gaps in the good surf. The mornings of Friday the 7th, Saturday the 8th, and especially Saturday the 15th are the ones to circle. Get on it.

Rusty.
