Punta Roca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Grab a coffee and let’s dig into this forecast for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s a proper little gem when conditions line up.

The general pattern is a slow build into a really solid run of swell, starting with a few small, clean days before the real energy kicks in. There’s a bit of a waiting game at the very start, but once we get into it, there’s some proper quality on offer.

Thursday morning, the 23rd of July, things are tiny but glassy. Swell is a weak 4ft from the SE, with a short period of 7 seconds, so the energy is pretty low at 219. It’s clean though—dead glassy with a light ESE breeze. It’s a gentle start, but there’s a lot more to come.

The real standout window opens up on the morning of Saturday, the 25th of July. That’s when we see a jump in quality. The swell hits 3ft from the SSW, with a long period of 21 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 1170. The wind is dead calm, so it’s absolutely glassy. This is a classic point break setup, and that long-period groundswell will wrap beautifully around the point at Punta Roca. It’s a consistent spot, and with that kind of super clean texture, it’s going to be magic. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Sunday the 26th is another cracker. Morning glass with 4ft from the SSW, period still long at 19 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 1247. The wind is a light ENE breeze, just enough to keep it glassy. This is top-tier stuff.

The biggest swell of the run hits the morning of Tuesday, the 28th of July. The swell is 6ft from the SSW, with a 18-second period, and the combined energy is a whopping 1938. That’s proper power. The wind is light from the south, glassy, so it will be clean. This is a solid size for a point break, and it’s going to be a serious session. Keep in mind, at this size, it’s not beginner territory. It’s going to be a standout for experienced surfers who know the line-up.

As we roll into the first week of August, the energy drops off. The mornings of the 3rd and 4th are small, clean, and glassy, but the swell is only 2ft to 2ft. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. From the 5th onwards, it’s pretty quiet, with small glassy mornings but barely enough swell to get excited about. The 7th of August morning shows a bit of a pulse with 2ft from the SSW, a long 18-second period, and clean glassy conditions, but the energy is still low at 440. It’s a nice way to finish the outlook, but not a standout.

So, if you’re looking to score, the window from Saturday the 25th through Tuesday the 28th of July is the real deal. The point will be firing with clean, long-period groundswell. Get on it.

Rusty.
