The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Punta Rosarito over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – this one’s a tough sit. We’re lookin’ at a real quiet stretch ahead.
Right off the bat, the pattern is pretty flat. For the first week and a half, from Sunday the 26th of July right through to around Friday the 7th of August, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, mostly around 2ft to 1ft, and it’s coming from the SW or WSW with periods that bounce around but never really lock in. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly sittin’ under 300 (265 to 285 early on) and dropping into the double digits (83 to 38) by the end of that first week. Winds are a constant cross or cross-onshore, never offshore, so the surface is always a bit choppy or rippled. It’s just poor surf conditions day after day. This is a proper blank run.
The water temp on Sunday the 26th is a toasty 73°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual. But with no waves, it’s a swim, not a surf.
There’s a little blip of energy on Sunday the 2nd of August, with a period droppin’ to 8 seconds and a direction shift to WNW, but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is weak at 131. Still poor conditions.
After that, it just fades further. The second week, from the 4th of August onward, the swell drops to 1ft to 0.7ft, and the combined energy is way down, barely cracking 100. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem, nothing to get excited about. The wind is never favorable for clean surf.
Honestly, for a consistent reef break like Punta Rosarito, this is a tough stretch. No standouts. If you’re itchin’ for a paddle, you’re better off waitin’ for the next system. The only thing that saves this is that it’s a consistent spot – it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change.
Rusty, out.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Punta Rosarito may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
