The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – this is a tough one. Punta Xarraca is a beach and reef setup that’s naturally inconsistent, and the next two weeks are mostly a write‑off. The first proper surfable moment doesn’t show up until Monday 3rd August, and even then it’s pretty ordinary. The water temperature is sitting at about 82°F – that’s a full 5.4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is really unusual. Don’t expect much else.
From now through the end of July, it’s flat. We’re talking days of nothing – a few tiny ripples on the 22nd and 23rd of July, but they’re barely ankle‑high, with periods of 4–6 seconds and combined energy in the single digits. Winds are light, sometimes glassy, but there’s simply no swell to work with. The 24th to the 2nd of August is more of the same – zero to tiny dribbles. You’ll be sitting on the beach, not in the water.
Then on Monday 3rd August morning we finally get a pulse: 3.6ft from the ENE, period 5 seconds, combined energy of just 59. That’s weak, but it’s the only game in town. The wind is glassy – calm, 0 mph – so the surface will be clean. But the swell direction is a bit off the optimum (NNE is what this spot likes), and the period is short, so expect crumbly, soft waves. It’s not a
