Punta de Mujeres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s looking pretty grim for a proper surf at Punta de Mujeres. We’ve got a solid run of days with no real quality on the cards, so don’t get your hopes up for anything epic. The wind is just not our friend, and the swell is mostly small and junky. We’re looking at a long stretch of frustrating conditions.

First up, Saturday the 15th through to Monday the 17th are a write-off. The swell is there, around 5ft dropping to 4ft, but it's short-period and the wind is cross to cross-off, making everything lumpy and messy. There's just no push or shape to it. The combined energy is moderate at best (311 on Saturday) but it's not doing us any favors. Water temp is 73°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Just a lot of chop and frustration.

The next stretch, from Tuesday the 18th all the way through to the end of the month, doesn't offer much hope. We're looking at swell heights that hover between 3ft and 7ft, but it's all pretty weak and short-period. The wind stays mostly cross or cross-off, with a few moments of clean conditions, but the waves themselves are just weak and unorganized. It’s the kind of surf that has you paddling around more than actually riding. The energy is weak to moderate, with combined energy values mostly in the low to mid 100s and 200s, which tells you how gutless it is.

Now, for a real standout, there isn't one. If we’re being picky, the cleanest conditions look like they’ll be on Monday afternoon the 17th and a few mornings later that week, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. We’re talking knee-to-waist high slop at best.

There's some slight bump in size on the 29th and 30th, with swell getting up to 6ft and 7ft, but the wind is going to be up and cross, making it a messy and lumpy mess. That’s not a surf day, that’s a “go do something else” day. It’s not even worth the paddle out.

Overall, this is a blank run, plain and simple. It's one of those stretches where the ocean just doesn’t want to cooperate. We have a couple of windows where the wind cleans up but the swell is lacking, and a couple where the swell tries to show up but the wind ruins it. It's frustrating, but it happens. Forecasts can change, and we might get lucky with a late pulse, but as it stands, leave the boards at home and work on your tan.

This stretch looks more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers. The wind is up, the waves are messy, and it’s just not gonna be fun on a surfboard.
