Punta Negra Surf Forecast Guide

Overview

Punta Negra is a right-hand pointbreak that reels over an uneven reef. You may also see it called Punta Prieta.

When It Works

The point draws swell from west to northwest and is usable from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft. It's only moderately consistent, so it pays to time your session for when a suitable swell is running.

Wind and Tide

Look for north offshore wind, which tends to blow early and late in the day through the winter months, making those the prime windows to paddle out. The point can work through most of the tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

Punta Negra suits intermediate surfers, and you can expect a moderately busy lineup when it's on.
