Table - best surf conditions forecast for Las Piscinas over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me break this down for the crew. We’re looking at a pretty bleak forecast for Las Piscinas. For a long stretch coming up, there’s just nothing doing. It’s not until we get to Saturday the 18th that the ocean wakes up, but the wind is a total party pooper.
Right now, from Wednesday the 8th and through the whole next week, it’s all onshore wind out of the north and north-northeast. The swell is weak and junky, with tiny, short-period waves. Heights are mostly between 1ft and 4ft, with periods from 4 to 6 seconds. The wave energy is low, in the double digits (29–158). It’s just bumpy, choppy, and not worth paddling out. With the wind so consistently onshore and the quality so poor, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.
As we move into the tail end of the first week and the start of the second, the swell finally shows some life. Around Friday the 17th, we get 5ft, and by Saturday the 18th, it’s pushing 6ft in the morning and 7ft in the afternoon (491 combined energy). But here’s the kicker – it’s still windswell with a short 7-second period, and that same north wind is blowing right onshore. The wave comment the whole time is “poor surf conditions.”
Now, the one date that gets your attention is Thursday the 23rd. The swell is forecast at 10ft from the north-northeast, with a 9-second period. The combined wave energy is a massive 1223, which is very strong. The wind is still onshore, but the report says wind and tide are favorable… BUT, and this is a huge but, it warns the swell is predicted to be too big for this reef break. At 10ft, that’s expert chargers only. It’s going to be heavy, powerful, and dangerous. For anyone else, stay on the beach.
So, to sum it up: there’s a long gap of no good surf from now through about the 17th. Then we get size, but with bad wind. The only blip on the radar is the 23rd, but it’s a big, intimidating wave for experts only. The forecast can change, but right now it’s a tough run.
