The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the Las Piscinas area.

First thing to know: the water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, but you’ll notice it’s a little more comfortable than usual.

Right now, we’re looking at a long stretch of pretty flat and messy conditions. The next few days – from Wednesday afternoon through to Sunday afternoon – are all marked by poor surf conditions. Swell is small, mostly under 5 ft, coming from the north-northeast with short, weak periods around 6-8 seconds. The combined energy stays well under 300 (low energy), and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, putting a bump on the surface. Not a lot to get excited about here.

Monday, the 24th of August, shows a little more promise. The swell is starting to push up to 5 ft from the north-northwest, with a longer period of 12 seconds – that’s more groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps to 834 (moderate energy), so there’s some juice in the water. But the catch is that the wind is cross-onshore for the afternoon, so it’s going to be choppy. The morning window looks cleaner with the wind onshore but lighter. Still, this is only a marginal call – the tide or conditions might not line up perfectly.

After that, the wind really picks up from the 27th onward. Swell sizes climb into the 6 ft to 8 ft range, and the energy reaches strong levels (over 900 on the 28th). But the wind is consistently cross-onshore from the north-northeast, often 12-19 mph, making the surface messy and lumpy. For a reef break like Las Piscinas, you want that offshore wind (from the south), and we just don’t get it. The period stays short (7-8 seconds), so the waves will be disorganized and hard to ride.

The best window in the whole forecast – and it’s a bit of a stretch – is Monday the 31st of August into Tuesday the 1st of September. The swell holds around 8-8 ft from the north-northeast, with periods hitting 9 seconds and strong energy (up to 1073). The wind is lighter, around 9 mph, and even turns onshore/offshore at times, which could give cleaner conditions. But it’s still cross-onshore, so don’t expect perfection. The morning of the 1st looks the best with lighter winds and a more favorable wind direction.

Overall, this is a tough run for Las Piscinas. There’s no standout day that screams “go now.” The best bet is to keep an eye on the early morning windows around the 24th and the 31st/1st, but even then, the wind is working against us. If you’re a beginner, the swell gets too big (over 5 ft) after the 27th, and by the 28th it’s over 8 ft – that’s expert-only territory, and with the wind, it’s going to be a battle.

Honestly, if you’re looking for clean, lined-up waves, you might be better off waiting for a proper south wind to hit this place. Until then, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.

Information about the Las Piscinas Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Las Piscinas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Las Piscinas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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 Las Piscinas 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.
