The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk it through in feet and degrees.
Gotta level with you – the outlook for Las Piscinas for the next 16 days is pretty bleak. From Thursday the 13th of August through to the morning of Tuesday the 25th, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, choppin’ up whatever tiny swell tries to roll in. The combined energy numbers sit in the moderate zone for a few days, but the wind just ruins the shape.
Your best shot, and I’m bein’ generous here, is the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August. Swell runs about 4ft out of the north with a 9-second period, and we get a light cross-onshore breeze. It’s flagged as marginal, not total junk. Combined energy at 202 – barely enough to push you along.
After that, the whole thing fades fast. By the end of the month we’re lookin’ at 2ft to 2ft swells from the NNW with periods around 10 seconds – that’s a nice long-period groundswell, but the size is tiny and the wind stays onshore. Energy readings drop into the weak zone; around 115 to 162. Not enough to justify a paddle.
No standout days. No solid combo of swell, wind, and clean conditions. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothin’ unusual.
Bottom line: save the wax. This run is a dud. The forecast can flip, but right now there’s no surf worth mentionin’. You might as well go snorkel.

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.
