The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Las Piscinas over the next couple of weeks, and mate, I'll be straight with you – it's a bit of a dry spell.

Alright, looking at the big picture, the wind is going to be the main problem here. For the entire 16-day outlook, we are looking at a persistent run of onshore and cross-onshore breezes from the north-northeast. The swell that's coming in is mostly short-period windswell, in the 7 to 8 second range, and it's coming from the north or north-northeast. This is not the ideal direction for this spot, which needs a swell from the north to really fire. The net result is that every single time slot in the Finder report comes back with "poor surf conditions" and a score out of 10 that is a flat zero. There are no recommendations at all.

Let's walk through it. Starting Sunday the 16th of August, we've got a weak 3 ft swell from the north-northeast at a short 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at only 148. The wind is cross-on at 15 km/h, putting a choppy texture on things. That’s a no-go.

Monday the 17th through Thursday the 27th of August is just more of the same. The swell hovers between 3 ft and 5 ft, with the combined energy slowly building up from 207 up to about 437 on Monday the 24th. Even on that morning, when the swell hits 6 ft and the energy is up to a moderate 437, the wind is still a cross-onshore mess at 10 km/h to 25 km/h, keeping the quality in the gutter. The water temp is sitting at 75°F which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're getting frustrated.

This pattern of onshore wind and short-period northerly swell holds steady right through to the end of the month. We get a little energy peak around Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th, with swell heights reaching 6 ft and combined energy hitting 437 and 390, but again, the wind is moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy. Even on Saturday the 29th of August, when the swell is 6 ft with energy at 361 and 368, the wind is onshore at 25 km/h. It's enough swell to paddle out, but it's going to be a messy, blown-out battle.

So, what does a surfer do? This is a blank run that's looking like it could last the full 16 days. There is no standout session. For a reef break like Las Piscinas, which is consistent but needs that clean north swell with light winds to be good, this forecast is a write-off. On the plus side, the area is consistent. The setup might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the persistent cross-shore wind component. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you're better off doing something else with your time.

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. Our Las Piscinas surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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.
