The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim run. There’s just not a single good surf option in this whole 16-day window. The forecast keeps throwing up swell, but it’s all onshore wind and poor conditions, day after day. We’re looking at a solid stretch of nothing from the start all the way through to the end of the window. The only spot on the list is Las Piscinas, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the north. It’s intermediate-level, and it’s a place that can dish out waves, but the wind is just killing it.
The water temperature sits at about 74°, which is right around average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
From Friday, 7 August, through to Saturday, 22 August, every single session is marked as “poor surf conditions.” The wind is relentless from the NNE and N, blowing 9 to 16 mph, mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The swell is hanging around 4 ft to 6 ft from the north-northeast, with short periods of 6 to 8 seconds – that’s just windswell, no real grunt. The combined energy of all swells (291 to 501) is moderate to strong, but without clean wind, it’s all chop and mess. On the 15th of August, the swell hits 6 ft with a 7-second period and energy at 501, but it’s accompanied by a 16 mph onshore wind, making it junk for surfing. That setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The best chance you’d have is the morning of Sunday, 16 August, when the wind drops to 9 mph and the swell is a bit smaller at 4 ft with an 8-second period, but it’s still onshore and the conditions are still poor. There’s just nothing to get excited about here. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the wind sets in from the north.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the forecasts, and maybe take the week off. Rusty.

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.
