The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First up, things are looking pretty grim for Las Piscinas over the next 16 days. The swell is there, but it’s just not lining up with decent conditions. The first bit of surf we can talk about is on Sunday, August 23rd. That morning we’ve got a 3ft swell from the north with a 10-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the NNE at 6 mph, making it a bit messy. The combined wave energy is moderate at 267, but the report calls it marginal, and honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Sunday afternoon sees a bit more size, 4ft from the NNW with a 14-second period—that’s a nice long period groundswell, which could be good for a reef like this, but the wind is still onshore and the energy jumps to 660 (strong). Still, it’s flagged as marginal, so I’d be wary.
Monday, August 24th, the swell bumps up to 6ft from the NNW, but it’s a no-go. The wind is cross-on at 12 mph, choppy, and the energy is high at 887 (very strong), but it’s just poor surf conditions. Tuesday through to the end of the month we see a lot of the same story: swell between 3ft and 7ft, mostly from the north or NNE, but the wind is consistently cross-on or onshore, and the conditions are described as poor. The energy levels vary from weak (48) to very strong (864), but without clean wind, it’s not worth it.
There’s a stretch from around August 27th to September 7th where the swell picks up some size, even hitting 7ft on August 29th, but the wind is howling at 16 mph from the NNE, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. For a reef break like Las Piscinas, which is consistent and exposed, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
The only real standout window is a maybe on Sunday, August 30th: the wind goes onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, but the swell is 4ft from the north with an 11-second period and energy at 489 (moderate). It’s still flagged as poor, so I’m not getting excited.
The truth is, for the entire 16-day window, there’s not one session I’d recommend. The surf is there, but the wind and conditions are just not cooperating. That’s a bummer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
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. If you surf the same spot (Las Piscinas) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
