The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what Las Piscinas is serving up over the next couple weeks.
First thing’s first—the first few days are a bust. Onshore winds have got the surface all chopped up and messy, so don’t bother paddling out. The water temp is around 76°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Your first real chance to get wet comes Monday, 14th September. Early morning we’ve got glassy conditions with a light offshore wind from the WNW, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the NNE. The combined energy is moderate at 287, but it's a short-period 8-second swell, so the waves are gonna be a bit weak. Still, it’ll be clean, and this reef will give you a few fun little rides.
The absolute standout window is Saturday, 20th September. Sunday morning is dead calm—zero wind, glassy as a lake. There’s a 4ft north swell with combined energy at 385 (moderate). The period is still short at 9 seconds, but with absolutely no wind and that solid north swell hitting the reef, this is going to be the cleanest and most fun session in the whole 16-day window. The afternoon holds up too with similar glassy conditions and a 4ft north swell.
After that, it gets pretty poor. From 21st September onward, we’ve got a long stretch of cross-onshore winds and small, weak swell. There’s a 5 to 6 day gap of basically unridable conditions right there. The very end of the outlook, on Monday morning, 28th September, has a tiny 3ft north swell with clean cross-offshore winds, but the combined energy is weak at 86. Only a longboard or a SUP will get anything out of that.
So your one true standout? That Sunday, 20th September: glassy, clean, with a solid north swell. Don’t miss it.
Signing off, 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.
