The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Las Piscinas.

Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a pretty grim run for paddle surfing. The swell is onshore, short period, and just messy for almost the entire time. There’s a real gap here with no real surf on offer right from the start. We’ve got a stretch from the end of August right through to the second week of September that’s just not worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the waves are all short period (6 to 8 seconds), which means lumpy, weak, and gutless. The water temp is sitting at 76 °F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re waiting for a wave that never comes.

The first real sign of life is a long way off, on the 13th of September, Sunday morning. We get a brief pulse of swell that’s a completely different animal. The swell jumps up to a 16-second period from the north, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (122), and it’s more of a background pulse. The wind is cross-on and light, but the waves are tiny at 1.0 ft. It’s more of a sign of things to come than a session.

Then, on the 15th of September, Tuesday morning, we finally get something that grabs your attention. The swell is 4 ft from the NNW, with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is strong, hitting 1038. This is a real, deep-water groundswell pushing in. The wind is onshore from the north, which is a real shame. For a reef break like Las Piscinas, this long period swell will wrap in nicely, but the onshore wind will mess up the face. It’s a tough one – the energy is there, but the conditions are not.

If I had to pick a standout, it’s that Tuesday the 15th of September. The swell size (4 ft to 5 ft) is solid for intermediates, and the 15-16 second period is the kind of energy that makes a point break or reef like this one really come alive. The wind is a disappointment, but it’s the only window in the whole 16 days that has any real grunt. The crowds are likely to be there at Las Piscinas, so you’ll have company. It’s the only one worth looking at, and even then, keep your expectations in check with that onshore breeze.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
