The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Alright, lookin’ at this 16-day window for Las Piscinas, I gotta be honest with ya—it’s a tough one. This is a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the north, and the optimum swell direction is from the north, but the whole period is plagued by poor surf conditions. The swell direction is almost always from the north-northeast, which is a bit off the mark, and the wind… mate, it’s nearly always onshore or cross-onshore, with a moderate breeze hangin’ around for most of it. That breeze is just killin’ the surface. The water temp is sittin’ at 75°F with an anomaly of 2°F above normal, so a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Right from the start, Monday the 10th of August morning, we’ve got 5ft swell from the north-northeast at a short 6-second period, but the wind is onshore from the north-northeast at 16 mph, and it’s labelled poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy is 190 (weak to moderate), but with that onshore wind, it’s not worth paddlin’ out. That same story basically runs through Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday—swell heights between 4ft and 6ft, periods stuck at 6 to 7 seconds, and wind either on or cross-on from the north-northeast. The energy ticks up a bit on the 13th and 14th, hitting 243 and 331 respectively, but the wind is still muckin’ it up. By Saturday the 15th, swell is 6ft with a 7-second period and onshore wind, energy at 354, but again, poor conditions.
There is no standout here, no day you’d point to and say, “That’s the one.” The entire forecast is a run of poor surf conditions. We’re talkin’ a solid 16-day gap with no real recommendations. It’s a blank run, but for this area, that’s not unusual—forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope entirely, but don’t plan a trip around it either.
For now, I’d say leave the board at home. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that consistent moderate breeze and swell. Stay tuned, though.
Rusty.

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.
