The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking over the only real option we've got around here for the next couple of weeks.
Frankly, it's a tough run of luck for Las Piscinas. This reef breaks consistent, sure, but the whole 16-day outlook is a long stretch of "poor surf conditions" with zero scores across the board. The wind is just never your friend. We're looking at a solid 16 days of nothing really worth paddling out for.
The main issue is that wind. From Tuesday morning, August 4th, right through the rest of the month, it's hammering in from the N/NNE. That's a cross-onshore or straight onshore direction for this spot, and it's blowing at 9 to 16 mph most days. That's a light to moderate breeze, but it's enough to trash the surface. You get a mix of wind ripples, chop, and generally messy conditions. The swell is there, but it's all short-period windswell of 7-9 seconds, so it's weak and crumbly, not the kind of groundswell that wraps in cleanly.
Through the first week, the swell hovers around 4 ft to 6 ft, with combined wave energy ranging from 182 to 433 (moderate), but it's all onshore junk. From Saturday, August 8th, the swell picks up a bit, hitting 8 ft by Saturday morning (energy at 744 - moderate to strong), but with a 12 mph onshore wind, it's just a choppy, blown-out mess, really only for the hardcore or those looking for a fight. The swell stays up around 7 ft to 7 ft into the second week, but the wind doesn't let up.
There's a slight change around Monday, August 17th into Tuesday, the 18th, where the period stretches to 9-10 seconds, but the wind is still a cross-onshore 12 mph. The swell drops to 4 ft by the 19th, and the energy fades to 230 (weak). It's still a "poor surf conditions" call.
The water temperature and anomaly aren't provided in the data for Las Piscinas, so I can't comment on that.
Honestly, with this consistent onshore wind and the short-period, messy swell, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There's just no window of clean, surfable waves. For the paddle crew, it's a write-off. The forecasts can change, but right now, we're looking at a full 16-day blank.

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.
