The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

Honestly, it’s a grim outlook for the next 16 days. The only spot in the game is Las Piscinas, a reef break that’s usually consistent, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. The water’s sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s small comfort.

The wind is coming from the NNE at 12–16 mph most days, and it’s mostly cross-onshore, which keeps the surf choppy and blown out. The swell is from the same NNE direction, with a short period of 6–8 seconds, so it’s weak and lacks any real power. The combined wave energy is low, hanging around 133 to 145 in the early days, and only occasionally tickling into moderate territory.

The first few days, from Tuesday the 11th through Thursday the 13th, are a total mess. Swell heights are 4 to 5 feet, but with that short period and the wind, it’s just junk. Friday the 14th sees a bump to 6 feet, but the wind picks up to 16 mph, and it’s still cross-onshore, so it’s the same story. The weekend of the 15th and 16th offers a bit more size—7 feet on Saturday morning—but again, the wind kills it. The surf quality is rated poor across the board.

There’s a tiny window on Tuesday the 18th, where the swell period stretches to 10 seconds and the wind drops to a light breeze. The comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell is 5 feet from the N, which is the optimum direction here, and the wind is offshore, so it’s the cleanest option. But it’s still a stretch.

From the 19th to the 26th, it’s more of the same: small, short-period swell, with onshore or cross-onshore winds. The later days, like the 21st and 22nd, show a bit more size—7 feet—and a 9–10 second period, but the wind is still 16 mph and onshore, so it’s messy.

Bottom line: there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is poor, the wind is wrong, and the energy is weak. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the shed.

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.
