The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Las Piscinas over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get the heart pumping.
Overall, the pattern is full of northerly wind, which is straight onshore for this reef setup, and that's a real buzzkill. The first few days are a write-off, no use paddling out in that.
We’re gonna see a gap of constant poor conditions until Monday, the 14th of September. That’s our first real glimmer of hope. The morning is looking magic—glassy with a clean 4ft swell from the NNE, and the energy is moderate (287). But the real standout is Monday afternoon. The wind is dead calm, glassy, and we get a solid 2ft groundswell from the NNW with a long 12-second period. That’s a 266 combined energy reading for a reef break like this; it’s going to be clean, lined up, and perfect for an intermediate. Just a heads up, the water temp is sitting around 75°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Tuesday the 15th drops off again with cross-onshore winds, so we’re back to waiting.
Keep your eye on Saturday the 19th of September. That afternoon session is another cracker. The wind goes glassy again, and we’ve got a 4ft swell from the north with a 9-second period (278 energy). This is a real standout for the period—clean conditions, and that north direction is right in the sweet spot for the break.
After that, things get ordinary again with onshore winds and choppy conditions through to the end of the forecast. The final few days from the 22nd onwards see some longer period groundswells, but that cross-onshore wind just kills it. Not worth the paddle.
So, in short: the standouts are Monday 14th afternoon and Saturday 19th afternoon. Get in the water then, and you’ll be smiling.

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.
