The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks for Las Piscinas.

To be straight with you, this forecast is a tough one. For a reef that's normally exposed and consistent, we're looking at a long stretch of "poor surf conditions" day after day. The first shot of anything rideable doesn't show up until Monday, the 24th of August, and even that is a marginal call. Before that, from now through to Sunday the 23rd, it's a write-off – small, choppy, onshore slop with cross-offshore winds messing up the surface. Not a wave worth paddling for.

The standout – and I use that term loosely here – is the Monday the 24th session. It's the only time the score even gets to a "1". That morning we see a jump in energy. The combined swell energy hits a moderate 768, with a 5-foot groundswell from the NNW rolling in at a solid long period of 12 seconds. That period is a beauty for a reef like Las Piscinas, giving the waves some punch and shape. The wind is a light breeze from the N, blowing straight offshore, so the face should be clean and lined up. It'll be a proper session for the experienced surfer, not one for the beginners given the size. The water is feeling a touch warmer than normal at 76°, which is nice on the skin. This window on the Monday morning is your only real chance in the whole 16-day window, so if you want a wave, that's your sunrise alarm call.

After that, it fades back into mediocrity. There are pulses of size – like the 6-foot and 6-foot cross-onhore slop at the end of August and into early September – but the wind just never plays ball. It's mostly a moderate or fresh breeze from the NNE or NE, either onshore or cross-onshore, leaving the waves lumpy and chopped. By the time we get to Saturday the 29th of August, the energy spikes to a massive 1258 (very strong) with a 5-foot NNW groundswell and a 13-second period, which sounds incredible, but with a fresh cross-onshore breeze, it's going to be a messy, blown-out beast. This would be more of a kite surfer's playground than a paddle surfer's dream. The pattern holds right through to the start of September with continued cross-onshore winds and inconsistent, short-period junk.

So, in short: there is one standout session on Monday the 24th of August morning. Nail it or spend the rest of the fortnight watching the waves get destroyed by the wind.

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.
