The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Las Piscinas.
To be straight with you, this is a pretty bleak stretch ahead. We’re looking at a real dry spell. From now, right through until the morning of Monday the 14th of September, the surf is just not on. The wind is blowing hard onshore from the north and it’s ruining everything – the swell is there, with energy climbing up to 461 (moderate wave energy) on the Saturday, but it’s messy and blown out. That’s a long wait with nothing worth paddling for.
Now, Monday the 14th of September is where we finally get a little window. The morning is the standout here. We’ve got a glassy surface – wind from the WSW at only 3 mph, which is basically nothing. That’s a major positive; the ocean will be clean. There’s some leftover swell at 4 ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a short-period windswell. The combined energy is 266 (moderate). It’s not going to be pumping, but for a reef break like Las Piscinas, clean and rideable is a win after this long gap. The water temp is 75°, which is about average for the time of year – no shock there.
That afternoon on the 14th, the swell drops right off to 2 ft with a longer period of 12 seconds, but the wind turns back onshore. It’s marginal at best, not really worth getting excited about. From Tuesday the 15th onwards, it’s pretty much back to the same story – small, weak swells, mostly poor conditions with onshore or cross-onshore winds, and energy readings dropping to as low as 72 (weak energy) on the 16th. We do see a spike in period on the 22nd with a 13-second pulse from the NNW, but it’s cross-onshore and the swell height is only 2 ft – just a tease.
Basically, there’s only one real window to get wet, and that’s the glassy Monday morning. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off for decent paddle surfing. If the wind keeps up like this, the setup might look more interesting for the kite crew than for us with a paddle.
Stay patient.
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.
