The Lowdown

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the coming stretch is a tough one. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead with very little to get excited about. The first few days are a write-off, and the pattern doesn't really improve. There’s a gap of several days with no real surf on offer, and it’s going to be a grind.

We start off on Friday, August 28th, with absolutely nothing going on. The swell is weak and messy, with a cross-onshore wind all day. It’s junk. Saturday the 29th isn’t any better, still cross-on and choppy. Sunday the 30th, same story. We’re looking at a solid block of poor conditions right through the first week of September. The swell direction is mostly from the NNE, but the wind is just never right. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special there.

The only glimmer in this whole 16-day window comes on Saturday, September 5th. The morning at Las Piscinas shows a slight improvement. We’ve got clean skies, a light breeze from the NNW, and the swell is a modest 4 ft from the N with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 253, but the wave comment says it’s marginal, with questionable tide conditions. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’ll be a damn sight better than the rest of the week. It’s a reef break, consistent, and it’s intermediate-level. Just keep in mind that crowds are often a problem here, so don’t expect a quiet session.

After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Sunday the 6th sees the swell drop to 2 ft and the period goes long, but it’s mostly onshore wind again. The energy is weak. The rest of the second week is a slow fade to nothing. By Thursday the 10th, the swell is just 2 ft and the energy is down to 71. It’s flat. If you’re a kite surfer, the cross-on breezes and moderate swell might look interesting, but for paddle surfing, this is a long, blank run. It’s a normal pattern for the area – when it’s quiet, it stays quiet.

Hold tight, check back, maybe the forecasts will change.

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.
