The Lowdown

Alright, let me level with you. I’ve been staring at this forecast for Las Piscinas, and it’s a rough one. Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, I have to say: there are no good surf options on offer. Not a single recommendation I can get excited about. The whole run is a write-off.

The pattern is pretty grim. We’ve got a consistent, moderate breeze from the north-northeast, sometimes just north, blowing onshore or cross-onshore almost every day. That’s the kiss of death for a setup like this. The swell is coming from the north-northeast, which is the opposite of what this break wants — it needs it from the north. So the direction is all wrong, and the wind is ruining what little shape there might be.

From Sunday the 19th right through to that last entry on Monday the 3rd of August, every single period is marked as “poor surf conditions.” That’s a long, blank stretch. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, no window where it all comes together. The swell does build, sure. By Sunday the 26th of July, we’re looking at 8ft swell from the NNE with a period of 8 to 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 887 and then 1101 (strong to very strong wave energy). But it’s all onshore, messy, and choppy. That kind of size with those winds is just a washing machine — not surfable.

For a reef break like Las Piscinas, you need clean conditions. You need that offshore wind from the south. Instead, we’ve got a moderate breeze, sometimes a fresh breeze, blowing straight onto the break. The water temp is about 73°F, which is 1°F warmer than normal, so it’s close to average for the time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.

The swell period stays in the 7 to 9 second range for most of the run, which is short-period, wind swell. It’s not going to wrap in or offer any real power. Even when the period stretches to 10 seconds on the 31st of July, the swell has dropped to 4ft and the wind is still onshore. It’s just a frustrating pattern.

If you were thinking of kiting, this onshore wind and decent-sized chop might actually be interesting, but for a paddle surfer? It’s a hard no. There’s nothing here. Sometimes in this area, you get these blank runs where the wind just won’t swing, and the swell direction is all wrong. This is one of those times. All we can do is hope the forecasts change, because right now, it’s a total dud.

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.

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.
