The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Truth is, mate, it's a bit of a tough stretch. The surf is there, but it's almost always blown out or just plain messy. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, there's no true standout, no session that's screaming "get in the water right now." The best of a bad bunch is probably Sunday morning, the 23rd of August, at Las Piscinas. That morning, we've got a moderate 269 units of combined swell energy, with a 3ft swell from the north. The period is a decent 10 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, and the wind is a light cross-onshore breeze. It's not perfect, but it's the most promising window we've got. The water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 75°F.

The rest of the period is a bit of a grind. From Saturday the 22nd right through to the end of the forecast, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing anywhere from 9 mph to 16 mph, and it's labelling the conditions as "poor surf conditions" or "marginal" at best. The swell stays between 3ft and 8ft, with periods mostly under 10 seconds, which means weak, short-period wind swell with no real punch. The combined energy figures are all over the shop, from a weak 64 up to a strong 901 on the Monday morning of the 24th, but again, the wind just ruins it. That 7ft to 8ft swell we see from the 28th to the 30th of August might look big, but with the 16 mph onshore winds, it's going to be a washing machine out there. For a reef break that's consistent and exposed, it's a shame.

If you're determined, the Sunday morning of the 23rd is your best bet. That 3ft, 10-second north swell at Las Piscinas with the light cross-onshore is the only time the conditions even approach being surfable. After that, it's a long wait. There are no other recommendations. Just a whole lot of wind and chop.

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.
