Table - best surf conditions forecast for Las Piscinas over the next 16 days.
Yo, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about this stretch of coast. The honest truth is, the next 16 days are a real struggle for decent surf. The forecasts are pinned on one break, and it’s not looking good. We’ve got a long, dry gap from now until basically the end of the first week, with nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for. The first real chance of any kind of surfable wave doesn’t show up until July 26th, and even then it’s only marginal.
Las Piscinas (reef) is the only spot in the frame, and it’s a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the north. The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is about average for this time of year. The problem is the wind. For the first two weeks, it’s a relentless cross-onshore or onshore breeze from the NNE and NE, blowing at 6 to 16 mph. That’s turning everything into a choppy, wind-blown mess. The swell is mostly small, short-period windswell, with heights hovering around 2 ft to 6 ft and periods of 6 to 9 seconds—just weak, gutless energy. The combined energy readings are all under 300 (moderate), and most of the time it’s well under 200 (weak). The data keeps saying “poor surf conditions” for day after day, and that’s exactly what it looks like.
There’s a small window of hope around July 27th, when the swell bumps up to 7 ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 551 (strong). The wind flips to a light offshore from the NNE on the morning of the 27th, which would be clean. But here’s the kicker: that swell is still short-period, and at 7 ft, it’s getting into the size that’s only for experts at this reef. The data labels it “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so it’s not a slam dunk. It’s a long-range standout, but it’s far from certain. For the rest of the run, it’s either too small, too windy, or both.
Verdict: There’s nothing to get excited about until the very end of the run. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the morning of July 27th at Las Piscinas, but don’t hold your breath. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for all but the most patient.
Rusty.

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.
