The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. This 16‑day outlook for Las Piscinas is a real bummer – no good surf in sight. The water’s 73.6°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We start Friday the 17th of July with a weak, short‑period swell from the NE – 4.6 ft, 7‑second period, combined energy around 161–179 (moderate). Wind is cross‑onshore at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. Saturday and Sunday the 18th–19th are similar: swell builds to 5.6 ft, energy up to 262–301, but still cross‑onshore. No good.
Monday the 20th through Friday the 24th: swell 6.2–6.9 ft, period 7–8 seconds, onshore wind at 12–16 mph. Energy in the 400s and 500s. Short‑period onshore slop. Saturday the 25th: 7.2–7.5 ft, 8‑second period, energy 603–686, still onshore.
Sunday the 26th of July morning – a 9.8 ft swell from the NNE, 9‑second period, energy a massive 1376. Wind is onshore but light. The comment says wind and tide are favorable, but that size is too big for this reef – only for experts, and even then it’s dicey. The afternoon shows 9.8 ft again with 1615 energy but poor conditions.
Monday the 27th: 9.8 ft in the morning with cross‑onshore, then 8.2 ft in the afternoon onshore. Still messy. Tuesday the 28th afternoon: 6.6 ft, 8‑second period, cross‑onshore at 9

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.
