The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for the coming weeks is a bit of a bummer. The waves are there, but the wind just won't play nice, turning what could be a fun little reef break into a messy, onshore slog. It's gonna be a long wait for anything decent.

So, we're looking at Las Piscinas, a consistent reef break that's usually got some shape. The water temp is sitting at about 75°, which is around a degree and a half warmer than normal for this time of year – feels nice, but that's about the only comfort.

We kick off Saturday, August 8th, with a 5ft swell from the NNE, but the wind is howling straight onshore at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 252, but it's all for nothing with that wind. It's a write-off. This poor surf conditions tag sticks with us all through the following week. The swell hangs around 5ft to 6ft, and the energy even pushes up to a strong 505 on the afternoon of Friday, August 14th, but the wind is relentless from the N or NNE, mostly onshore and sometimes cross-onshore, creating choppy, bumpy lines. The period is short, between 6 and 7 seconds, so it's weak, crumbly, onshore slop. Not worth paddling out for.

Things don't improve much into the second week. From Monday, August 18th, the swell drops a little, between 4ft and 5ft, and the period stretches to 8 or 9 seconds – a touch more groundswell character. But the wind is still coming from the NNW, mostly onshore, and we get a few days of that cross-onshore chop again. The energy is moderate, varying from 142 to 335, but it's all just messy.

The only real standout is a slim chance on the morning of Sunday, August 23rd. We've got a 5ft swell from the NNE with a period of 9 seconds, pushing moderate energy of 335. The wind is a light 9 mph cross-onshore from the NNE. It's not perfect, but it's the cleanest window we'll see. The period is getting longer, which is good for this reef, but that cross-onshore breeze will still put a bit of a wrinkle on the face. It's the best of a bad bunch, but it's a long way off and not something to bank on.

In short, we've got a solid 16 days of frustrating conditions. The swell is there, but the wind is a constant enemy. If you absolutely have to get wet, that Sunday morning on the 23rd is your only real shot at something rideable. Otherwise, for the next two weeks, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep the board in the car and wait for the next forecast.

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.

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.
