The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here with the lowdown. Got a 16-day stretch ahead, but it’s a slow roll. The first few days are just small, choppy windswell from the ENE, with a moderate breeze keeping things from cleaning up. The highlight is a single day that stands out from the pack.
The one to circle is Sunday, July 19th. That’s the best shot. Swell pushes to about 6ft, with a 8-second period, and the wind drops to a gentle offshore breeze all day. The wave energy jumps to a solid moderate (327), and the conditions are genuinely good. It’s not massive, but it’s the cleanest, most pushy swell in the whole run.
The rest of the outlook is a lot of “surfable but ordinary” days. Most sessions are 4ft to 5ft, with a short, weak period of 6-7 seconds, so the energy is low to moderate (between 97 and 217). The wind is almost always offshore, which is a plus, but it’s often a moderate breeze, not the glassy stuff you want. The spot is Los Pocitos – it’s fairly consistent, and the optimum swell direction is from the north, but we’re stuck with a persistent ENE swell, so it’s not a perfect match. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect solitude.
If you miss the Sunday window, the following week is a slow grind. There’s a minor lift on Saturday, August 1st with 5ft swell and a modest energy bump (204), but the wind is cross-offshore, not truly offshore. It’s a long-range hint, so keep your expectations low.
Bottom line: one day is the standout. Get out on the 19th if you can. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Los Pocitos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Los Pocitos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Los Pocitos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Los Pocitos 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 (Los Pocitos) 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 Los Pocitos 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.
