Los Pocitos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at this stretch we’ve got coming up for Los Pocitos.

First thing you gotta know: the next few days are a bit of a slow burn. We’re not walking into a classic, but by the end of the week, we’ll be in some pretty fun little waves. The water temp is sitting right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

It kicks off Sunday the 6th with a sad little nothing. Don’t bother paddling out. Monday the 7th, we get some tiny 4ft to 4ft ENE swell creeping in, but it’s a short period 7-second wave, and the energy is only moderate (132 to 134). The wind is offshore though, so it’ll be clean even if it’s ordinary. That Tuesday the 8th is the first real standout. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, still short period, but the energy jumps to a solid moderate (286) and we’ve got a clean, steady offshore breeze. That’s your best bet early on for a fun, clean session with some push.

Wednesday the 9th drops back a touch, and the wind goes cross-offshore in the morning, so it’s a bit messy. Thursday the 10th is back to clean with light offshore winds and 5ft NE swell, but the energy is still moderate (211). By Friday the 11th, we see the biggest swell of the run so far at 6ft from the ENE, with a slightly longer 8-second period, and the energy is the strongest we’ll see at 353. That’s a solid, clean, moderate-sized day for the intermediate crew. A bit too punchy for beginners, but real fun for the rest of us.

The following weekend, Saturday the 12th, holds 6ft ENE swell with good offshore wind and energy in the 300s, so it’s still a very good option. The beginning of the second week, from Sunday the 13th through Wednesday the 16th, the swell fades quickly. Sunday the 13th is 5ft dropping to 4ft, and by Monday the 14th it’s down to 3ft and tiny. That Monday afternoon actually goes glassy and flat with a 0.3ft, 10-second swell. Not much doing.

The pattern picks back up Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, with 4ft to 5ft ENE swell, short period, and clean. The energy on Friday morning (235) is the best of that late week push. Saturday the 19th through Monday the 21st stay in the 4ft to 5ft range, all clean offshore winds, but nothing huge. The standout for the whole run is still Tuesday the 8th and Friday the 11th—those are the days to circle.

So, overall, we’ve got a solid week ahead with a few standout windows, then a drop, then a small resurgence. The best wave will be at Los Pocitos, with that consistent ENE swell and clean offshore winds. Crowds are possible here, so keep your eyes open.

Rusty out.
