The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's coming up for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks.

Overall, the pattern is a bit tame. We've got a persistent pulse of small, short-period easterly swell running, but it's not producing any fireworks. The conditions are generally clean, with offshore winds holding for most of the run, so the surf will be rideable – just nothing to write home about. This stretch looks to be for those who just need a log or a foamy and want to get wet, rather than anyone chasing power.

For Monday the 24th of August, we're starting off pretty flat. There’s a tiny 2ft swell from the NE with a weak period of 6 seconds, and the water temp is sitting at a normal 82°. It's clean, but really poor quality. The first proper recommendation doesn't arrive until Tuesday the 25th. Tuesday morning sees a slight bump to 4ft from the ENE, but still short period at 7 seconds with moderate wave energy (116). The conditions are clean, light offshore, but very ordinary. This feeling hangs around for the rest of the week and into the next.

We do have a couple of standout sessions, though. The best bet on offer is shaping up to be Sunday the 30th of August. The afternoon looks promising with the swell pushing to 5ft from the ENE, period at 7 seconds, and the wave energy picking up to 222 – the strongest we'll see. The wind stays offshore, so expect good, clean, fun-sized surf. It’s still not big or powerful, but it’s the best window we have.

Then again, on Friday the 4th of September, the afternoon session also looks decent. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE with the combined energy hitting 219. Winds go light offshore, so it should have some clean, user-friendly lines. It’s worth a look.

Keep in mind, the crowds at Los Pocitos are listed as "sometimes" busy, so if you hit one of those better windows you might bump into a few others, but it won't be a zoo.

The closer we get to the end of the second week, specifically Tuesday the 8th of September afternoon, we see the swell tick up to 5ft from the ENE with a strong energy reading of 235. The wind is still offshore, making it good, but the period stays short at 7 seconds. It's a bit of a teaser – that size could be fun, just don't expect much push.

Don’t hold your breath for any groundswell action; the periods sit mostly between 6 and 7 seconds all the way through. Monday the 31st of August and early September see some longer period pulses (11-13 seconds), but those coincide with much smaller swell heights, so they won't deliver the goods.

If you’re an expert, don’t get your hopes up – none of these swells get above 5ft until that Tuesday the 8th, and even at 5ft, it’s short period, so it's not the kind of power you're after.

To be honest, if you’re looking to really get a wave, focus on Sunday the 30th of August afternoon, or Friday the 4th of September afternoon. The rest is small, clean, and consistent but ordinary.

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.

Los Pocitos is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Maiquetia. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Maiquetia. Maiquetia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
