The Lowdown

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

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of small but clean, ridable waves. The water is sitting at a warm 81°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – no surprises there. The first proper session to point the board at kicks off Friday morning, July 17th, with a clean 4ft wave from the ENE. The wind is light offshore, so the faces will be smooth. It’s not big, but it’s surfable.

The real standout of the whole window looks to be Sunday, July 19th. We’re seeing the swell bump up to 6ft from the ENE, with a moderate offshore breeze holding it together. The water’s energy jumps to a solid moderate level (310), and the conditions are looking good. That’s your best bet for the week – a bit more push, still clean, and at this size it’s a fun one for intermediates and up.

Monday the 20th holds in around 5ft to 6ft with similar offshore wind, so the fun doesn’t stop there. The rest of the week into the following weekend sees the swell dropping back to the 3ft to 5ft range, with the wind staying offshore or light. It’s consistent, but very ordinary. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes” here, so you might have company, but it won’t be a circus.

As we push into the last week of July and the first of August, the pattern stays small and clean, but nothing really jumps out. The energy stays low to moderate (mostly two-digit values), and the period is short (6 to 8 seconds), so the waves will be a bit weak and crumbly. It’s still surfable, but don’t expect any fireworks. The 31st of July has a bit of a bump in size (5ft) and a longer period (8 seconds) with clean conditions, but the wind is a touch cross-off, so it’s a sniff more tricky.

Overall, grab Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th – those are the pick of the litter. Everything else is small, clean, and mellow.

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.
