The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk shop on Los Pocitos. Same story, different numbers.
We’ve got a solid run of fun-size waves kicking off, but don’t expect anything ground-breaking. The first week serves up a consistent 3 to 4 feet of short-period ENE swell, and while it’s not perfect, there’s something to ride most days.
The best call is still Monday the 14th. The morning goes glassy – wind drops to 3 mph from the east – and the swell sits around 4 feet. The combined energy hits a moderate 109, so it’s got a little push. That dawn patrol will be clean as a whistle, which makes those small waves feel way more fun. Water temp is normal for the season, nothing wild.
Saturday the 12th has the peak energy of the whole run at 192, with 5 feet of swell, but the wind is a moderate 12 mph from the ENE. It’s rideable, but choppier. If you don’t mind a bit of texture, it’s still your biggest day.
Tuesday the 15th afternoon is a dud – the swell drops to less than half a foot with a long-period signal but no power. Skip it.
From the 20th onward, wave heights drop below 3 feet. The mornings of the 20th and 21st are glassy with about 3 feet, but the energy is weak (71 and 74). That’s small-wave territory – good for a soft-top or a morning cruise.
After the 22nd, it gets grim. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th see the swell vanish, with combined energy down to 3-21. Saturday the 26th offers a tiny 2 feet with glassy conditions, but it’s weak and short-period. Sunday the 27th morning is flat.
So your window is clear: the first week is your friend, especially Monday the 14th at dawn. The second week is a fade to near-flat. That’s the read.

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.
