Alright, this is Rusty, looking at the surf outlook for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks.

First off, we’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, so no big gaps to worry about right from the get-go. The water temp is sitting at a warm 80°F, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year. The swell is coming from the ENE, which is right in the sweet spot for this spot.

We kick off on Sunday, July 5th, with some gentle offshore breeze and a clean 3ft swell coming from the ENE (combined energy of 112). It's nothing to write home about, just surfable waves with very ordinary conditions. That theme sticks around through Monday, July 6th. Monday morning is clean with a 4ft swell, but the afternoon picks up a bit with a 5ft ENE swell (combined energy of 203) and the wind staying offshore. It’s still fairly small and short period (around 7 seconds), so the waves are going to be a little weak, but it’s clean.

Tuesday, July 7th, and Wednesday, July 8th, stay in that same groove – clean, offshore winds, but nothing special. The real change comes on Thursday, July 9th. Thursday morning we see the swell bump up to 6ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 356. That’s a noticeable step up in energy, and it’s looking good. But here’s the catch: by Thursday afternoon, the swell is predicted to hit 7ft from the ENE (combined energy of 573). That’s too much size for this break, so it’s going to be a washing machine. Expert surfers might have a look, but for everyone else, it’s a no-go.

We get a nice run from Friday, July 10th, through Sunday, July 12th. The swell sits around 5ft to 6ft, still from the ENE, period around 8 seconds, and the wind is a clean offshore breeze. The combined energy is in the moderate to strong range (277 to 402). This is the best stretch of the whole forecast. The waves will have some push to them, and it’ll be clean. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so check it early.

After that Sunday, the swell backs off a bit. From Monday, July 13th, through the following week, we’re back into the 3ft to 5ft range with short period swell (6-7 seconds). It’s still clean with offshore winds most of the time, but the energy is low (combined energy between 69 and 279). Surfable, but ordinary.

One last thing to keep an eye on: Monday, July 20th, about two weeks out. We see another pulse of 6ft ENE swell with a period of 8 seconds and strong combined energy (322-345). It’s a long way off, so don’t bank on it, but if it holds, that morning slot could be a gem.

Overall, your best bet for a proper surf is the window from Friday, July 10th, through Sunday, July 12th. Clean, offshore winds and a solid swell. After that, it’s a waiting game for the next pulse.

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.
