The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards at Los Pocitos, starting this Tuesday, July 14. The overall pattern is clean, consistent, and offshore all week, with a slow fade into the second week. Water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises in the water temp.
The action kicks off Tuesday morning. It’s small but clean – 4ft from the ENE with a short 7-second period, light offshore breeze, and the combined energy is weak at 123. It’s surfable, but you’ll be hunting for the better ones. Tuesday afternoon picks up a touch to 5ft, still offshore, still clean. By Wednesday morning, July 15, we’re into the sweet spot: 5ft, clean offshore breeze, and the wave energy climbs to 205 (moderate). That’s when it starts feeling good. Wednesday afternoon holds the same, and Thursday morning, July 16, sees the peak at 5ft, period still short at 7 seconds, but the offshore wind is firing and the energy is 222 (moderate). This is the standout window – clean, consistent waves with that gentle offshore wind shaping things up.
Friday, July 17, keeps the 5ft waves rolling, morning and afternoon, both clean and offshore. Saturday morning, July 18, gets a bit messy with a cross-offshore wind, but Saturday afternoon swings back to offshore with 5ft and good energy. Sunday, July 19, morning is the real highlight: 5ft, period bumps to 8 seconds, energy hits 287 (moderate), and it’s offshore. That’s the best session of the whole run – slightly longer period, clean, and punchy.
From Monday, July 20, the swell starts to ease back. Mornings run 5ft, afternoons drop to 4-5ft, still offshore but the energy dips. By Wednesday, July 22, we’re sitting on 5ft and 5ft, still clean. Thursday, July 23, drops to 4ft in the morning, 4ft in the afternoon, with some 6-second period showing – getting weaker. Friday, July 24, bumps back up to 5ft both sessions, still offshore, but the energy is back to moderate. Saturday, July 25, has a cross-offshore morning, and by Sunday, July 26, we’re at 4ft with light offshore winds. The energy is dropping into the hundreds (weak).
The final few days, from Monday, July 27, to Wednesday, July 29, are small – 4ft to 4ft, with a very nice glassy morning on Wednesday, July 29, where the wind goes dead calm. The energy is weak, but it’s clean and could be a fun little session if you’re keen.
Standout pick: Sunday morning, July 19, with 5ft, 8-second period, offshore wind, and the highest energy of the run. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Thursday morning, July 16, and Wednesday morning, July 15, are also top-notch. No crowds to worry about here – it’s a “sometimes” crowd spot, so you’ll likely have plenty of room. The break is fairly consistent, so it’s a solid run.
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.
