The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, switching over to the imperial numbers for you. We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead for Los Pocitos, but it’s one of those stretches where you gotta be patient. The whole 16-day window is active, with no gaps, so there’s always something to look at, but the real quality takes a little while to build.

The pattern starts off pretty ordinary. Saturday morning, August 1st, we’ve got glassy conditions with some clouds, but the swell is weak and short-period at 4ft from the NE. The combined energy is only 126 (weak), so it’s not doing much. It’s surfable, but barely. Through the weekend and into early next week, the wind stays offshore from the E or ENE, which is a major positive, keeping the surface clean. The swell slowly ticks up, hitting 5ft by Tuesday morning, August 4th, with the energy climbing to 209 (moderate). The water is a warm 82°, about average for this time of year, so you’re in boardies or a light spring suit.

The first real standout arrives on Thursday, August 6th. The morning brings clear skies, a moderate offshore breeze at 12 mph, and the swell hits 5ft from the ENE. The energy jumps to 217 (moderate). It’s not huge, but the consistency is there and the conditions are clean. That trend carries into Friday, August 7th, where the swell pushes 6ft from the ENE with energy hitting 310 (moderate) – that’s the best of the first week. The wind is still offshore, so expect clean, fun waves. Keep in mind the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpy and won’t hold up as well, but for a beach break, it’s a good time.

After a small dip on Sunday, August 9th, the swell rebuilds. The next big moment comes on Thursday, August 13th, with another 6ft pulse from the ENE, energy at 310 (moderate), and gentle offshore wind. The water is still warm, and the morning is clear. That’s a solid day, but the absolute best of the whole forecast is Sunday, August 16th. The morning shows 6ft from the ENE, but the period extends to 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to 336 (moderate). The afternoon is even better: 6ft from the ENE, energy at 344 (moderate), with a moderate offshore breeze. This is the pick of the window. The swell is a bit bigger, the period is better, and the wind is clean. For a fairly consistent spot like Los Pocitos that sometimes gets crowded, this is the day to get out there early. The ENE swell is right on the optimum direction, so it’ll be lining up well.

For the beginners, keep an eye on it – when the swell pushes over 5ft, it gets a bit more challenging, and by Sunday the 16th it’s pushing 6ft, so that’s more for the intermediate crew. The short period means the waves won’t have that long, drawn-out power, but for a beach break, the offshore wind will make it peel nicely.

All in all, the run is consistent, the wind is good, and the water is warm. The best days are Thursday August 6th through Friday August 7th, and then the big finish on Sunday August 16th. That last day is the one to circle.

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.
