Alright, listen up. We’ve got a proper run of surf coming through, so don’t miss it.
The first real swell hits on Thursday afternoon, July 9th, at Los Pocitos. We’re looking at a consistent 5ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the east at 9 mph, which is going to keep the surface glassy. The combined wave energy is moderate at 282. The water is sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s a good session, but expect crowds sometimes.
From Friday morning, July 10th, through to Sunday afternoon, July 12th, the swell holds steady between 5ft and 6ft, still from the ENE. The wind stays offshore, mostly moderate at 12 mph, so the surface will be clean. Friday morning is the real standout, with the biggest energy of the whole run at 430. That’s the best on offer. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and won’t have that long, drawn-out feel, but it’ll be punchy and fun. After Friday, the energy drops a bit but stays solid.
Monday morning, July 13th, the swell drops to 4ft and the energy falls to 147. The comments say “surfable but very ordinary” – that’s a lull. The wind is still offshore, but the wave quality is just not there.
We get a second pulse from Tuesday morning, July 14th, through to Thursday morning, July 16th. Swell sizes 5ft to 6ft, mostly ENE, with offshore winds. The energy is back into the moderate range, hitting 334 on Wednesday afternoon. This is another good stretch, but it’s not as strong as that first Friday. The period stays short, around 7 seconds.
Then we hit a gap. From Saturday morning, July 18th, the wind goes side-offshore and the conditions turn poor. The swell is small, around 4ft, and the energy is weak. This poor trend continues through to Wednesday, July 22nd, with the surf described as “ordinary” or “poor”. The wind is mostly offshore again from Sunday afternoon, but the wave quality is just not there.
The last few days, from Thursday morning, July 23rd, to Friday afternoon, July 24th, the swell drops right off to 3ft to 4ft, with very weak energy (54 to 150). The wind is offshore and clean, but the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about.
So, the standout is Friday morning, July 10th. That’s the biggest energy, the cleanest offshore wind, and a solid 6ft swell. The best conditions overall are that Friday morning.

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.
