Los Pocitos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s comin' down the line. We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, nothin' massive but plenty to keep you wet. The wind’s lookin' good, mostly offshore, which is the real story here.

Overall, we're looking at a consistent stretch of clean, rideable waves. The swell ticks up mid-period, then settles back to a more everyday vibe. If you're lookin' for the standout, you’ll want to point your board towards Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th.

Los Pocitos is where it's at. The week kicks off on Tuesday afternoon with some small but surfable waves at 4ft from the ENE, clean due to that gentle offshore breeze. It's a bit weak for the time of year, but the water's a warm 80°F, which is average for July.

Wednesday holds similar, but by Thursday morning the 9th, things start to get interesting. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy climbs to a moderate 257. That offshore breeze is still there, keeping it clean. It’s not huge, but the conditions will be good. Thursday afternoon drops a touch to 5ft from the NE, still clean and fun.

Friday the 10th is the real highlight. We’re lookin' at 6ft from the ENE, period still at 8 seconds, and the energy is a solid 372. That’s moderate energy, but it’s the biggest swell of the window with a moderate offshore breeze. It’s a good size for intermediates, and the offshore wind will hold it up. You can expect crowds sometimes at Los Pocitos, so get in early.

Saturday the 11th hangs in there at 5ft, and into Sunday the 12th it eases back to 5ft. The wind stays offshore through it all, which is a dream. Monday the 13th drops a bit to 4ft, and the period shortens up to 6-7 seconds, making it more of a weak, everyday wave.

There's a little dip around Tuesday the 14th, with the energy dropping to 89 on the morning session, so it’ll be small and a bit gutless. But by Wednesday the 15th, a new pulse of swell brings it back up to 6ft from the ENE with a moderate offshore breeze and energy at 302. That’s a good session.

The rest of the run into the second week stays consistent: 4ft to 5ft from the ENE, with offshore winds every day. The period stays short at 7 seconds, so it won't have that heavy, long-period grunt, but the wind will make it clean. The energy stays in the weak-to-moderate range (under 200 for most of it), so don’t expect barrels, but expect fun, clean lines.

If you’re looking for the best, hit Friday the 10th. The swell is at its peak, the wind is perfect, and the wave energy is the strongest we’ll see. It's a good one.

Rusty.
