The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Los Pocitos. Here’s how the next couple of weeks are shaping up.

Alright mate, let’s be real: the next week and a bit at Los Pocitos is pretty quiet. The swell's not really doing much, what we’ve got coming in is mostly short-period windswell from the ENE, around 2.5 ft to 4.2 ft, and with periods barely hitting 7 seconds, it's not going to have any punch. It’s surfable, but very ordinary, which is about all you can say. The water temp is looking pretty average for the time of year, so nothing weird going on there. The real story here is the wind – we’ve got a lovely run of offshore breezes from Sunday morning right through to the end of the month, mostly light to gentle, so the surface will be clean. It’s just that the waves themselves are grovelly. That said, the first standout actually shows up on Tuesday the 25th. Tuesday afternoon, the swell starts to change. We see the period jump to 12 seconds, which is a nice groundswell, coming from the ENE at about 2.3 ft. The combined energy picks up to 200, which is solid for such a small wave. The wind is offshore and gentle, so that late session will be clean and fun, if a little small.

The second, and better, standout lands on Thursday the 27th in the morning. The swell bumps up to 5.2 ft from the ENE, still at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps right up to 249, so there’s some proper push behind it. The wind is a clean gentle offshore from the E, so it will be glassy. This is the best session on offer for a clean, user-friendly wave. It’s not too big for a decent intermediate, and the crowds are only ‘sometimes’ an issue, so you should get a few sets to yourself. Because that swell direction from ENE is pretty close to the optimum N, the break should line up nicely.

The final call is on the 30th of August, Sunday morning. We get another bump, with the swell hitting 5.2 ft again from the ENE, and the combined energy goes through the roof to 402, which is very strong. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it will be peaky and a bit dumpy, but there’s a lot of water moving. Winds are offshore again, so it will be clean. This one is worth getting out of bed for, but it’s a week away so keep an eye on it.

So, to sum it up: lots of small, clean days for a log or a fish, but the two mornings to circle are the 27th of August and the 30th of August. That’s your best chance at something with a bit of shape.

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.
