Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Yo, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’re working with for the next couple weeks.
Things are off to a pretty average start. The forecast kicks in on Saturday the 4th of July, and the first few days are just okay. Swell is running 3ft to 4ft from the ENE, but the energy is weak, bouncing around 81 to 163. Wind is blowing offshore, which is a big plus, keeping the surface clean, but the swell period is a short 6 to 7 seconds, so the waves are a bit weak and crumbly. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Water temp is a warm 80°F, and the anomaly is normal for this time of year, so that’s no worry.
The real change shows up on Thursday the 9th of July. The swell jumps to 6ft to 7ft, still from the ENE, and the period goes up to 8 seconds. The energy gets into a solid moderate range (347 to 439), and the offshore wind keeps holding. This is the window you want. The standout day is Friday the 10th of July, with waves hitting 7ft and clean conditions. At Los Pocitos, which is exposed to the north, that ENE swell will wrap in well. Just a heads up – when it gets over 5ft, it’s not for the beginners; it gets a bit heavy. And the crowds can show up sometimes, so keep an eye out.
That quality holds through Saturday the 11th and into Sunday the 12th, with swell around 5ft to 6ft and good energy. After that, it fades. From Monday the 13th onward, we’re back to 3ft to 5ft waves, low to moderate energy, and the short period returns. The wind stays offshore, so it’s still clean, but it’s just ordinary surf.
Your best bet is Thursday the 9th through Sunday the 12th, with Friday the 10th being the real gem – solid 7ft waves, offshore breeze, and the best energy of the whole 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.
