The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking for Los Pocitos.
The next couple of days are looking pretty flat and ordinary, to be honest. The water temp is sitting around 83°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves coming in, so don’t rush to wax up just yet. From Wednesday the 2nd through to the weekend, we’re looking at small, weak 3ft or smaller swell from the ENE with a short 6 second period, and combined energy is under 100 (84-94 range). It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. The wind is offshore though, which is a nice bonus, keeping things clean.
There’s a real gap here. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are basically flat – we’re talking 0.3ft and near zero energy (2-4). Saturday and Sunday the 5th and 6th pick up slightly to 3ft, still weak and short period, but the wind stays clean. Still, it’s not going to get your heart racing.
Now, here’s the standout – keep your eye on Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th. The swell bumps up to 5ft-5ft from the ENE, period stretches to 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps into the low 200s (204-221), which is a solid step up. The wind holds offshore from the E and ENE, light to moderate, so conditions should be good. This is the best bet in the whole outlook. Los Pocitos is a fairly consistent spot, exposed to the north, and the swell direction is lining up nicely with what it likes. Crowds can show up sometimes, so expect a few others with the same idea. For intermediates, this is prime – not too big, not too small.
After that, from Wednesday the 9th onward, it settles back into a run of so-so surf. Swell drops to 4ft-5ft, period stays short, and the energy slides back down to the 130-180 range. Winds stay mostly offshore and clean, so you’ll still get a few fun ones, but nothing that’ll blow your mind. It’s a long, drawn-out stretch of ordinary conditions, but with that offshore wind, you could still get a decent session if you’re keen.
So, bottom line: the real action is Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th. The rest is for a quiet paddle or waiting for the next pulse.

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.

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.
