Los Pocitos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let's have a look at what's on offer down at Los Pocitos for the next couple of weeks.

We've got a pretty consistent run of small, clean surf coming up. Nothing massive, but plenty of fun, rideable waves with the wind behaving itself nearly the whole time. The water’s sitting about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

First up, Tuesday morning (July 7th) we're seeing a little 4ft NE swell with a short period of 7 seconds, but the wind is glassy offshore from the east at 9 mph. It’s clean but the energy is weak (121). It’s surfable, but you won't be hooting and hollering. This theme carries through Wednesday morning – same low energy story.

Things pick up Wednesday afternoon (July 8th) when the swell bumps to 5ft from the ENE, still a short 7-second period, but the offshore wind holds and the combined energy climbs to moderate (237). That’s where it starts getting interesting. Thursday (July 9th) looks nice too – 5ft NE swell, a touch more period at 8 seconds, light offshore breezes, and clean conditions with moderate energy (268).

But the real standout, the pick of the whole run, is Friday morning (July 10th). You've got a solid 6ft swell from the ENE, period a bit short at 8 seconds, but the wind is a strong, clean offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph. The combined energy hits a strong 400. That’s the best combination of size and cleanliness on offer. It’s still manageable for intermediates, but that's the session to pencil in. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Saturday (July 11th) and Sunday (July 12th) keep the good times rolling with 6ft ENE swells, clean offshore winds, and moderate to strong energy readings (327 and 336 respectively). Consistent, fun waves.

From Monday (July 13th) through to Wednesday (July 15th), the swell drops back a bit to 4ft-5ft, but the offshore wind never really quits, so it stays clean if a little weak.

Thursday (July 16th) is another nice morning – 5ft ENE swell, offshore breeze, moderate energy (256). After that, from Friday (July 17th) into the next week, it's more of the same: waist to chest-high waves with consistent offshore winds. The energy dips again but it’s always rideable.

Around Monday (July 20th) and Tuesday (July 21st) the swell really fades, dropping to 3ft on Tuesday with very weak energy (71-90). Still clean, but you’ll be hunting for the little ones.

The final call on Wednesday (July 22nd) shows a small bump back to 4ft with a moderate offshore breeze. Not a classic, but still a goer.

Overall, a solid two weeks of clean, small-to-medium surf. Nothing for the big-wave chargers, but if you like a longboard or a fish, you’re set. The Friday the 10th is the one to aim for.
