The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the good news is there’s a solid run of surfable conditions building in the second half of the week and into the next. The main player here is Los Pocitos, and it’s calling for a consistent ENE wind swell that’s going to be a lifeline for a while.
The first real action worth paddling out for kicks off on Monday, September 7th. The morning sees the swell bumping up to 4.6 ft out of the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is sitting at 214 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push there. The wind is a clean offshore breeze from the east at 12 mph, which is going to keep the faces tidy. It’s not giant, but it’s clean and surfable. The crowd situation at Los Pocitos can be a bit of a lottery with it being "sometimes" busy, so you might have to share a few.
The standout moment, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Thursday, September 10th. The morning session is looking the pick of the whole forecast. Swell jumps to 5.6 ft from the ENE – that’s a solid size, not for the beginners, but right in the sweet spot for an intermediate who knows what they’re doing. The period is 7 seconds, and the combined energy reading is a healthy 286 (moderate). The wind is a gentle offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, which will keep the surface clean. This is the best bet on offer.
We also get a mention for Monday, September 14th morning, with another 5.6 ft ENE swell and 279 energy (moderate) with offshore winds, but it’s a bit further out so treat it as a promising long-range option right now.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Overall, if you’ve got a window, the 10th of September is the one to aim for. The rest of the time, it’s mostly small but clean, especially in the mornings. The longer you wait into the second week, the less certain it gets, but the pattern looks solid.
Stay stoked.

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.
