The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are basically a write-off for any real surfing – tiny, weak swell with barely any energy. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are flat with a measly 0.3ft of northerly swell and a combined energy of just 2. It’s a tough way to kick things off. You’d be better off just waxing your board and staring at the horizon.

Things start to show a tiny pulse of life on Saturday the 5th. We get a jump to 3ft from the ENE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so the energy is still weak at 53. The wind goes glassy in the morning, which is a beautiful thing for the surface, but the waves themselves are pretty ordinary. It’s surfable, but don’t expect any fireworks.

The real story begins to unfold as we head into the second week. Monday the 7th sees the swell building to 4ft from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 136, which is now in the moderate range. It’s still ordinary conditions, but the potential is building.

Now, keep your eyes on Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th. Tuesday morning brings 5ft of ENE swell with a combined energy of 245 and a moderate offshore wind. That’s the first time we see “expect good surf conditions” in the notes. This is looking like the first real standout of the forecast. The offshore wind is going to be your friend, keeping the faces clean. The swell is pushing 5ft, which is still manageable for most intermediates, but it’s starting to get a bit punchy for beginners.

The pulse holds through Wednesday morning with a similar 5ft and 223 energy, again with clean offshore winds. This is a solid window for a session. The swell direction is ENE, which is close to the optimum north direction for this spot, so it should wrap in reasonably well.

The energy dips a bit on Thursday the 10th, but it picks right back up into the weekend. Friday the 11th afternoon has a nice 5ft pulse with 217 energy and offshore wind. Then Saturday the 12th is looking like the best of the bunch. Morning surf is 5ft from the ENE with a combined energy of 266, a period of 7 seconds, and very light wind. That’s the most energy we see in the whole forecast, and the clean conditions will make it a joy to paddle around. This is the standout session – mark it on your calendar.

After that, the swell settles back into the 4ft to 4ft range for the rest of the second week. The wind stays mostly offshore or light, so the quality holds up for manageable, fun-sized waves. The period stays short at 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s a bit of a windswell feel, but it’s consistent and clean.

Water temp is sitting at 83° with a tiny anomaly of 0.7°, so it’s about as average as you can get for this time of year. No surprises there.

The waves are fairly consistent through the second week, so the lull at the start was just a short-lived hiccup. The crowd profile says “sometimes,” so you might have a few mates out, but it’s nothing to stress about.

Keep your focus on Tuesday the 8th and especially Saturday the 12th. That’s where the magic is.

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.

Los Pocitos is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Maiquetia. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Maiquetia. Maiquetia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
