The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at this 16-day window for Los Pocitos. There’s a bit of a flat spell kicking things off, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet.
The overall pattern is a long stretch of small, short-period windswell with persistent offshore winds, but the wave heights stay modest and the energy is weak for most of the two weeks. The water temperature is sitting at 81° with a tiny anomaly of 0.3°, so it’s bang on average for this time of year – no surprises there.
We’ve got a gap from Monday July 20 right through to Wednesday July 30 before anything really stands out. That’s about a week and a half of okay but ordinary surf. The setup is a beach-and-reef combo, and with the swell being so small and short in period (mostly 6 to 7 seconds) combined with a fairly consistent breeze, it’s more of a fun little paddle than a proper session. The combined energy sits well under 200 for almost all of that time, often in the weak range, so don’t expect any grunt.
The standout moment arrives on Thursday July 30 morning. The swell tops out at 5ft from the ENE, period still short at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps to 209 (moderate) and the wind is a clean moderate offshore from the ENE at 12 mph. This is the best on offer – clean, punchy little waves that’ll be fun for intermediate surfers. The optimum swell direction is N, and we’re getting ENE, so it’s not a perfect match, but the offshore breeze will make it rideable. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.
After that, things settle back to very ordinary 3ft to 5ft ENE swell, always offshores, but the energy dips again. There’s another slight bump on Tuesday August 4 morning with 5ft from the ENE, period 8 seconds, and energy hitting 213 (moderate). That’s also a clean, gentle offshore, and it’s the second-best window. It’s a bit further out, so less certain, but worth noting.
For the rest of the time, the swell is small, the period is short, and the crowd factor is a possibility. If you’re keen on a kite session, the consistent offshore winds and small waves might be more interesting than a paddle.
Signing off, 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.
