Los Pocitos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead for Los Pocitos, and while it’s not going to blow your mind with size, there’s a decent run of clean, surfable conditions to keep you busy.

The overall pattern is consistent, moderate northeasterly swell with light to moderate offshore winds holding through most of the period. The water’s sitting at 82°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year – no nasty surprises there.

The first real standout is Sunday the 2nd of August. We’re looking at a 5 ft swell from the east-northeast with a gentle offshore breeze. The combined wave energy is moderate (228), and the surf is expected to be good conditions. It’s a great day for an intermediate surfer to get amongst it, and the wind will keep it clean. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here, so get in early.

From Sunday the 2nd, we roll into a long stretch of consistent, clean waves. The swell holds around 4 ft to 5 ft, with offshore winds from the east and east-northeast. The energy stays moderate, with values mostly between 134 and 251. The waves are a bit short-period (7 seconds), so it’s more of a wind swell than a groundswell, but it’s still fun and punchy on the bank.

If you’re looking for a true highlight, circle Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August. On the 6th, we’ve got 5 ft swell from the east-northeast, moderate offshore breeze, and good conditions. The energy is solid (244). On the 7th, it’s the same 5 ft swell, with a clean offshore breeze pushing 12 mph, and energy at 251. These are the best days of the whole run – solid, clean, and consistent.

The following week settles down a bit. The swell dips to 4 ft to 5 ft, conditions are still surfable, but the energy drops into the lower to moderate range (113 to 224). There’s a brief uptick on Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of August, with 5 ft to 5 ft swell and a bit more kick, especially on the 12th afternoon when the period stretches to 8 seconds and the energy hits 230. That’s a nice little pulse for the second week.

The tail end of the window, from the 13th to the 15th, is more of the same – clean, small, and surfable. Nothing epic, but you won’t be sitting on the beach bored.

So, the best of the best? Sunday the 2nd, and then Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th. That’s your window for the best waves over the next two weeks.

Stay salty,
Rusty
