Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a run of surf ahead at Los Pocitos, but it’s a slow burner. The first few days – Sunday July 5th through Wednesday 8th – offer surfable waves but very ordinary conditions. Swell sits around 4ft from the ENE, short period of 7 seconds, combined energy moderate (123–180). Still, winds are offshore and clean, so if you’re desperate you’ll get something.
Then Thursday 9th things kick up. Morning sees 6ft from the ENE, period 8 seconds, energy jumps to 372 – moderate but much more punch. Offshore breeze, clean. That’s the real start. Friday 10th afternoon is the highlight: 6ft ENE, 8-second period, energy hitting 453. Offshore wind at 12 mph. It’s a solid chest-to-head-high day with clean lines, though the short period means it’ll be a bit racy. Best for intermediate surfers – anything over 5ft is already too big for beginners. Crowds are sometimes, so expect a few heads.
Saturday 11th holds similar: 6ft morning, good conditions. Sunday 12th backs off a touch: 5ft, still good. Monday 13th onward the swell drops: 4–5ft, energy back under 210. By Friday 17th it’s down to 3ft, weak 85 energy. The rest of the run into July 20 stays small, 4–5ft, ordinary. Overall, Thursday 9th through Sunday 12th are the pick – clean, moderate swell, consistent enough. Water temp is a warm 80°, about normal for this time of year. No standout for experts, but Thursday afternoon to Saturday is your best bet.

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.
