The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming up.
We’re starting off on Tuesday, July 21st, and it’s a slow one. The surf is small, with a combined swell energy of just 80, and the wind is cross-off, so it’s not clean. The water is 81°, which is about normal for this time of year. Nothing to rush out for on Tuesday morning.
Tuesday afternoon looks a little better with the wind turning offshore, but the swell is still only 3ft from the ENE and the period is short, 6 seconds. The energy climbs a bit to 85. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Wednesday and Wednesday night are flat—no surf at all. Thursday morning, July 23rd, brings a pulse of 5ft swell from the ENE, period still short at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps to 210. Good offshore wind will keep it clean, and this is where things start to get interesting. Thursday afternoon backs off a little but still rideable.
Friday through the weekend and into early next week, we’re looking at a consistent run of 3ft to 4ft ENE swell, with offshore winds and clean conditions. The energy stays moderate, between 69 and 142. It’s not pumping, but it’s steady. The real standout of the whole forecast comes on Thursday, July 30th, when the swell picks up to 6ft from the ENE, with a combined energy of 286. Winds are offshore and moderate, so it’ll be clean. That’s the best day of the window, and it’s a solid intermediate swell. Still a short period at 7 seconds, so it won’t have the real punch of a groundswell, but it’s the best on offer.
After that, the swell eases through the end of July and into August, with most days offering 4ft to 4ft ENE swell, moderate energy, and offshore winds. It’s not a blockbuster run, but for a spot that’s fairly consistent, it’s a solid stretch of ridable, clean waves. The first week of August looks similar, with a little bump in energy on the 3rd and 4th, but nothing that jumps out as a second standout.
So, if you’re looking for the best, Thursday July 30th is your day. The rest is steady, clean, and fun but not epic. The spot is Los Pocitos, and it’s exposed to the north, so that ENE swell is working well. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so keep that in mind on the better days.
Rusty out.

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.
