The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Los Pocitos.

Alright, so we’ve got a solid run of surf coming up. The first real action kicks off on Friday the 31st of July. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing crazy. The pattern is all about a consistent, moderate ENE swell with a short period of 7 seconds. It’s not a groundswell, so it’s a bit of a windswell, but the wind is offshore and clean every single day through the whole forecast. That’s a huge win. The combined swell energy is moderate, so there’s some push.

The standout here is definitely the middle of the run. Friday the 31st morning and afternoon are both good, with a 5ft ENE swell, clean offshore winds. The waves are clean and rideable, and the wind is light and offshore – perfect conditions for a fun session. The break is a fairly consistent spot, exposed to the north, and the ENE swell is coming right from the optimum direction. It’s a good call for intermediate surfers, but the swell is right around the 5ft mark, so beginners might find it a bit of a push. Crowds are possible, so be ready for some company.

The run continues solid through Saturday and Sunday, but the quality dips a little. Surfable, but ordinary. The real magic picks up again on Wednesday the 5th of August into the following week. The swell bumps up to 5ft on Wednesday and Thursday, with more energy. That’s a step up in power. The wind is still offshore, clean, and moderate. Friday the 7th of August is another highlight, with a 6ft ENE swell – that’s the biggest wave height of the whole period, and it’s clean. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit bouncy, but the wind is perfect.

The real gem, though, is the 13th of August. That Thursday morning has a 6ft ENE swell, the period bumps up to 8 seconds, and the combined energy is the highest in the whole run. The wind is a moderate offshore from the ENE. That’s a proper session. The swell direction is right on the money. It’s a big standout for the whole period. The Friday the 14th of August is also solid, with a 6ft swell.

So, overall, this is a rare, consistent run of clean, offshore wind at Los Pocitos. The first week is good, but the second week – from the 5th of August onwards – is where the real quality lies. The 13th is the absolute best bet. Grab it. The last few days, the 15th of August, the swell is dropping off, but it’s still rideable. No gaps in the surf, just a steady stream of waves.

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.
