Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way at Los Pocitos. It’s not a one-day wonder; this is a stretch that’s going to keep giving. The water is sitting at 81°, which is pretty much where you’d expect it to be for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Things kick off on Friday, July 10th. We’re looking at a clean 6ft swell from the ENE, with an 8-second period and moderate offshore winds. The energy is moderate (362), and the combo of that offshore wind and decent size means the morning is the pick. It’s slightly smaller in the afternoon, but still good.

Saturday the 11th is a treat. The swell drops just a touch to 5ft in the morning, but the wind goes lighter – a gentle offshore breeze from the ENE. That’s going to make for some smooth, clean faces all day, with the afternoon holding at 5ft. The energy is still ticking over nicely (257-294). This is the standout of the first few days.

Sunday the 12th stays clean with gentle offshore winds. The swell goes a bit north of east, still around 5ft to 5ft. The period drops to 7 seconds on Sunday afternoon, so the waves will be a little more wind-swell in nature, but still surfable and clean.

Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are a step down. The swell drops to 4ft, and the conditions are described as ordinary. Still offshore, but the quality takes a hit. The energy dips into the 170s. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Then we get a nice pulse mid-week. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th pick up again, with 5ft to 6ft swell from the ENE. The period stays short at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps back up to the 270s and 300s. The wind is a mix of moderate and gentle offshore, so the morning sessions will be the cleanest.

The following weekend, Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th, holds in there at 5ft to 5ft. Saturday afternoon does drop off a bit to 5ft with ordinary conditions.

From Sunday the 19th right through to Thursday the 23rd, we hit a slump. The swell sits between 4ft and 4ft, and the energy drops into the low 100s and even down to 60. The conditions are ordinary for the most part, though there’s a light offshore wind that keeps things clean but weak. This is a gap of about five days where the surf is pretty average.

Just when you think it’s over, Friday the 24th brings a bit of life back. The swell jumps back to 5ft from the ENE with a 7-second period, and the energy climbs back to 250. Moderate offshore wind means clean waves again. Saturday the 25th fades back to 4ft and ordinary conditions, so that Friday is the last real highlight.

For the purest, most consistent run of clean surf, you want to get out there on Friday morning July 10th through Saturday July 11th, and again on Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th. That’s your sweet spot. Crowds are listed as "sometimes", so you might have company, but with this quality, you can expect a few others out there.

This is Rusty, signing off.

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.

Los Pocitos is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Maiquetia. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Maiquetia. Maiquetia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
