The Lowdown
Alright, let's be real about the next couple of weeks at Los Pocitos. It's looking flat and weak. The water's sitting right on average for this time of year at 82°, so no surprises there.
We're starting with a whole lot of nothing for the first few days. The first little ripple of hope shows up on Wednesday the 16th with a 4ft bump from the ENE, but it's short-period junk and just won't have any power. This is the story for the next stretch – waves between 2ft and 4ft, all of it windswell with not much behind it. Most days have a cross-offshore breeze but also a risk of thunderstorms. The energy during this whole period is weak, readings like 87, 150, or 161.
The only day that looks remotely interesting is Thursday the 24th. The swell picks up a bit to 5ft, the energy jumps to 242, and we get that clean cross-offshore wind. It's still not groundswell, but it could be the one day with a bit more punch to it. That's your best bet out of the whole run.
After that, it fades again. We're back to small waves and weak energy, with a few glassy mornings thrown in. The end of the month sees the size just drop away, down to 0.7ft on the 28th and 30th, even though the period gets longer. It's a tease.
Bottom line: this is a long stretch of small, junky surf. The only date to circle is the 24th, and that's a long-range call with low confidence. Take it with a grain of salt. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and don't get too excited.

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.
