The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Los Pocitos.
Right now, it’s a slow start. The next couple of days, Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th, are pretty flat and ordinary. We've got a weak little 3ft to 4ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a short 6 to 7 seconds, so it's lacking any punch. The combined energy is low, between 75 and 173 (weak to moderate). You can paddle out, but it's going to feel like a lot of work for not much reward. The water temp is 82°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least it's comfortable.
Things start to pick up on Tuesday the 8th. Swell builds to 5ft from the ENE, with a 7-second period, and the energy jumps into the moderate zone (237). Plus, we've got a clean offshore wind from the ENE, blowing at 9 to 12 mph. This is the first real chance for some fun, lined-up waves. Tuesday looks like the standout for the first week – not huge, but clean and surfable.
Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th hold similar 4ft swell, with offshore winds keeping things tidy, but the energy dips back a bit. Still, perfectly fun, everyday surf.
Now, here's the real highlight. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, the swell bumps up to 5ft to 6ft from the ENE, with a slightly longer 8-second period. The combined energy rockets to 400 and 329 (moderate to strong). That's a significant jump in power. With continued offshore winds from the ENE and ESE, these two days are the best on offer. The waves will have some real push to them. It's still fine for intermediates, but at 6ft, beginners might find it a bit challenging.
Sunday the 13th sees a drop back to 4ft, and the energy fades. Then Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th looks like a bit of a lull. We see a tiny 0.3ft swell from the north, with almost no energy (6 to 7), so it's basically flat. This gap lasts a few days.
From Wednesday the 16th onwards, we get a weak rebound, with 3ft to 4ft swell from the ENE, period 6 to 7 seconds, and energy mostly in the 100s (weak to moderate). Nothing to write home about, but you can still find a knee-to-waist high wave with the offshore breeze.
One interesting note: on Saturday the 19th morning, we get a brief moment of glassy conditions with zero wind. The swell is still small at 4ft, but that kind of clean, mirror-like surface is a treat for anyone who can get out.
So, for the best surf, aim for Tuesday the 8th through Saturday the 12th, with Friday and Saturday being the real standouts for more powerful, clean waves. Keep your eyes on the ENE wind and that building swell.
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.
