Los Pocitos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a stretch of solid, fun-size surf rolling in. The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild there. The first standout is this Sunday morning, July 19th. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the ENE, with a gentle offshore breeze keeping things glassy. The combined energy is a moderate 202, and with that offshore wind, the waves should be holding up nicely. It’s a good, clean start.

Sunday afternoon holds up too, with a similar 5ft swell and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy bumps up a touch to 220. Monday, July 20th, is actually the pick of the early run. Morning sees a 6ft swell from the ENE, and while the period is a short 7 seconds, the wind is a gentle offshore, and the combined energy sits at a solid 279. That’s the biggest, cleanest wave of the first few days. It’s a bit much for total beginners at 6ft, but for intermediates it’s going to be a blast. Expect crowds sometimes though, as it’s a fairly consistent spot.

Tuesday morning, July 21st, we’re still on a 5ft ENE swell, clean with offshore winds. The energy drops a bit to 204, but still fun. By Tuesday afternoon, the swell eases to 4ft, and while the wind is light offshore, the conditions are described as “very ordinary.” From Wednesday, July 22nd, through to the end of July, the surf drops off into that 4ft to 4ft range, with periods around 6-7 seconds and energy levels mostly below 150. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The wind stays offshore, so it’ll be clean, just small.

We hit a real low point around the 27th of July, with waves dropping to 3ft, and by Monday afternoon the 27th, it’s a tiny 1.0ft with a long period of 9 seconds – that’s a poor surf call. There’s a gap of a few days of very small to flat conditions.

Then, looking ahead to the end of the month, there’s a little pulse on Thursday, July 30th. The afternoon shows a 5ft swell from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds and a combined energy of 234. The wind is a gentle offshore, so it’s clean. That’s a promising little uptick, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it. Friday, July 31st morning also looks similar with a 5ft ENE swell and moderate offshore wind. The energy is 215. It’s a solid, clean option for the end of the forecast period.

Overall, the best bet is this coming Monday, July 20th, for the biggest, cleanest swell. The rest of the window is a bit of a mixed bag of small, clean waves, with a hopeful little return to form around the 30th. Stay stoked.

Rusty.
