The Lowdown
Alright lads, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what Los Pocitos has in store for the next couple weeks.
We’re looking at a long stretch of small, short-period windswell out of the ENE. It’s not gonna blow your mind, but the wind is offshore or light almost the whole time, so it’ll be clean. Water temp is 28°C – that’s about average for the time of year, nothing weird.
We start on Wednesday the 26th of August. It’s a bit rough with a risk of thunderstorms and a 20 km/h east wind, but it’s offshore, so the 1.2m swell from the ENE (moderate energy at 110) will be rideable. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a bit gutless but clean. Thursday morning the 27th is a touch nicer: lighter ENE breeze at 10 km/h, still offshore, with 1.3m of the same short-period stuff and energy up to 145. It’s all very ordinary, but you can get wet.
The real bright spot in this otherwise average run is Tuesday the 8th of September. That morning and afternoon we see 1.5m of ENE swell, still a short 7-second period, but the energy climbs to 217 (moderate) and the wind is a gentle offshore breeze at 15 km/h. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions” – that’s the pick of the crop. The break is fairly consistent, so intermediates should have a blast. Keep an eye out for crowds, they’re a possibility.
The days before that are pretty forgettable, with most mornings offering less than 1.3m and energy dropping below 100 at times. By the 4th and 5th of September, it’s slim pickings with 0.9m and energy in the 40s and 60s. The 5th of September afternoon actually goes flat with no swell at all. But then it builds back into that 8th of September window.
From the 9th onward, it’s back to the same old grind: 1.1m to 1.4m, short period, clean but nothing special. The energy stays moderate, with the 10th of September afternoon showing a decent 191 (moderate), but it’s not a standout.
Bottom line: pencil in Tuesday the 8th of September. That’s your best chance for a clean, fun session. The rest is just filler for a paddle and a few grovelly 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.
