The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start, but once we get past the middle of the week, things start to pick up. The ocean’s sitting at a warm 81° right now, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
We’ve got a long run of surf ahead, but the opening days through Wednesday the 15th and into Thursday the 16th are just small and ordinary. Waist-high waves around 4ft, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a bit weak and crumbly. Wind is offshore from the ENE, so the surface will be clean, but the energy is low. It’s surfable, but honestly, not worth rushing for.
Friday the 17th morning is where we start to see a real lift. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy gets into the moderate range. Winds stay offshore at 12 mph, keeping things lined up and clean. That’s going to be the first proper session of the run.
The weekend, Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, holds steady with 4 to 5ft surf. It’s not big, but the consistency is there, and with those offshore breezes, you’ll find clean, fun waves. There’s a risk of thunderstorms around, so keep an eye on the sky.
Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are the real standouts in this outlook. We’ve got 5ft swell from the ENE, and the combined energy is pushing into the mid-to-high range. The period is short at 7 seconds which keeps the waves a bit sectiony, but with a clean offshore wind, this is going to be the best run of surf we see. For an intermediate crew, this is your window.
After that, things slowly wind down. From Wednesday the 22nd, the swell starts to drop, and by Thursday the 23rd, we’re back to small 3 to 4ft surf with weak energy. The last week of the month looks pretty quiet, with mostly knee-to-waist-high waves and low energy. Nothing to get excited about, though the winds stay favourable. There’s a little pulse around the 29th and 30th with 5ft showing up again, but that’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising possibility rather than a sure thing.
Los Pocitos is a fairly consistent spot, and even with the ups and downs, there’s plenty of clean, rideable surf across the next 16 days. The best bet is to aim for the 17th through the 22nd – that’s where the quality and the energy line up best.
Stay stoked.

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.
