The Lowdown

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

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The surf we’ve got on offer is small and pretty ordinary for the first few days. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Friday the 24th kicks things off with some small 4 ft NE swell, but it’s short-period at 7 seconds and the energy is weak (100). The wind is offshore, which is a positive, but the conditions are just very ordinary. Friday afternoon drops to 4 ft but the period gets even shorter to 6 seconds. Saturday the 25th is more of the same: 3 ft, short period, and the energy is fading (93 and 85). It’s rideable but nothing to get excited about.

Now, Sunday the 26th is a little different. The swell is still small at 3 ft from the NE, but the wind goes glassy – that’s serious good news for clean surf. The energy is low (79 and 86), so it’s not going to have much push, but if you’re after a longboard or a fun log, the clean conditions will make it a nice session. Monday the 27th keeps the glassy wind in the morning before turning offshore in the afternoon, with the same 3 ft swell. Still small, but clean.

There’s a real lull on Tuesday the 28th. The morning is a write-off with no swell, and the afternoon only sees a tiny 0.3 ft pulse. Definitely a day to do something else.

Things start to pick up again Wednesday the 29th. The swell returns to 4 ft in the morning, building to 4 ft in the afternoon, with moderate energy (107 and 130). The wind stays offshore, so conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but still pretty average.

The standout window arrives Thursday the 30th of July. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds and the energy kicks up to a solid 392. That’s moderate wave energy and the biggest swell we’ve seen. The wind is offshore, moderate breeze, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the best of the whole run. It’s still a manageable size for intermediates, but the punch is there. Friday the 31st holds similar quality with 5 ft and 5 ft swell, and the energy stays strong (294 and 219). The wind stays offshore too. That Thursday and Friday are your calls.

The first week of August sees a gradual drop-off. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are back to 4 ft and 4 ft with ordinary conditions. The energy is moderate (191 to 140). The wind is offshore, so it’s clean, but the quality is just so-so. That pattern holds through to Wednesday the 6th, with waves in the 3 ft to 4 ft range.

The second week shows a bit of a pulse again. Friday the 7th of August brings 5 ft swell from the ENE, with 215 energy and good surf conditions in the morning. Saturday the 8th keeps it going with 5 ft in the morning and 5 ft in the afternoon, both with moderate energy, and the wind stays offshore. It’s not as punchy as that Thursday the 30th, but it’s the best of the second week. A solid option for a weekend session.

Best on offer: Without a doubt, Thursday the 30th of July and Friday the 31st of July are the highlights. The swell is 6 ft to 5 ft from the ENE, with clean offshore winds and the strongest energy of the whole period. The break is a consistent, exposed spot, and it’s an intermediate-level wave at that size. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” so there could be a few out, but it won’t be a circus. If you only get out once, make it that Thursday.

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.

Los Pocitos is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Maiquetia. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Maiquetia. Maiquetia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
