The Lowdown

Howdy, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles this time.

So, not a whole lot to get excited about for the next couple of weeks, but let's break down what we've got.

The action starts Sunday the 19th of July at Los Pocitos. We're looking at small, clean waves with offshore winds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 207, so there's a little bit of push. Water temp is 81°, which is right where it should be for this time of year – nothing wild there.

The best window looks to be Monday the 20th of July. Swell comes up to about 6ft from the ENE with that gentle offshore breeze keeping things tidy. It's an intermediate break and fairly consistent, so it'll be your best chance at something half decent. The swell period is short at 7 seconds and the energy is moderate (271). Don't expect perfection, but it's the highlight.

From Tuesday the 21st, we drop back into smaller, more ordinary surf. Swell runs between 3ft and 4ft, winds stay offshore but the quality fades. The combined energy sits in the 100s, so it's weak. This pattern of small, short-period ENE swell and average conditions drags on through the end of July and into early August. There's always a risk of storms overhead too.

Around Saturday the 1st of August, the morning could be worth a quick paddle with a light offshore breeze and 4ft NE swell, but the energy is only 109 – very weak. By Sunday the 2nd of August, you’ll see a morning pulse of 4ft and a moderate 12 mph offshore wind, but it dies off completely in the afternoon to a pathetic 0.7ft and cross-offshore wind. Don't bother.

To sum it up, your one standout is Monday the 20th of July at Los Pocitos. It’ll be the biggest wave day of the fortnight at 6ft from the ENE with clean, glassy conditions and moderate energy. Crowds can happen now and then, so time it right.

Stay tuned, things can always turn around.

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.
