The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Los Pocitos.
This forecast is a story of a slow start, a quick burst of good energy, and then a long, clean but mellow finish.
Right away, Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th of July, the surf is tiny. We’re talking waist-high or smaller, around 3 to 3 feet from the NE, with a short 6 to 7 second period. The water’s sitting at about 80°, which is normal for this time of year. The wave energy is weak, and the wind is a light offshore breeze from the east, so the surface is glassy, but there’s no grunt in the waves. Bring a log.
Tuesday the 28th is a write-off – almost no swell. Wednesday the 29th keeps the clean look but still very small.
Now, here’s where we perk up. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July. The swell builds to a solid 5 to 6 feet from the ENE, with the period bumping up to 8 seconds. The combined energy hits the moderate range (211 to 319). This is the window. Offshore winds from the E or ENE at around 9 to 10 mph keep it clean and lined up. Friday morning with that 6-foot swell and the wind in the right spot is the top call. This break can get some crowd, so plan accordingly.
From Saturday the 1st of August onwards, the swell backs down to the 4 to 5-foot range. The winds stay offshore, keeping everything clean, but the energy drops. It’s surfable and nice-looking right through to Monday the 10th of August, but the size and punch just aren’t there to make it a standout.
Bottom line: the first few days are small and clean but gutless. The best waves of the whole outlook are on Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July. Then we slide into a long, clean stretch of average, smaller surf. It’s not a bad run, but there’s only one real highlight.
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.
