The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what’s cooking for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks.
I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the scoop. The first few days are pretty flat and nothing special, but there’s a solid run of waves coming through from around Monday, September 7th, that’ll last into the next week. The water’s sitting at a warm 83°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
The one real standout in this whole forecast is Los Pocitos, and it’s going to be pumping best from Monday afternoon through to Saturday morning, September 12th. Monday afternoon sees the swell building to 5ft from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds, and a moderate wave energy reading (222). The wind is offshore and gentle, so the surf will be clean and well-shaped. It’s a fairly consistent break, but you might have some company, so get there early.
The absolute best of the best looks like Saturday morning, September 12th. The swell hits 6ft from the ENE, period 7 seconds, and the energy jumps up to 345 – that’s a solid push. The wind is light offshore, making for some really clean, fun waves. It’s a strong, consistent option for intermediate surfers, but remember the swell is over 5ft, so beginners might want to sit this one out.
After that, the surf stays rideable but gets more average through the second week. From Sunday, September 14th, the swell drops back to 4ft and under, with short periods around 6 seconds, and the wind starts to get a bit messy. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on Tuesday morning, September 15th, and again on Wednesday morning, September 16th, but the waves are small and weak – energy readings are down in the 60s and 70s. It’s not a total loss, but nothing to get stoked about.
The end of the outlook, from September 19th onwards, fades out with very small surf and poor conditions, so don’t plan a trip around that.
Bottom line: your best bet is to aim for the window from Monday afternoon, September 7th, through to Saturday morning, September 12th, with Saturday morning being the pick of the bunch. The forecasts for the second week are less certain, but the early signs are looking good.
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.

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.
