The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a slow starter on our hands, but the second week pulls through with some proper grunt.

Right now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The first solid window kicks off on Tuesday, August 4th at Los Pocitos. It’s a fairly consistent spot, exposed to the north, with an east offshore wind blowing all period, which is a huge positive for clean faces. The water’s sitting at 82°, about average for this time of year—nothing unusual there. Swell’s coming from the ENE at 4 ft with a short 7-second period, so it’s a bit lumpy and disorganised. Combined energy is moderate at 158. It’s surfable, but forgettable.

Wednesday morning, August 5th, drops a little to 4 ft, same short 7-second period, ENE, with energy falling to 91 – weak stuff. Afternoon flatlines completely. Thursday the 6th picks back up to 5 ft, ENE, 7 seconds, moderate energy at 186, but conditions still ordinary.

Then Friday, August 7th, is the first real standout of the period. Morning shows 5 ft, ENE, 7 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze (12 mph) keeps things clean. Energy jumps to 258 – moderate. Afternoon holds 6 ft, ENE, 7 seconds, energy at 241. This is the best early session, with clean lines and enough juice for a fun intermediate wave. Crowds are possible here, just a heads up.

Saturday the 8th pulls back a touch, 4 ft in the morning, then flat by afternoon. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th stay stuck around 4 to 5 ft, ENE, 7 seconds, moderate energy (154 to 180). Ordinary but rideable. Tuesday the 11th shifts a bit – 4 ft, NE, 7 seconds, energy dropping to 131. Wednesday the 12th back to 4 ft, ENE, 7 seconds, 163 energy.

Then we hit a proper upgrade starting Friday, August 14th. Morning swell jumps to 7 ft, ENE, 8-second period, and energy rockets to 439 – strong. This is expert territory. Moderate offshore wind (12 mph) keeps it clean. Afternoon stays solid at 6 ft, ENE, 7 seconds, 327 energy. Saturday the 15th holds 6 ft all day, ENE, 8 seconds, energy 400 to 447. Sunday the 16th sticks at 6 ft morning, 6 ft afternoon, ENE, 8 seconds, 423 and 390 energy. This is the best run of the forecast – consistent, solid, clean, and powerful. For the experienced crew, these are the days to circle. Monday the 17th stays good at 5 ft and 5 ft, ENE, 8 seconds, energy 302 and 224.

Tuesday the 18th drops back to 4 ft morning, then 5 ft afternoon, ENE, 8 seconds, energy 143 to 202. Wednesday the 19th holds 5 ft, ENE, 7 seconds, 208 energy. Conditions are still clean but the punch is gone.

There’s a long gap with no surf recommendations from the start up until Tuesday August 4th. After that, it’s a steady run of small, ordinary waves until that Friday August 14th stand-out kicks in.

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.
