Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a run of small, short-period windswell from the ENE – nothin’ too exciting, but it stays steady. The water temp is sittin’ at a pretty standard 80°, so nothin’ unusual for this time of year.

The forecast kicks off with some very small surf. Sunday, July 5th, is tiny at 3 ft, with that short 7-second period makin’ it feel weak, just 94 of overall energy. It’s clean enough, with a light offshore puff, but it’s not gonna get the heart racin’. Monday and Tuesday stay mediocre, bumpin’ up to 4 ft but still with that short period, energy only crackin’ 150-odd. The wind stays offshore, keepin’ the surface clean, but the wave shape just isn’t gonna be that inspiring.

Now, things get more interestin’ as we move into Thursday, July 9th. The swell builds a touch to 5 ft, the period stretches to 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to 294 (moderate). The wind is still off the land, keepin’ it clean. This is where I’d start gettin’ a little excited. Friday, July 10th, looks like the real standout. We’re seein’ 6 ft of ENE swell, with that same 8-second period pushin’ the combined energy to 389 (moderate). That’s the fattest, most powerful window in the whole run. The morning looks clear with a steady offshore breeze. This is your best bet of the whole outlook. Los Pocitos is exposed to north swells, and while this ENE isn’t dead perfect, it’s got enough wrap to make it worthwhile, and the offshore wind is the key – it’ll be clean and lined up.

We ride that wave of decent energy through Saturday and into Sunday, July 12th, with 5 ft and consistent offshore flow. The energy stays in the low-to-mid 200s. Good fun, just not quite the peak that Friday was. After that, things taper off. Monday the 13th drops back to 4 ft and the energy sinks. The second week is weaker overall, with most mornings comin’ in around 4 ft, and that short 7-second period. Wednesday the 15th has a brief spike in the morning with 6 ft and energy at 353, but the period is still just 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a mush burger compared to that first week’s Friday.

Overall, your window is from Thursday, July 9th, through Sunday, July 12th. Friday, July 10th, is the pick of the crop. After that, the surf drops away into smaller, weaker conditions for the second week. Don’t hold your breath.

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.
