The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks.
Overall, it’s a mixed bag. We’ve got a persistent, workable little swell running, but nothing that’s going to blow your socks off. The water is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about a degree and a half above normal for this time of year, so it’s comfortable out there.
The first real standout window hits on Thursday, August 6th. The swell picks up to 5ft to 5ft from the ENE. The wind is steady offshore out of the ENE at 9 mph, keeping things clean. The wave energy is moderate, sitting around 217 to 224 (combined energy). It’s a short period, 7 second swell, so it’s not going to have that groundswell grunt, but for a beach break, it’ll be punchy enough. Friday, August 7th, looks even better. The swell holds at 6ft, with the same offshore wind, and the energy jumps up to 297 (combined energy). That’s the pick of the first week. The crowds can be here sometimes, so keep an eye out.
After that, the weekend and most of the following week settles back into ordinary, surfable but very ordinary waves, with heights around 4ft to 5ft and the same short period. Not worth rushing out for.
Now, looking further ahead, there’s a promising setup on Friday, August 14th, and into Saturday, August 15th. The swell is back up to 6ft from the NE on Friday morning, with a slightly longer period of 8 seconds. The energy is strong, hitting 390 (combined energy). The wind is light offshore from the E at 6 mph, so it’s going to be clean. Saturday morning keeps that same energy, with 6ft from the ENE and glassy conditions. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook – a proper little pulse. It’s a long-range call, so treat it with a bit of caution, but it looks promising.
One more thing to note: Monday, August 17th, the morning goes glassy with a 4ft NE swell and a 9-second period. That longer period will give it some shape, but it’s not the biggest.
To sum it up: the best surf is on Friday, August 7th, and then the standout window is Friday, August 14th, through Saturday, August 15th. If you’re a beginner, the 6ft days might be a bit much, but for intermediates, it’s game on.
Stay salty.

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.
