Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Los Pocitos in the next couple of weeks.

The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag – the size is there for a fun little wave, but the conditions are just ordinary. You’ll get some clean, gentle offshore wind through the mornings, but the swell is short-period and a little weak, with combined energy sitting around 127 (moderate). The water temperature is 80°F, pretty much bang on normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit can stay in the car.

Saturday afternoon (4th July) through to Monday morning (6th July) sees persistent 3ft to 4ft ENE swell, with a short 7-second period. The wind is light and offshore most of the time—clean, but nothing to get too excited about. Fairly consistent, but the vibe is “surfable but ordinary.”

The first real standout arrives on Thursday morning, 9th July. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, still a short 7-second period, but the combined energy jumps to 279 (moderate). The wind is a gentle offshore from the ENE, keeping it clean. This is the best of the early run—clean, fun-sized waves for an intermediate surfer. Expect crowds sometimes, as it’s a fairly consistent spot.

Now, Thursday afternoon (9th July) is a warning sign. The swell jumps to 7ft, and the combined energy rockets to 1125 (strong). That’s too big for this break—it’s predicted to be oversized and messy. Not one for the beginner.

The rest of the first week holds steady: Friday 10th through Sunday 12th offers 5ft to 6ft ENE swell, with periods creeping up to 8 seconds. The combined energy stays in the 287-392 range (moderate). The wind remains offshore, mostly gentle to moderate. It’s consistent, clean, and solid for a fun few days.

Into the second week, from Monday 13th July onward, the pattern settles into a reliable but not spectacular groove. Most mornings and afternoons see 4ft to 5ft ENE swell, with a short 7-second period, and offshore winds from the E or ENE. The combined energy hovers around 150-256 (moderate). It’s surfable, clean, and consistent—nothing to write home about, but a good bet for a daily paddle.

By Saturday 18th July, the swell drops to 3ft, and combined energy falls to 84 (weak). The short period (6 seconds) means it’ll be small and weak. The final days, 19th July, stay around 4ft to 5ft, with gentle offshore winds.

The standout: Thursday 9th July morning is the pick of the run—clean 5ft ENE swell, light offshore wind, and consistent. For the second week, Friday 10th and Saturday 11th offer the best combo of size and clean conditions.

Signing off, 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.
