Los Pocitos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty lookin’ at the surf ahead for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks. There’s a bit of a slow start, but the end of the week and into the weekend has some proper grunt.

Right off the bat, Tuesday the 11th kicks off small. You’re looking at about 3ft of weak, short-period NE swell, combined energy is only 80 – it’s clean with that light offshore breeze, but there’s not enough oomph behind it. Honestly, it’s a bit of a washout for any real fun.

Wednesday the 12th is a mixed bag. The morning’s flat with just 0.3ft, but by the afternoon, the swell picks up to 4ft from the ENE, period short at 6 seconds. Energy climbs to 107 (moderate), and the offshore wind stays light, so it’s clean. Still, it’s ordinary.

Thursday the 13th is building. The morning’s small at 3ft with a moderate breeze (15 km/h), but the afternoon pushes up to 5ft from the ENE, energy jumps to 243 (moderate), and the wind is a moderate offshore. It’s getting better, but the quality is only “good,” not outstanding.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday the 14th morning brings a solid 7ft swell from the ENE, period still short at 8 seconds, but the energy is pumping at 555 (strong). That’s too much grunt for this break, though – the model’s saying it’s too big. This one is for the experts only. Wind is clean with a slight air, but at 7ft and short period, it’ll be a handful.

Saturday the 15th is the standout. Morning sees 7ft from the ENE, still a short 8-second period, but energy is 525 (strong). The moderate offshore breeze (20 km/h) keeps it clean. This is the best on offer: solid, punchy, and well-shaped by the offshore wind. The wave comment says “very good” conditions. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’s worth it.

Sunday the 16th backs off a bit to 5ft in the morning, energy 244 (moderate), with a moderate offshore. It’s still clean and fun, but not the standout Saturday is.

Monday the 17th to Wednesday the 19th settles into a pattern of 4ft to 5ft ENE swell, with light to gentle offshore winds and moderate energy (around 134 to 211). It’s clean and surfable, but nothing special.

Thursday the 20th goes flat – no swell at all. Friday the 21st returns with a weak 4ft ENE swell (6-second period, energy 103), but the wind shifts cross-offshore in the morning, so it’s messy and not recommended.

The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd stays small, around 4ft to 5ft, with light offshores and moderate energy (149 to 168). Sunday the 23rd morning is glassy with a 5 km/h SE breeze – that’s a treat for clean conditions, but the swell’s underwhelming.

Monday the 24th is flat again. Then Tuesday the 25th sees a bump to 5ft from the ENE in the afternoon, energy 250 (moderate), with a gentle offshore. Wednesday the 26th pushes stronger to 6ft and 362 energy (moderate), still the same ENE direction and gentle offshore. That’s a solid end to the outlook, but it’s deep in the second week, so less certain.

Water temp is about average for this time of year – no big anomaly. Saturday the 15th morning is the clear standout: 7ft ENE, clean offshore wind, strong energy. The rest is a waiting game or a fun but small option.

Rusty out.
