The Lowdown
Monday the 31st kicks things off with small, clean surf at Los Pocitos (Nicaragua) – 3.6ft of NE swell, but it’s only managing a 6-second period so it’s pretty weak. Water’s sitting at 82.4°, right on average for this time of year. Not much to get amped about, but it’s rideable. That little bump fades fast though, and from Thursday the 3rd through the weekend, the swell just vanishes – we’re talking 0.3ft and pretty much flat. That stretch from Thursday morning right through to Saturday the 5th is a write-off, so don’t bother paddling out unless you’re after a float.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The surf picks back up Sunday the 6th with waist-high 3ft, but the real deal shows up on Monday the 7th. That morning we’ve got 5.2ft of ENE swell with an 8-second period, and it’s glassy with offshore winds. That’s the standout of the whole run – clean, punchy, and lined up nicely. The energy reading jumps to 270, which is solid. Tuesday the 8th drops a touch to 3.9ft, but then Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th bring it right back – 5.2ft to 5.6ft, same ENE direction, still 7-8 seconds, and offshore breeze keeping it tidy. That’s another good couple of days if you can get out.
Second week settles into a more modest groove – 3.6ft to 4.3ft of ENE swell through mid-week, still clean, still offshore, but nothing peeling your eyelids back. The 15th of September is the last call before the window closes, and it’s just okay. Los Pocitos is fairly consistent for the area, and it’s exposed enough to keep picking up this ENE push, but honestly, the first half of the week is your best bet. Get it while the 5.2ft days are rolling through – that’s the meat of the run.
Stay stoked.

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.
