The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same outlook but in feet and miles per hour.
The water's sitting at a normal 80°F for this time of year. The first few days are a total waste. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are flat with waves only 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft from the east-northeast. The energy is weak, and it’s just poor conditions. Don't bother.
Wednesday the 29th of July, we finally see a pulse of 4 ft swell from the east-northeast, but it’s short-period at 6 seconds. The energy is still low, and the conditions are just “surfable but very ordinary.” The wind is offshore and clean, though. Thursday the 30th is where it gets real. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the east-northeast, period at 7 seconds, and the energy hits moderate. The wind is a moderate offshore breeze, and the call is “expect good surf conditions.” Friday the 31st looks even better with 6 ft swell from the east-northeast, 8-second period, and strong energy. Moderate offshore wind, clean lines. That’s the pick of the first week.
The surf settles back down over the weekend and into early next week, with waves around 4 ft to 5 ft and moderate energy. All surfable, but nothing special. Then, on Friday the 7th of August, another pulse. Swell hits 6 ft from the east-northeast, period at 7 seconds, and moderate energy. Offshore wind out of the east at 12 mph. Good conditions. Saturday the 8th holds similar 5 ft to 6 ft swell, also clean.
The absolute standout is Tuesday the 11th of August. That morning, the swell jumps to 6 ft from the east-northeast, period is 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 744 – that’s strong, punchy energy. The wind is a moderate offshore breeze from the east at 12 mph. The call is “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the one to mark on your calendar. It’s a way-off call, so it’s promising but not guaranteed. Wednesday the 5th of August has no swell in the morning, so skip that day.
Overall, the first week is a slow burn, but the second week shapes up into a solid run, with that Tuesday the 11th looking like the best of the lot.
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.
