The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s in the water.
We’ve got a slow start, but the swell builds as we head into the end of July and the first week of August.
The only break in the mix is Los Pocitos. It’s a fairly consistent spot, exposed to the north, and that’s the direction the swell is coming from. The water temp is 80°F, which is exactly average for the time of year.
The weekend of July 25th and 26th is small. Swell is 3ft from the ENE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is weak (113 on Saturday, 73 on Sunday). The wind is offshore and light, so it’s clean, but there’s hardly any push.
Monday the 27th is the same story: 3ft, 6-second period, weak energy (69). Clean but frustrating.
Tuesday the 28th is a total loss – swell drops to 0.7ft. Don’t bother.
Wednesday the 29th sees a tiny bump to 3ft in the afternoon, still short period, but energy creeps up to 77. Still ordinary.
Thursday July 30th is the first real standout. Swell jumps to 6ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, from the ENE, period 7-8 seconds. Energy hits 310 then 402 – that’s solid. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and the wind is a gentle offshore breeze. Clean, fun-sized waves for intermediates.
Friday July 31st holds well with 5ft in the morning and 4ft in the afternoon, same direction, energy around 200-247. Clean again.
The first weekend of August (1st and 2nd) eases back to 3ft to 4ft, shorter period, energy around 140-150. Still clean and surfable.
Monday August 3rd is similar: 4ft, 7-second period, moderate offshore breeze at 12 mph. Clean.
Tuesday August 4th is another standout. Swell builds to 5ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, period 7-8 seconds, energy at 213 and 229. Light offshore wind, clean conditions. Good for intermediates.
The rest of the first week of August runs 3ft to 4ft, with clean conditions and on-and-off energy. The last day to highlight is Sunday August 9th, with 5ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, period 7 seconds, energy climbing to 242 and 284. Moderate offshore breeze at 12 mph. Clean, fun waves.
Best days: Thursday July 30th and Tuesday August 4th. Both have solid 5ft-6ft swell, clean offshore wind, and moderate energy. Los Pocitos can get crowded, so plan accordingly.
Stay stoked,
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.
