The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming for Los Pocitos over the next 16 days. It’s a typical stretch for this spot – the first week is mostly small and weak, then we get a nice little pulse toward the end of July and into early August. Water temp feels normal for this time of year, nothing weird.
From Saturday the 25th through Sunday the 26th, we’ve got tiny waves, all around 3 ft from the NE, with a short period of just 7 seconds. The combined energy is super low (77 to 99), so it’s gutless. But Sunday morning turns glassy, so it’s clean as a mirror. A longboard or a foamie would be your friend here.
Then Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 29th is a proper lull. Swell drops to near nothing – Tuesday it’s barely a ripple, with combined energy in the single digits. It’s a dead patch for a couple of days.
The real highlight comes Thursday the 30th of July. Swell jumps to 5 ft to 6 ft from the ENE, with an 8-second period. The combined energy hits 287 in the morning and 402 in the afternoon – that’s moderate energy, and it finally has some power. Offshore winds all day, so it’s going to be clean. This is the standout: head-high-plus, clean lines, and it’s still okay for decent intermediates. Crowds are possible, so expect a few.
Friday the 31st keeps it going with 5 ft to 6 ft from the ENE and energy around 209 to 256. More offshore wind – another good day.
After that, we settle back into fun, smaller surf throughout the first week of August, mostly 4 ft to 5 ft, with consistent offshore breezes keeping it clean. Tuesday August 4th bumps up to 5 ft with energy at 243 – another solid pick.
By August 9th, it’s still hanging in at around 5 ft. So, your best bet is clear: Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July. That’s the meat of the run. Everything else is small and clean, better for a longboard.
Rusty out.

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.
