Los Pocitos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Los Pocitos in the next couple of weeks.

The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag – the size is there for a fun little wave, but the conditions are just ordinary. You’ll get some clean, gentle offshore wind through the mornings, but the swell is short-period and a little weak, with combined energy sitting around 127 (moderate). The water temperature is 80°F, pretty much bang on normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit can stay in the car.

Saturday afternoon (4th July) through to Monday morning (6th July) sees persistent 3ft to 4ft ENE swell, with a short 7-second period. The wind is light and offshore most of the time—clean, but nothing to get too excited about. Fairly consistent, but the vibe is “surfable but ordinary.”

The first real standout arrives on Thursday morning, 9th July. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, still a short 7-second period, but the combined energy jumps to 279 (moderate). The wind is a gentle offshore from the ENE, keeping it clean. This is the best of the early run—clean, fun-sized waves for an intermediate surfer. Expect crowds sometimes, as it’s a fairly consistent spot.

Now, Thursday afternoon (9th July) is a warning sign. The swell jumps to 7ft, and the combined energy rockets to 1125 (strong). That’s too big for this break—it’s predicted to be oversized and messy. Not one for the beginner.

The rest of the first week holds steady: Friday 10th through Sunday 12th offers 5ft to 6ft ENE swell, with periods creeping up to 8 seconds. The combined energy stays in the 287-392 range (moderate). The wind remains offshore, mostly gentle to moderate. It’s consistent, clean, and solid for a fun few days.

Into the second week, from Monday 13th July onward, the pattern settles into a reliable but not spectacular groove. Most mornings and afternoons see 4ft to 5ft ENE swell, with a short 7-second period, and offshore winds from the E or ENE. The combined energy hovers around 150-256 (moderate). It’s surfable, clean, and consistent—nothing to write home about, but a good bet for a daily paddle.

By Saturday 18th July, the swell drops to 3ft, and combined energy falls to 84 (weak). The short period (6 seconds) means it’ll be small and weak. The final days, 19th July, stay around 4ft to 5ft, with gentle offshore winds.

The standout: Thursday 9th July morning is the pick of the run—clean 5ft ENE swell, light offshore wind, and consistent. For the second week, Friday 10th and Saturday 11th offer the best combo of size and clean conditions.

Signing off, Rusty.
