The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the horizon, starting Monday afternoon, August 3rd, and it doesn’t really look like letting up. The overall pattern is persistent ENE swell with clean, offshore winds holding for the vast majority of the period. The water’s sitting at 83°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year – feels nice out there.
The standout window looks to be the morning of Monday, August 17th. That’s when we see the swell pushing up to 7 ft from the ENE, the combined energy hitting a strong 551 (moderate), and the wind dropping to a light breeze. That’s the best-looking setup of the whole forecast – clean, decent size, and plenty of punch.
Los Pocitos is the only break on the card, and it’s a fairly consistent spot, exposed to the north. The swell direction is ENE, which is spot-on for what it likes. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out.
Kicking off Monday, August 3rd afternoon, we’ve got 4 ft of ENE swell at 7 seconds, with a gentle offshore breeze. Conditions are surfable but ordinary. The energy is moderate at 142.
Tuesday, August 4th morning is a step up. Swell bumps to 5 ft, still ENE, period at 7 seconds, and the wind is a gentle offshore. The energy jumps to 235 (moderate), and the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s your first real green light. The afternoon backs off a touch to 4 ft but stays clean.
Wednesday, August 5th is similar – 4 ft in the morning, dropping to a light breeze in the afternoon with a shorter 6-second period. Still clean, but a bit weaker.
Thursday, August 6th sees a return to 5 ft and 7 seconds. Morning and afternoon both look good, with energy at 249 and 222 (moderate). Winds are gentle offshore.
Friday, August 7th pushes a little higher. The morning hits 6 ft with a moderate offshore breeze, energy at 353 (moderate). The afternoon is 6 ft. Both sessions are clean and good.
Saturday, August 8th and Sunday, August 9th settle back to 4 ft to 5 ft, with the period dropping to 6 seconds at times. The wind stays offshore, but the quality drops to “surfable but ordinary.” Still worth a paddle if you’re keen.
The first full week rolls into the second with similar conditions. Monday, August 10th through Wednesday, August 12th stays in the 4 ft to 5 ft range, ENE, with offshore winds. Nothing special, but consistent.
Then Thursday, August 13th morning picks up again – 5 ft, 7 seconds, energy at 311 (moderate), and “expect good surf conditions.” That trend holds through Friday, August 14th morning with 6 ft and 271 energy.
Saturday, August 15th is interesting. The swell shifts slightly to NE, still 5 ft, but the period stretches to 8 seconds. That’s a bit longer, meaning better-shaped waves. The wind is a moderate offshore, and energy is at 291 (moderate). A solid day.
Sunday, August 16th is the build-up to the big one. Morning sees 6 ft from the ENE at 8 seconds, with energy hitting 436 (moderate). The afternoon holds at 6 ft. Both sessions are good.
Then Monday, August 17th morning – that’s the standout. 7 ft from the ENE, 8 seconds, light breeze, and energy at 551 (strong). That’s the best wave of the forecast. The afternoon drops to 5 ft but stays clean.
Tuesday, August 18th finishes the run with 6 ft in the morning, dropping to 5 ft in the afternoon. Still offshore, still good.
Overall, it’s a rare stretch of persistent ENE swell with clean offshore winds. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a solid run. The best of the best is Monday, August 17th morning – get it while it’s good.
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.
