The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the surf is small but it’s rideable. We’re looking at a long stretch of clean, offshore conditions with a consistent easterly flow. The first week is pretty average – waves in the 4ft to 5ft range from the ENE, with a short period of 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak to moderate (120 to 191), so it’s not going to blow your socks off, but the wind is light and offshore, keeping things tidy. It’s more of a cruiser’s week than a standout.

The real action starts to build around Friday the 7th of August. The swell picks up to 5ft from the ENE, period still short at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps to 273 (moderate). The wind is a moderate offshore breeze, so it’s clean and punchy. That’s a solid little session if you’re keen.

The standout of the entire forecast, though, is the morning of Friday the 14th of August. That’s when we see the swell hit 6ft from the ENE, with a period stretching to 8 seconds and the combined energy jumping to 410 (strong). The wind is a gentle offshore breeze, keeping it glassy and clean. That’s the best wave of the fortnight – still manageable for most intermediates, but with enough push to get you excited.

The swell stays solid through the 15th and 16th, hovering around 6ft to 6ft with energy in the 300 to 400 range. The wind stays offshore, so expect good, clean waves. The direction is ENE, which is right on the money for Los Pocitos.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The break itself is fairly consistent and exposed, and while it can get crowded sometimes, the conditions we’re looking at should keep the stoke levels high.

Overall, the first week is a bit sleepy, but it’s consistent. The second week has a proper standout on the 14th, with good surf running through the weekend. The longer-range stuff has a bit of uncertainty, but it’s looking promising.

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.
