The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to feet and miles. Rusty here again.
We’ve got a tricky 16 days ahead at Los Pocitos. The water is about 28°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. No big surprises there.
The first few days are a wash. Saturday and Sunday are small and messy. The first real surf worth a paddle is on Monday the 31st of August. The afternoon saw a 4ft swell from the ENE, 7-second period, and a clean offshore breeze from the E. The combined energy was 251 (moderate). That’s a solid session.
The rest of the first week is a slow build. Tuesday 1st September morning has a 5ft swell from the ENE, again with a 7-second period, and light offshore wind. The energy is 191. It’s clean but not powerful. The best in this stretch is Monday 31st August afternoon and Tuesday 1st September morning.
Now, the real standout is Monday 7th September. The morning swell is 5ft from the ENE with an 8-second period, and the wind is cross-off from the ENE, keeping it clean. The combined energy is 247. That’s a solid, well-shaped wave. Tuesday 8th September is also excellent, with a 5ft morning swell, a moderate offshore breeze, and energy at 244. That’s the best two days of the whole outlook.
The second week is more of a slow fade. Wednesday 9th September has a glassy morning with 5ft swell, but it’s a short 7-second period. The energy is 228. It’s clean but not punchy. Thursday 10th and Friday 11th are glassy and clean, but the swell drops to 4ft, with energy down to 121-131. Small and clean, but not a standout.
The final weekend, the 12th and 13th, is a fade. The swell holds at 4-4ft from the ENE, but the wind is a moderate offshore breeze, and the period stays short. The best of that bunch is Saturday 12th afternoon, with a 4ft swell and 155 energy. It’s rideable but nothing special.
The best two days are Monday 7th September and Tuesday 8th September. If you can only get in the water once, that’s your window. After that, it’s small, clean, and average.
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.
