The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we've got a solid run of surfable but nothing-to-write-home-about waves kicking off on Sunday, the 30th of August. The water's sitting right around 82°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The early part of the week is all about small, clean, offshore conditions. Swell is coming from the NE and ENE, around 3ft to 5ft, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 192 on Monday morning, so there's a bit of push, but these are short-period, windswell-type waves. It's clean, with light offshore breezes, so it'll be fun for a longboard or a fish, but nothing to get the heart racing.
We hit a real flat spot on Friday, the 4th of September. Swell drops to just 0.3ft, and the energy is practically gone at 2. Total write-off. That gap lasts a couple of days before things start to perk up again on Saturday, the 5th, with 4ft to 4ft swell returning.
Now, the standout window is the following week. Monday, the 7th of September, the swell starts to push up to 5ft, with a period of 8 seconds, pushing that combined energy up to 270. That's a proper step up in power. The wind is a moderate offshore from the ENE, keeping it clean. This is looking like the best bet of the whole forecast.
But the real highlight for me is the 10th of September, Thursday. We're looking at a 6ft swell from the ENE, period at 8 seconds, and the combined energy rockets up to 476. That's a lot of water moving. The morning is clean with a gentle offshore breeze. This is solid, powerful, expert-level surf. For the intermediate surfer, the 5ft to 5ft days on the 7th will be the sweet spot. Keep in mind this is a beach break, so with that much energy, it could get a bit raw, but for the crew who can handle it, Thursday the 10th is the session to aim for.
Los Pocitos is a fairly consistent spot, and the crowds are only sometimes an issue, so you'll likely find a peak to yourself if you're out early. The swell direction from the ENE is a good match for the break, and those offshore winds are going to be your best friend.
To wrap it up, the first week is small and clean, with a flat couple of days in the middle. The second week brings the real grunt, specifically the 7th for intermediates and the 10th for the experts. Go get it.
Rusty.
