The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf at Los Pocitos for the next couple weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but it gets real good.
Right now, on Wednesday the 29th, it’s flat. Not a thing to ride. The water’s at 82°, which is normal for this time of year.
The show starts on Thursday the 30th. A swell from the ENE comes in around 5 to 6 ft with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate, in the 249 to 302 range. The real beauty here is the wind – it’s offshore from the east at 12 mph, keeping things clean. Friday the 31st of July gets a little bigger, hitting nearly 6 ft in the morning, energy at 353, and still offshore. That’s your best bet for the first few days. It’s not too gnarly, so intermediates will have a blast.
Saturday the 1st of August goes glassy, but the swell drops to 4 ft. It’s just okay. Sunday the 2nd bounces back with 5 ft and clean offshore winds.
The whole first week, from August 4th through the 8th, stays consistent. Swell holds at 5 to 5 ft from the ENE, with offshore winds. The energy sits in the 200s. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s fun, clean surfing every day.
August 9th brings a lull, with waves dropping to 2 ft on Sunday morning and energy down to 87. Not your day.
Looking into the second week, the standout is around Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th. The swell bumps up to 5 to 5 ft again, the period stretches to 8 seconds, and the energy climbs back into the 260s. Wind is light and offshore. That’s a solid window, but it’s far out, so keep your fingers crossed. Crowds can pop up at Los Pocitos sometimes, but good conditions are worth a crowd.
The standout day? Hit Friday, July 31st, for the biggest, cleanest waves of the first week. That’s the one to circle.

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.
