The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what the next couple of weeks are looking like.
The water is warm, 83°F, and about average for the time of year. Nothing weird going on there.
We start off with nothing. Friday 4th and Saturday 5th September are flat – just a tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft bump from the east. Not even worth looking at. Sunday 6th September shows a little life: 3ft to 3ft from the ENE, but the period is short (6 seconds). The morning is glassy, but the energy is weak (65). You could get wet, but it’s not going to be a session to remember.
Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th September start to build. Swell hits 4ft to 5ft from the ENE, period up to 7 seconds, and the offshore winds are steady. The combined energy now reads 163 to 237 – that’s moderate and getting solid. Tuesday morning looks clean and punchy. This is where it turns on.
The real highlight is from Wednesday 9th September through to Saturday 12th September. Wednesday morning delivers 5ft of ENE swell with a 7-second period, moderate offshore breeze, and energy at 251. Thursday 10th holds that level, and Friday 11th gives 5ft again with consistent offshore E winds. But Saturday 12th September is the absolute standout: 5ft from the NE, period pushing 8 seconds, and light offshore wind. The energy hits 330 – the highest in the whole run. The waves will have real shape, power, and clean faces. For a strong intermediate, this is the day.
Los Pocitos is the spot. It’s a fairly consistent beach break, exposed to the north, and with the optimum swell coming from the north, the direction is perfect. The winds are offshore all week, and you might see a few others out there, but it’s nothing to stress about. The 5ft is solid but not intimidating – just right for the experienced intermediate.
After that, the swell drops. Sunday 13th through Tuesday 15th September sees size fall to 4ft-4ft, period shortens, and energy drops back to the weak-to-moderate range (79-173). Still surfable, still clean, but nothing special.
Then another pulse arrives late in the second week. Wednesday 16th September morning is glassy with 4ft from the ENE and energy back up to 118. Thursday 17th afternoon and Friday 18th morning push the swell to 5ft-5ft, period back to 7-8 seconds, and energy hits 224-274. The winds are light offshore. It’s not the standout of the first week, but it’s a solid runner. Saturday 19th September keeps it going with 5ft and clean conditions.
So the best of the lot is Saturday 12th September at Los Pocitos. The swell direction, size, period, and clean offshore wind all come together. That’s the one to lock in.
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.
