The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Los Pocitos has cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burner. We’ve got a stretch of small, average waves kicking things off – nothing to get too excited about for the first few days. The surf really finds its groove around Friday the 14th, with a nice uptick in size and energy that hangs on through the weekend into the start of the following week. The water temp is sitting about what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there. The standout window is Friday the 14th afternoon and all day Saturday the 15th – that’s your best bet. On Friday afternoon, the swell builds to 8 ft from ENE, and the combined energy is a solid 771 (moderate). That’s meaty, but here’s the catch: it’s predicted to be a little too big for this break, pushing into expert-only territory. If you’re experienced and hungry, go. Saturday is the true sweet spot: morning swell at 6 ft, ENE, energy at 493, with a gentle offshore breeze from the E at 9 mph. That’s clean, shoulder-high plus and punchy. Sunday the 16th stays fun with 5 ft swell and 330 energy, still offshores. Later in the second week, Monday the 17th sees a pulse of long-period groundswell (12 seconds) from the NE at 4 ft with 371 energy – better shaped waves, longer lulls, best if you’ve got some patience. Through the rest of that week and beyond, it fades back to ordinary, small, weak surf. The good news is this spot is fairly consistent, so even when it’s not firing, there’s usually something to paddle for, and the crowds are only sometimes a factor. Keep your eyes on Friday the 14th to Sunday the 16th – that’s the window.

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.
