The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way at Los Pocitos, kicking off Thursday morning and running all the way through, with only a few quieter days mixed in. The water’s sitting at a warm 82°, right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The opening session Thursday morning has clean 5ft waves from the ENE with a moderate offshore breeze. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit of a windswell, but it’ll be fun and punchy. The energy is moderate (249). Thursday afternoon sees a similar 6ft with a gentler offshore, still clean. Friday keeps the same vibe, 6ft in the morning, 5ft in the afternoon, both with offshore wind and a little more period reaching 8 seconds. The energy bumps up to 302. This is consistent, user-friendly surf.
Now, Saturday morning 1st August is a standout window. The swell drops to 4ft from the NE, but the wind goes glassy. That’s the magic word. For a break that’s fairly consistent, you don’t often get that combo. The waves will be small, for sure, but silky smooth. Energy is weak (126). It’s perfect for a longboard or a funboard. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.
Sunday 2nd August picks up again with 4ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, both clean with offshore breezes. The run continues strong through the first week, with most days offering 5ft to 6ft from the ENE, all with offshore wind. The energy stays moderate, climbing to 256 by Friday 7th August. For a spot that’s exposed to the north, this ENE swell is right in the slot.
The best of the whole outlook, though, is shaping up for Wednesday 12th August. We’re looking at 6ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds, pushed by a moderate offshore breeze. The energy kicks up to a strong 419. That’s proper wave energy. It’s not too big for experienced intermediates, but beginners might find it a handful. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Thursday 13th August holds similar size with 6ft and energy of 353.
The run starts to fade a little from Friday 14th August, with 4ft and lower energy, but still rideable. So overall, you’ve got a solid two weeks with only a few smaller days mixed in. The standout is the glassy Saturday 1st August, and the bigger, more powerful Wednesday 12th August. Get amongst it.
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.
