The Lowdown

Alright, folks, let's talk waves for Los Pocitos. It's a bit of a mixed bag coming up, but there's something to look for if you're patient. The water's around 82°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

For the first few days, we're in for some small stuff. We're talking thigh to waist-high waves, around 3 to 4 feet, with a short-period windswell. The wind is blowing offshore from the east-northeast, so it'll be glassy and clean, but there isn't much power behind it. It's rideable, but you'll be doing a lot of paddling for not much reward. This small surf sticks around through the 6th. A couple of afternoons might see a thunderstorm roll through, but the wind stays favorable.

Now, things pick up a little around the 7th. We see the waves bump up to about 5 to 6 feet, and there's more energy in the water. The wind's still offshore, so it should be pretty clean. It's not going to be a classic, but it's the first real push of the window.

Then we hit a bit of a flat spot. The swell backs off, and we even get nothing on the afternoon of the 8th. So be prepared for a few days of small, weak waves. Don't stress about it, this is just a pause before the main event.

Here's where it gets good. Around the 13th and 14th, the swell really starts to fill in. We see wave heights pushing up to 6 feet, and the period starts to lengthen. By the afternoon of the 14th, we've got a swell from the NE with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy jumps way up – the best of the whole forecast. This is the standout window.

The morning of the 15th still has that 6-foot swell and solid energy. With the clean, offshore wind, this is your best bet for scoring some proper waves. It's not huge, but it's got some push. This is when you want to be in the water. Just keep in mind, a longer period like that can make a beach break shut down a bit, so pick your waves carefully.

After that, it fades. The 16th and 17th see the swell drop back to 4 feet, and then down to about 3 feet, with the energy weakening fast. The offshore wind keeps things clean, but the power is gone. We're back to small, soft lines.

So, bottom line: your best days are Thursday and Friday, the 14th and 15th. That's where the size and the punch are. The rest of the time, it’s small and clean, but nothing to write home about. Los Pocitos is fairly consistent, so even that flat spell on the 8th shouldn't last long.

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.
