The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Los Pocitos over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. Thursday morning the 24th sees some small easterly swell, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. The wind is a moderate offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, which keeps things clean, but with wave heights around 4 ft and a short period of 7 seconds, the energy is just weak (combined energy of 138). The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there. This first stretch through Tuesday the 28th is mostly small and weak, with a real dud on Tuesday morning where the swell drops to almost nothing (0.7 ft and 8 seconds energy, combined energy of just 8). That’s a day to leave the board at home.

Then we get a bit of life. Wednesday the 29th sees a return to 4 ft swell from the ENE, still with a short 7-second period, but the offshore wind stays gentle, keeping the surface clean. The energy is still modest (138 to 142). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Now, the real standout in this 16-day window lands on Thursday the 30th. That’s the day. The swell bumps up to a solid 7 ft from the ENE, with the period stretching to 8 seconds, which is better. The combined energy jumps to 521 – that’s moderate to strong energy, finally some push in the water. The wind is a gentle offshore from the east at 9 mph, so the face will be clean and lined up. This is the best on offer for the whole period. For the intermediate surfer, this is a proper session. It’s a bit punchy for beginners (over 5 ft) but not so big to be intimidating. Expect some good, rippable waves.

The rest of the first week and into the second week settles back into a rhythm of 4 ft to 6 ft swell from the ENE, with periods mostly around 7 seconds. The wind stays offshore or cross-offshore, so conditions are generally clean. The combined energy sits in the 100 to 300 range, so moderate wave energy. The morning of Monday the 3rd of August and Tuesday the 4th of August both show a little bump in swell (5 ft and 6 ft) with cleaner offshore winds, making them decent options if you missed the big day on the 30th.

Crowds at Los Pocitos are a factor sometimes, so on the better days, you might find a few other heads in the water, but it’s not a zoo.

Overall, the pick of the entire forecast is Thursday the 30th of July. Put a ring around it. The rest of the window is consistent but unremarkable – small, clean, and surfable, but nothing that’ll get the heart pounding. The 28th of July is a write-off. Otherwise, you’ll find something to ride.

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.
