The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Los Pocitos has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty slow start. The surf is tiny and the conditions are just ordinary, so don't get too excited just yet. The water temp here is about 80°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Tuesday the 29th of July. We’ll start seeing some chest-high sets pushing in from the ENE, around 4 ft, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so the energy is only moderate (106). The wind is light and offshore though, so it’ll be clean. The pick of the early run looks like Thursday the 30th. By the afternoon, the swell ticks up to 6 ft from the ENE with an 8-second period, and the wave energy climbs into moderate territory (327). The wind is still a gentle offshore breeze, so expect some fun, clean waves. That good quality hangs into Friday the 31st of July too, with similar 6 ft ENE swell in the morning and energy at 310.
After that, we drop back into a long stretch of so-so, surfable but ordinary waves through the first week of August. Nothing really jumps out as a standout. On Tuesday the 4th of August, the morning bumps up to 5 ft from the ENE with moderate energy (223) and clean offshore wind, which is decent, but still not firing.
The best bet of the entire outlook looks like the back half of the second week. Sunday the 9th of August is looking promising, with a morning pulse of 5 ft ENE swell packing a solid 307 energy. That’s the highest combined energy in the whole run, and it’s coming with a moderate offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean. Monday the 10th of August holds that quality too, with 5 ft to 6 ft ENE swell and energy at 263, but the wind gets a bit breezier at 12-16 mph. Still, that Sunday and Monday morning are the ones to circle on the calendar.
Los Pocitos is a fairly consistent spot and the offshore winds are locked in for most of the run, so even the smaller days will be rideable. The biggest swells are still under 8 ft, so it’s not too hair-raising for a confident intermediate. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s some clean, fun surf on the horizon.
Stay stoked,
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.
