The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles.
Water temp is about 83°, right where it should be for this time of year – nothing unusual.
The first few days are pretty flat and nothing special. Tuesday morning, August 4th, you’ve got clean 4ft waves from the ENE, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (147). Surfable, but not worth rushing out for. That continues through the week – small, short-period, always clean with offshore wind, but no real power.
The first real standout comes on Friday, August 7th. Swell jumps to 6ft from the ENE, still short period at 7 seconds, but the energy climbs into the moderate range (305). Offshore winds all day, so it’s clean. That’s the first day I’d make a point of getting out to Los Pocitos. It’s fairly consistent, and crowds are only sometimes a problem, so you’ll get waves.
Saturday the 8th drops off a little, but from Thursday, August 13th, the swell builds again. The best of the bunch is Saturday, August 15th. Swell hits 6ft from the ENE, period stretches to 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 415 – moderate wave energy with some proper push. Winds are offshore, so the surface will be glassy. That Saturday morning into the afternoon is the best of the whole 16 days. The short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy, but for a point break, it’s going to be a blast.
Sunday the 16th holds similar size, and Monday the 17th stays solid. The second week keeps delivering clean, offshore conditions with 5ft to 6ft waves, consistent energy, and that ENE direction that works so well here. It’s not a long-period groundswell, but for a long stretch of clean, rideable surf, you really can’t ask for much more.
If you can only get out once, make it Saturday, August 15th. That’s the day. Clean, punchy, and consistent. The rest of the week is good too, but that Saturday is the gem.
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.
Los Pocitos is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Maiquetia. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Maiquetia. Maiquetia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
