Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles. We’ve got a long stretch of surfable waves coming up for Los Pocitos, with a steady east-northeast swell and clean conditions holding for the better part of two weeks.
The action begins on Friday, July 10. Swell comes in around 4 to 5 ft out of the ENE with a period of about 8 seconds and moderate energy in the water. Offshore breeze at about 12 mph keeps the faces clean. Water temp is 81°, right on average for this time of year.
The real standout is Saturday, July 11 into Sunday, July 12. Saturday morning offers 5 ft ENE swell, still with solid period and that offshore wind. By the afternoon, the swell pushes to 5 ft+, period still around 8 seconds, and combined energy climbs. Winds stay light offshore – this is as good as it gets for the weekend. Sunday holds at 4 to 5 ft, still clean. Saturday afternoon is the pick of this first week.
Monday, July 13 is a little more ordinary with shorter-period swell (7 seconds) and energy dropping, but still surfable. Tuesday, July 14 picks back into good territory with 5 ft ENE and offshore breezes.
On Wednesday, July 15, the swell bumps to nearly 6 ft out of the ENE with an 8-second period and significantly more energy behind it (combined energy in the 300s). Winds stay offshore and gentle. This one has some punch but isn’t overwhelming – a top contender for the period.
Moving into the second week, the pattern holds steady. Thursday, July 16 through Saturday, July 18 offers 5 ft ENE swells with periods around 7 seconds and moderate to gentle offshore winds. Energy stays moderate. Saturday afternoon (July 18) gets a bit smaller and ordinary, but the mornings deliver.
Sunday, July 19 starts with a cross-offshore wind and 4 to 5 ft swell – a bit messy. The afternoon cleans up with offshore wind and 5 ft surf. Monday and Tuesday, July 20–21, keep that 5 ft East-northeast swell and moderate offshore breeze.
From Wednesday, July 22, the swell backs down. Swell drops to 3 to 4 ft with shorter period and low energy through Thursday. Friday, July 24 is the weakest of the run with only 3 ft swell and very low energy. Saturday, July 25 shows signs of life again with 4 ft in the morning and a stronger 4 to 5 ft NE swell in the afternoon, clean and offshore.
Best bets: Saturday, July 11 afternoon and Wednesday, July 15. Clean, lined-up, consistent waves with good wind. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so plan accordingly. Los Pocitos is an exposed beach break that loves the east-northeast swell, and over these two weeks there’s a whole lot of good surf to be had.

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.
