Los Pocitos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Howdy, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles this time.

So, not a whole lot to get excited about for the next couple of weeks, but let's break down what we've got.

The action starts Sunday the 19th of July at Los Pocitos. We're looking at small, clean waves with offshore winds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 207, so there's a little bit of push. Water temp is 81°, which is right where it should be for this time of year – nothing wild there.

The best window looks to be Monday the 20th of July. Swell comes up to about 6ft from the ENE with that gentle offshore breeze keeping things tidy. It's an intermediate break and fairly consistent, so it'll be your best chance at something half decent. The swell period is short at 7 seconds and the energy is moderate (271). Don't expect perfection, but it's the highlight.

From Tuesday the 21st, we drop back into smaller, more ordinary surf. Swell runs between 3ft and 4ft, winds stay offshore but the quality fades. The combined energy sits in the 100s, so it's weak. This pattern of small, short-period ENE swell and average conditions drags on through the end of July and into early August. There's always a risk of storms overhead too.

Around Saturday the 1st of August, the morning could be worth a quick paddle with a light offshore breeze and 4ft NE swell, but the energy is only 109 – very weak. By Sunday the 2nd of August, you’ll see a morning pulse of 4ft and a moderate 12 mph offshore wind, but it dies off completely in the afternoon to a pathetic 0.7ft and cross-offshore wind. Don't bother.

To sum it up, your one standout is Monday the 20th of July at Los Pocitos. It’ll be the biggest wave day of the fortnight at 6ft from the ENE with clean, glassy conditions and moderate energy. Crowds can happen now and then, so time it right.

Stay tuned, things can always turn around.

Rusty.
