The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead for Los Pocitos, and while it’s not going to blow your mind with size, there’s a decent run of clean, surfable conditions to keep you busy.

The overall pattern is consistent, moderate northeasterly swell with light to moderate offshore winds holding through most of the period. The water’s sitting at 82°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year – no nasty surprises there.

The first real standout is Sunday the 2nd of August. We’re looking at a 5 ft swell from the east-northeast with a gentle offshore breeze. The combined wave energy is moderate (228), and the surf is expected to be good conditions. It’s a great day for an intermediate surfer to get amongst it, and the wind will keep it clean. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here, so get in early.

From Sunday the 2nd, we roll into a long stretch of consistent, clean waves. The swell holds around 4 ft to 5 ft, with offshore winds from the east and east-northeast. The energy stays moderate, with values mostly between 134 and 251. The waves are a bit short-period (7 seconds), so it’s more of a wind swell than a groundswell, but it’s still fun and punchy on the bank.

If you’re looking for a true highlight, circle Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August. On the 6th, we’ve got 5 ft swell from the east-northeast, moderate offshore breeze, and good conditions. The energy is solid (244). On the 7th, it’s the same 5 ft swell, with a clean offshore breeze pushing 12 mph, and energy at 251. These are the best days of the whole run – solid, clean, and consistent.

The following week settles down a bit. The swell dips to 4 ft to 5 ft, conditions are still surfable, but the energy drops into the lower to moderate range (113 to 224). There’s a brief uptick on Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of August, with 5 ft to 5 ft swell and a bit more kick, especially on the 12th afternoon when the period stretches to 8 seconds and the energy hits 230. That’s a nice little pulse for the second week.

The tail end of the window, from the 13th to the 15th, is more of the same – clean, small, and surfable. Nothing epic, but you won’t be sitting on the beach bored.

So, the best of the best? Sunday the 2nd, and then Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th. That’s your window for the best waves over the next two weeks.

Stay salty,
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.
