G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but the first few days are a bit of a slow burn with small, ordinary conditions. The real juice starts building from Thursday the 9th, and the standout window looks to be around Thursday the 9th through Saturday the 11th.
The first recommended surf is on Thursday afternoon, the 2nd of July, at Los Pocitos. It’s not much to write home about—5ft of short-period ENE swell, 7 seconds, with 9 mph easterly offshore wind keeping things clean. The combined swell energy is moderate at best (175). Water’s sitting at 80°, which is about average for the time of year. Crowds can pop up here sometimes. Honestly, these early days are pretty average, with the same story of small, weak ENE swell and not much push.
The pattern holds through to Thursday the 8th, with waves hovering around 3ft to 4ft, mostly 7-second period, and clean offshore winds. The combined energy stays weak to moderate, peaking at 209 on Wednesday afternoon. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
Then, from Thursday the 9th of July, things start to fire. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the ENE, period stretching to 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 345—that’s moderate but a real step up. Winds are solid offshore from the ENE at 9–12 mph, so it’s clean and lined up. This is the best run of the outlook. Friday the 10th is the pick of the bunch: 6ft ENE swell, 8-second period, and energy at 423, with 9 mph offshore breeze. Los Pocitos (Region_URL) will be offering proper, punchy waves that are still fine for intermediates, but that 6ft is getting into more serious territory. For Saturday the 11th, it holds at 5ft with similar conditions.
After that, from Sunday the 12th, the swell eases back to 4ft–5ft, and while the winds remain offshore, the energy drops and the consistency fades. The last standout worth chasing is Tuesday the 14th morning, with 6ft ENE swell, 8-second period, and clean offshore wind—energy at 302. From there, it’s a slow tail-off into smaller, weaker surf through the 16th and 17th.
So, to sum it up: early July is a write-off for anything special. The best bet is Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th at Los Pocitos—6ft of clean, offshore ENE swell with moderate energy. That’s the one to mark on your calendar.
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.
