The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf over the next couple weeks.
Things start off a little slow, but we get a solid run of cleaner, bigger waves in the first week. The second week drops off into smaller, more average conditions. The standout stretch is definitely from Tuesday the 8th through Saturday the 12th.
Starting with Los Pocitos. Monday morning the 7th has surfable waves, but they’re nothing to get excited about – just 4ft from the ENE with a short period of 6 seconds and weak energy (97). The wind is light offshore and it’s clean early, but the waves are weak. Water temperature is 82°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The good stuff starts to show on Tuesday morning, the 8th. Swell builds to 5ft from the ENE, period picks up to 7 seconds, and energy hits moderate (229). A moderate offshore breeze keeps things clean. That trend holds through Wednesday and Thursday mornings, with waves around 5ft to 5ft, clean offshore winds, and moderate energy. Friday the 11th sees the swell reach 6ft in the morning (ENE, 8 seconds, energy 319) – this is the real deal. Saturday the 12th might be the best of the bunch: 6ft from the ENE, 7 second period, and a solid 363 energy. Light offshore winds mean clean, fun waves.
After that, the swell backs off. From Sunday the 13th onward, it’s mostly 3ft to 4ft, with short period and weak to moderate energy. The wind stays offshore through most of it, so the waves stay clean, but there’s no power behind them. The second week is pretty flat, with a lot of mornings seeing 3ft or less and energy dropping below 100. There’s a small bump on Tuesday the 22nd with 5ft and 186 energy, but it’s nothing special.
For the standout: Los Pocitos is your spot. It’s fairly consistent, exposed to the north, and the optimum swell is from the ENE, so it lines up well. Crowds can show up sometimes, so don’t be surprised if you’ve got company. The wave size stays under 8ft, so it’s not just for experts – solid intermediate conditions. Short period (mostly 6-8 seconds) means you won’t get those long groundswell lines, but the offshore winds will keep it glassy and fun.
If you want the best sessions, hit the mornings from Tuesday the 8th through Saturday the 12th. That’s where the magic is.
The second week is small and ordinary, but forecasts can change. For now, get out there on that first run.
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.
