The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at this stretch we’ve got coming up for Los Pocitos.

First thing you gotta know: the next few days are a bit of a slow burn. We’re not walking into a classic, but by the end of the week, we’ll be in some pretty fun little waves. The water temp is sitting right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

It kicks off Sunday the 6th with a sad little nothing. Don’t bother paddling out. Monday the 7th, we get some tiny 4ft to 4ft ENE swell creeping in, but it’s a short period 7-second wave, and the energy is only moderate (132 to 134). The wind is offshore though, so it’ll be clean even if it’s ordinary. That Tuesday the 8th is the first real standout. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, still short period, but the energy jumps to a solid moderate (286) and we’ve got a clean, steady offshore breeze. That’s your best bet early on for a fun, clean session with some push.

Wednesday the 9th drops back a touch, and the wind goes cross-offshore in the morning, so it’s a bit messy. Thursday the 10th is back to clean with light offshore winds and 5ft NE swell, but the energy is still moderate (211). By Friday the 11th, we see the biggest swell of the run so far at 6ft from the ENE, with a slightly longer 8-second period, and the energy is the strongest we’ll see at 353. That’s a solid, clean, moderate-sized day for the intermediate crew. A bit too punchy for beginners, but real fun for the rest of us.

The following weekend, Saturday the 12th, holds 6ft ENE swell with good offshore wind and energy in the 300s, so it’s still a very good option. The beginning of the second week, from Sunday the 13th through Wednesday the 16th, the swell fades quickly. Sunday the 13th is 5ft dropping to 4ft, and by Monday the 14th it’s down to 3ft and tiny. That Monday afternoon actually goes glassy and flat with a 0.3ft, 10-second swell. Not much doing.

The pattern picks back up Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, with 4ft to 5ft ENE swell, short period, and clean. The energy on Friday morning (235) is the best of that late week push. Saturday the 19th through Monday the 21st stay in the 4ft to 5ft range, all clean offshore winds, but nothing huge. The standout for the whole run is still Tuesday the 8th and Friday the 11th—those are the days to circle.

So, overall, we’ve got a solid week ahead with a few standout windows, then a drop, then a small resurgence. The best wave will be at Los Pocitos, with that consistent ENE swell and clean offshore winds. Crowds are possible here, so keep your eyes open.

Rusty out.

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.
