The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down.

We’ve got a slow start here – nothing really worth suiting up for until Sunday the 30th of August. A few empty days before that, so don’t rush.

The pick of the period is Sunday the 30th of August and into Monday the 31st, both at Los Pocitos. On the Sunday, it’s looking clean with a 5ft NE swell, blowing offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, and combined energy sitting at 245. That’s moderate energy, but with the right wind and direction, it should be lining up nicely for intermediates. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.

Monday the 31st brings a longer period – 12 seconds from the ENE – so the waves will have more push, even at 3ft. Energy jumps to 279, so you’ll feel that extra grunt. Still clean, with light offshore wind, but that longer period can make beach breaks a little straight, so it’s better if you’ve got a bank to work with.

Tuesday the 1st of September holds onto 5ft ENE swell with 241 energy and light offshore winds – still good, just not quite the same standout quality as the weekend.

From Wednesday the 2nd of September through the rest of the forecast, you’re looking at waves around 4ft to 5ft from the ENE, with mostly light offshore or glassy conditions. A couple of glassy mornings on the 5th and 6th with 4ft ENE swell and barely any wind – clean, but the energy drops a bit. By Monday the 7th of September, it’s down to 3ft NE swell, glassy, and fading fast.

Best bet: Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st. Expect some company if it’s firing, because this spot can get crowded.

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.
