The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Los Pocitos.
We’ve got a slow start here, so don’t walk away just yet. The first few days are pretty flat and not worth paddling out for. The real story picks up from Monday the 7th and runs through the middle of the month, with a solid window of fun, clean surf. The best of the bunch is shaping up for Saturday the 12th, so mark that one.
The water temperature is sitting at 83°F with an anomaly of just 0.5°F, so about as average as you’d expect for this time of year.
Los Pocitos is the only spot in the mix, and it’s fairly consistent, exposed, and handles a north swell well. The waiting game is on until Monday morning, September 7th, when the swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds (moderate energy at 203), and the wind is a gentle offshore breeze. That’s your first real chance for a session, and the waves will be clean.
Tuesday the 8th looks even better in the morning with 5ft from the ENE, period still at 7 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze. The combined energy is solid at 279. This is the kind of day where you’ll find some punchy, lined-up waves.
Friday the 11th brings another solid morning with 5ft ENE swell at 8 seconds and clean offshore winds. Energy is up at 272, and the longer period will give the waves a bit more shape.
But the standout, the one you wait for, is Saturday morning, September 12th. We’re looking at 6ft from the ENE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 412. That’s a serious push. The wind is glassy, dead calm from the SE at just 3 mph. That’s as clean as it gets. The swell is getting up there, so it’s more of an intermediate to advanced session, but the quality will be worth the effort. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get there early.
The following week settles down. From the 14th onwards, the swell drops back to 4ft to 4ft, still with mostly offshore winds, so there will be rideable waves, but nothing to get too excited about. The energy dips into the 100-170 range. By the 16th, we’re looking at small 3ft waves with glassy conditions, but it’s pretty ordinary. The last few days of the forecast are back to very small, weak surf.
So, bottom line: Monday the 7th through Tuesday the 8th is good, but Saturday the 12th is the true standout. Get on it.
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.
