The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Los Pocitos.

Alright, so we've got a solid stretch of waves lining up for Los Pocitos, starting this Friday afternoon and running through a good chunk of the next week. It's not going to be mind-blowing epicness, but it’s a consistent run of clean, surfable waves with a nice offshore bias. The water's sitting right on the money for this time of year, about 81°F, so no surprises there.

The real standout is this Sunday. The wind is forecast to go glassy in the morning, with a 5ft swell out of the NE. That's a recipe for some of the best you'll see all week. The energy picks up to a solid moderate level, and it's going to be smooth. Sunday afternoon looks great too, with a gentle offshore breeze and a bit more size at 6ft from the NE. That's a serious fun window.

Friday and Saturday offer a solid warm-up. Friday afternoon sees 5ft from the ENE with a nice offshore breeze, so it’s clean from the get-go. The swell is a little short-period at 8 seconds, so it won't be the most powerful, but it'll be plenty fun. Saturday morning has a smaller 5ft swell from the NE with a light cross-off breeze, again clean.

We get a bit of a drop-off early next week, Monday and Tuesday, with the swell slipping down to the 3ft to 3ft range. The wind stays offshore, but the wave energy is weak, and the period drops to 6 or 7 seconds. It's surfable, but it'll be a bit of a grovel.

Then, hold on, because things get interesting again. That Wednesday, August 26, is another one to circle. We see a clean 6ft swell from the ENE with a light offshore breeze, and the energy jumps back up to moderate. That's a good, punchy day for anyone who can handle it. The waves are a bit more powerful there.

After that, the second week sees a bit of a plateau. The swell holds around 4ft to 5ft from the ENE, and the wind stays mostly offshore. It's a consistent run of clean, waist-to-chest high waves, but nothing is screaming "standout" like that Sunday or the Wednesday. The energy levels are moderate, so it's consistent and fun, but not the highlight of the forecast. There’s a bit of a gap on the 28th where the conditions look a bit poor, but the surrounding days are still surfable.

So, in short: get out for the glassy Sunday morning for the best chance of perfection, and keep an eye on that Wednesday, August 26, for a shot at some size with good wind. The rest of the run is steady, clean, and rewarding for the intermediate crew.

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.
