The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a bummer. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but to be honest, there's not a single standout day in the whole run. The conditions are just fighting us every step of the way.
The main break on the cards is Pozuelo, a sandbar setup that's very consistent for waves, but the wind is the story here. Right from the start on Monday, 3rd August, we've got a persistent cross-on breeze from the East whipping up at 12 mph. This creates choppy, poor surf conditions. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit.
The wave energy fluctuates. We start off with moderate energy on Monday, and it actually builds as we go through the first week. By the 9th of August, the swell is pushing 5 ft from the ESE. But that wind just won't let up – still cross-on at 16 mph. The period is short, around 6-7 seconds, so it's just windswell, not the good stuff.
Heading into the second week, the swell size actually gets bigger. By the 14th of August, we're looking at a 7 ft swell from the East, with a period stretching to 8 seconds. But here's the kicker – the wind is still a fresh cross-on at 19 mph. For a beginner, that 7 ft is getting too big, and for the rest of us, that wind is just ruining what could be a fun wave. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
The 17th of August shows a little glimmer – the wind switches to a straight onshore for the afternoon, but the swell is dropping back to 5 ft and the quality is still poor. It's just not our window.
So, to sum it up: there's surf, but it's not surf you want to write home about. The consistency is there, but the quality is missing. A blank run like this, where the wind is just constantly bad, is more normal for this area in this season. We'll have to wait for the next forecast cycle and hope those winds swing around.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Pozuelo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pozuelo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pozuelo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pozuelo 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 (Pozuelo) 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 Pozuelo 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.
