The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Los Cocos is serving up over the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The whole 16-day window is one long stretch of poor surf conditions. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem, just a steady stream of cross-shore winds and choppy, messy waves. The swell sticks to a short-period (6–8 seconds) ENE to NE direction, and the winds never swing offshore – it’s cross-shore the whole way, which is a real killer for quality. The combined swell energy starts weak, around 59, climbs to moderate territory (127–188) through the first week, then pushes into strong range by the second weekend, hitting 441 by Wednesday 19 August. But none of that matters when the wind and chop are working against you.

The water’s sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year, with a small anomaly of 0.4° – nothing unusual. For a beach-and-jetty setup like Los Cocos, the optimum swell direction is NNE, and we’re seeing ENE and NE instead, so the swell isn’t hitting the break at its best angle. With the swell staying under 5 ft for most of the run – only pushing 6 ft on the 15th and 19th – it’s not too big for beginners, but the constant cross-chop makes it ugly for everyone. Honestly, with those winds and poor surf quality marked across every session, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The first few days (5th–6th August) are tiny and weak, then it builds slightly but never cleans up. There’s a brief peak in energy around the 14th–16th (291–428) and again on the 19th (441), but with cross-shore winds and short-period swell, the waves will be bumpy and sectiony. No break here gets a recommendation – the score is zero across the board. So, the outlook is simple: there’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. Los Cocos can be inconsistent at the best of times, and this blank run, while frustrating, is not unusual for the area. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but for now, leave the board at home.

Rusty.

Information about the Los Cocos Surf forecast

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