The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'll be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is looking pretty grim for a solid stretch. For the most part, we're staring at a run of cross-shore winds and messy conditions. The swell is around, but it's just not coming together with the wind. We're looking at a long gap of several days with no real recommendation, starting from now. The first real glimmer of anything surfable doesn't show up until the morning of Sunday, July 26th.
Sunday, July 26th is the one day that might just be worth a paddle. The wind is set to go glassy, with a light 3 mph breeze from the south. That’s a major positive, as it will result in clean surf. The waves will be small, coming from the northeast at 3 ft, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak at 41. Let's be real, it's not going to be epic, but it's the only window where the conditions are even close to ordinary. The water temperature is 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick wetsuit.
After that brief moment of hope, it's back to the same old story. The rest of the week and into the first week of August is dominated by easterly cross-shore winds, a constant risk of thunderstorms, and poor surf conditions. The swell sticks around the 3 ft to 6 ft range, but with that cross-chop, it's just not going to be pretty. There's no standout here, nothing to get excited about. The crowds at Los Cocos are sometimes an issue, but with this kind of forecast, I doubt many will be bothered.
The long-range stuff, from the end of July into early August, shows a slight bump in size, with Thursday, July 30th seeing a 6 ft swell from the ENE, but it's still marred by a moderate cross-shore breeze. The combined energy gets up to 345 (moderate), but it's all for nothing with the wind. This is one of those times where the surf just isn't cooperating. Look, it's a fairly consistent spot, so it tends not to stay poor for long, but this run is a reality check. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, don't sell your board.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
