The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Los Cocos.
Well, I gotta be honest with you, this 16-day stretch is looking like a real flat spell for Los Cocos. The wave energy is sorely lacking, and every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. We’re looking at a two-week-plus gap here with no real surf to get excited about. The swell is coming from the ENE, but it’s short-period stuff, mostly around 6 to 7 seconds, which means it’s just windswell – no push, no power. The winds are cross-shore or gently cross-shore the whole time, so it’s not even clean, it’s just choppy and messy.
From Wednesday the 15th right through to Wednesday the 30th of July, it’s the same story. Wave heights hover between 2 ft and 5 ft, but the combined energy of all swells directed here is weak to moderate at best, often in the low double digits or just over 100, and occasionally touching 256 (moderate wave energy). Because the swell is so short-period and weak, even when it’s 5 ft, it’s just a lumpy, bumpy mess. The water temperature anomaly doesn’t have a label here, so no call on that.
There is no standout day. Honestly, nothing is worth paddling out for. The only break on the radar is Los Cocos, a beach/jetty setup that’s fairly consistent, but with this forecast, it’s not breaking with any quality. The optimum swell direction is NNE, but we’re getting ENE, and the wind is never offshore. It’s a cross-shore breeze all day, every day, which just adds to the chop. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but with conditions this poor, I wouldn’t worry about it.
If you’re desperate, the 2 ft to 4 ft days toward the end of the month are the smallest, but they’re still poor. The setup here is a beach/jetty, so with the short-period, onshore wind and weak energy, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. I’d wait for a better forecast.
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.
