The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking for your local stretch.
Honestly, the 16-day window is a tough one for this area. We’re looking at a long, frustrating run of poor conditions. The main issue is a persistent cross-shore wind, never backing off long enough to give us a clean window. The water temperature is sitting right around average for this time of year at 82°, so no surprises there.
From Saturday the 12th right through almost to the end of the run, it’s a story of messy, choppy surf. The swell is small, mostly around the 3ft to 5ft range, coming out of the ENE and NE, but the period is short—only 6 to 7 seconds. That’s weak, wind-driven stuff with combined swell energy readings that mostly hang in the double digits and low triple digits (68 to 163). The wind is a constant cross-shore from the east, which absolutely kills any chance of a clean face. Saturday the 12th afternoon is a good example: 4ft NE swell, but with a 12 mph cross-breeze and a risk of thunderstorms. Not worth paddling out for.
There is a brief, very slight glimmer on Wednesday the 23rd afternoon. For that window, the wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the ENE, and the comment calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The swell is still weak at 4ft from the ENE with a 6-second period, and the energy is moderate (117). It’s the only day that gets any kind of positive nod. It’s not a standout, but if you’re desperate, that afternoon is your only real chance for a clean, if small, surf.
The rest of the period, including all the way through to Sunday the 27th, is a washout. Consistent cross-winds and small, weak swell keep things messy. For the beach/jetty setup at Los Cocos, given the persistent cross-wind and poor quality, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, there you have it. A long gap of poor surf, with one small, glassy window on the 23rd afternoon that might just be surfable. Hang tight, and maybe clean the wax off your board for that one.
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.
