The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the Los Cocos area.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim stretch ahead. We're looking at a long, dry spell with practically nothing worth paddling out for. The next few days are a write-off, and the pattern just doesn't want to shift. We're talking about a solid 16-day gap with no real surf on offer, which is a tough beat for an exposed beach/jetty setup like this.
Things kick off from Thursday, August 27th, and it's a flat, messy story. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on from the ENE, which just chops everything up. Swell heights are tiny, sitting around 3ft to 4ft, but the real killer is the period – a weak, short-period 6 seconds. That's just windslop, not proper swell. The combined wave energy is weak, ranging from 98 to 137, which tells you there's no power behind it. The report even calls it "poor surf conditions" straight away, and that's the truth.
We get a tiny glimmer on Monday, August 31st, in the morning. For a moment, the wind goes glassy, with a light east breeze at 3 mph. The swell is still small, at 3ft from the NE, but the period is a weak 6 seconds so the energy is still low at 111. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and it's the only score above zero in the whole forecast. But don't get your hopes up – it's a fleeting moment of calm before the cross-shore chop returns that afternoon.
The rest of the run into September is just more of the same. The swell stays anemic, never really getting above 5ft, and that ENE wind direction just won't let up. The periods are stuck at 6 or 7 seconds, so there's no groundswell in sight. The combined energy hovers in the weak to low-moderate range, topping out at 202 on September 11th, but it's still accompanied by "marginal surf" conditions. For a beach/jetty, this kind of short-period, wind-affected slop is more interesting for the kite surfers than for anyone with a paddleboard.
The bottom line: there's nothing here. Not a single standout day. The best you can hope for is that Monday morning glass-off, but even then, the waves are just too weak and small to get excited about. This is a classic blank run for this area, and it's going to be a quiet couple of weeks.
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.
