The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Los Cocos over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 80°, which is right around average for this time of year. Not a shocker, just normal.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a pretty grim stretch. We’ve got a long dry spell before anything even remotely worth paddling out for shows up. From now through Saturday the 26th of July, it’s all poor surf conditions with cross-shore winds and chop. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 160 (160) at its best, and the swell direction is coming from the ENE, which is a bit off the optimum NNE for Los Cocos. The period is short too, around 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s just messy windswell.
There’s a potential bright spot, but it’s a small one. On Sunday morning the 26th of July, the wind swings around to a light SSE at 3 mph, giving us a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The swell is small though, only 3 ft from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy is a weak 96 (96). The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It’s a 1/10, so don’t get your hopes up. It’s better than the rest, but still a pretty average day for a beginner to intermediate.
The only other whisper of something is on Thursday the 30th of July. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 318 (318), which is moderate. But the wind is still a cross-shore from the E at 12 mph, creating a cross-chop. The wave comment is still "poor surf conditions". That’s a no-go for a clean session.
The rest of the run into early August is more of the same: small, short-period swell, cross-shore winds, and poor conditions. There’s no standout day, no clean glassy window, and the swell direction is consistently off the optimum. The crowds at Los Cocos are only "sometimes" an issue, but honestly, with this forecast, you won’t have to worry about company.
The best bet, if you’re desperate, is that Sunday morning the 26th of July. It’s the cleanest window we get, but tempered expectations. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for something better.
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.
