The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you: it’s been a rough patch, and honestly, it’s going to stay that way for a while. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, cross-shore junk with barely any push. The swell energy is mostly in the low hundreds or even below, way too weak to get the blood pumping. The wind has been a constant problem too, never giving us that clean, offshore glass we all crave. So, don’t get your hopes up for anything magical on the horizon.
Right now, and for the next several days, it’s pretty grim. This Tuesday and Wednesday, we’ve got waves around 3.6ft to 4.9ft but they’re coming from the ENE with a short, crumbly 7-second period. The east wind is blowing at 9-12 mph, making it a proper cross-shore mess. The water’s still fine for this time of year, nothing weird going on with the temp. This is not the time to be a hero; it’s more of a “sit on the beach and watch the chop” kind of deal.
Thursday the 10th shows a tiny bit of hope with the swell shifting a touch more north, but it’s still a chore. Through the end of the first week and into the second week, the pattern doesn’t change. We’ve got a week or more of these weak pulses from the ENE and NE, with periods hovering between 6 and 8 seconds. The swell heights stay stubbornly between 2.9ft and 5.9ft, but it’s all that short-period wind swell, so it’s gutless and lumpy. The constant cross-shore breeze, even when light, just messes up any chance of a clean face. The energy is weak to moderate at best.
The one tiny glimmer in all this is the morning of Sunday the 20th. For a rare moment, the wind drops to nothing and we get some glassy conditions. There’s about 3.3ft of swell from the ENE, but with a short 6-second period, it’s not going to be a world-beater. It’s the only time the report says anything other than “poor,” so that’s your one chance to get a few soft, grovelly ones if you’re desperate.
So, to sum it up: there is nothing on the radar that stands out as a proper session for the next 16 days. The first real positive sign doesn’t even show up until Sunday the 20th, and even then, it’s marginal. We’re in a real lull here, folks. If you’ve got a kite, this stretch of shorebreak is going to be more interesting for you than for us paddle surfers. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, this is a “stay home and sort your fins” kind of fortnight.
Take it easy.

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.

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.
