The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking for Los Cocos.
Honestly, it's a grim 16-day stretch. The whole pattern is locked in with a persistent east-northeast breeze that's trash for the surf quality. The swell shows up, but the wind just ruins it.
We kick off on July 29th with a small 0.9m swell, but it's short-period junk at 6 seconds from the ENE. The wind is cross-shore, the energy is weak at 65, and there's a risk of thunderstorms. It's a washout. This pattern of poor conditions just keeps rolling. Through the end of July, the swell actually builds to 1.7m, with energy hitting 310 on the morning of the 31st, but that easterly wind cuts it to pieces. It's all marked as poor surf.
The only little window is on the morning of August 1st. The wind goes totally glassy. You've got a modest 1ft wave from the NE with 126 energy. It's ordinary, nothing to write home about, but it is clean. That's about the only time you could get a decent paddle. The afternoon stays glassy, too, but again, it's "surfable but very ordinary."
After that one Saturday, we're straight back into the cross-shore wind nightmare. From August 2nd all the way to the 13th, it's a blur of poor to marginal surf. The swell sticks around, consistently 1ft to 2ft, with moderate to strong energy, but that easterly wind never lets up. By the 12th and 13th of August, the period stretches a bit to 8 seconds and the energy is strong (264), but the call is still "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." It's a tough beat.
So there are no real standouts. The best you get is that glassy Saturday, August 1st. It won't be big, but it'll be clean. The water is warm and pretty normal for this time of year. The crowds can show up here sometimes, so on that clean day, expect a few locals out.
With that wind staying strong from the east on a beach/jetty setup, this whole window might honestly be better for kite surfing than a paddle. It's just not shaping up for us.
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.
