Table - best surf conditions forecast for Los Cocos over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you – this 16-day window for Los Cocos is a tough one. I’ve looked over the numbers, and truth be told, there isn’t a single proper surf day on offer. The whole stretch from Wednesday 8 July right through to Thursday 23 July is riddled with poor surf conditions. That’s more than two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for.
The swell is there – mostly 4 ft to 6 ft from the ENE, with combined energy ranging from weak 100 (at the tail end) up to moderate 392 on Wednesday 15 July. But the wind is the killer. Every session shows a cross-shore breeze from the east or east-northeast, blowing 6 to 12 mph. That’s creating a nasty cross-chop on the surface. The period is short too – just 6 to 8 seconds – so the waves are weak and lumpy, no proper shape. A few afternoons get labelled “marginal” with a score of 1, but even then the wind is still cross-shore and the surf remains messy.
Los Cocos is a beach/jetty setup that needs clean conditions to shine. The optimum swell direction is NNE, but we’re getting ENE – not ideal. The water temperature is about average for the time of year; no anomaly noted. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to waste the petrol. If the wind ever swings offshore, things could change fast, but as it stands, this stretch is a write-off. Hang in there, check back later.

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.
Los Cocos is 0 km (0 miles) from Caraballeda. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Caraballeda. Caraballeda has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
