The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Los Cocos over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up – this is a tough stretch. The pattern is pretty stubborn: persistent cross-shore winds from the east and east-northeast, with only small, short-period swell. The water’s sitting at 82°, pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to even think about a paddle comes on Thursday, 10th September. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the northeast, but it’s short period at 7 seconds and the wind is still cross-shore. The energy is moderate (217), but the conditions are only marginal – you’d be out there for the exercise, not the glory. That’s the best on offer, and it’s not saying much.
From Friday 11th through to Saturday 19th September, it’s a long grind of poor surf. The swell bumps up a bit on Friday morning to 6ft (ENE, 7 secs) with moderate energy (310), but the cross-shore wind and chop make it a write-off. By Saturday 12th, it’s 6ft (ENE, 8 secs, energy 353), but again, the wind spoils it. For a beach/jetty setup like Los Cocos, that combo is more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle. The rest of that week is a mix of tiny swell and persistent cross-shore winds – just a blank run, really.
Then, look here – Sunday 20th September morning. The wind drops to glassy, dead calm. Swell is only 4ft from the ENE at 6 seconds, with weak energy (109). It’s surfable but very ordinary. Still, after two weeks of junk, that glassy morning is the standout. It’s a long way off, but if the forecast holds, it’s your best chance for a clean, if small, wave.
So, the honest truth: there’s nothing worth getting excited about until that Sunday 20th morning. The rest is a write-off. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
