The Lowdown

Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Los Cocos (Los-Cocos) over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this forecast is a tough one. The water’s sitting at about 81°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But the surf? It’s a long, frustrating wait for anything decent. The first few days are a write-off: Friday afternoon through to Saturday afternoon are all poor, with cross-shore winds and messy, short-period swell around 4 ft to 5 ft at 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak to moderate at best (291 down to 199). Not worth paddling out for.

The first real glimmer shows up on Sunday morning, the 16th of August. We’ve got a cleaner window with cross-offshore winds, a 5 ft NE swell at 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up to 405—moderate to strong. The waves should be clean and holding some shape. It’s not a monster, but for intermediate surfers, this is the standout of the whole run. After that, it’s back to the grind: Monday through Thursday are all poor, with weak, short-period swells (6–7 seconds) and cross-shore winds. The energy drops back to 60–106 range. The 17th and 18th are particularly weak.

There’s a gap of nothing worthwhile from Monday afternoon right through to the end of the third week. Then, on Tuesday the 25th, we get a marginal session in the afternoon with 4 ft NE swell at 7 seconds and energy up to 201—still cross-shore, but the wind is light, so it’s not completely hopeless. Wednesday the 26th morning brings a bit more size: 6 ft ENE swell at 8 seconds, energy hitting 353, but again, cross-shore breeze and only marginal conditions. Worth a look if you’re keen, but not a sure thing.

Finally, on Saturday the 29th of August, there’s another marginal window in the morning: 6 ft ENE swell at 7 seconds, energy blasting up to 533—strong energy—but the wind is still cross-shore. It’s inconsistent and the period is short, so it’ll be lumpy, but for the brave, there might be a few fun ones.

The bottom line: Sunday morning the 16th is your best bet—clean, solid energy, and decent shape. After that, it’s a long dry spell with only a couple of marginal days. If you’re patient, keep an eye on the 26th and 29th, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
