The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch of coast is looking pretty average for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one decent window, but for the most part, you’ll be battling cross-shore winds and short-period slop. Water temp at Los Cocos is sitting at 81°, which is right on the money for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a hood.

The good news is that Sunday the 16th is the standout. The morning might have a rumble of a storm around, but the wind goes light and cross-offshore, cleaning up the 4ft of northeast swell. The energy jumps up to 380, which is a solid step up from the weak junk we’ve had. It’s still a short-period 9-second swell, so it won’t have the punch of a proper groundswell, but it’ll be the cleanest waves on offer. Los Cocos is a beach/jetty setup, fairly consistent, and it handles this size okay. The northeastern direction is spot on for the jetty, and the light wind is the big win here. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the pick of the fortnight. The afternoon of Sunday the 16th sees the swell bump up a touch to 5ft and the energy rises to 446, but the wind swings back to cross-shore and it gets a bit more jumbled. Still, the morning window is your best bet.

Before that, Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th are a write-off. Waves are there, around 5ft to 6ft, but they’re period 8 seconds, cross-shore blown, and the energy is weak to moderate at best—213 on Saturday. The forecast just calls it poor surf conditions, and I’d have to agree. Not worth paddling out for.

After that Sunday window, we drop back into the doldrums. Monday the 17th has a little bit of energy with a 226 reading in the morning, but the swell’s down to 5ft, period drops to 7 seconds, and the wind is cross again. It’s marginal at best. From Tuesday the 18th through Saturday the 22nd, it’s a long, flat spell. Swell heights are hovering around 3ft to 4ft, periods are 6 seconds, and the energy readings are in the low double digits—80, 85, 92. That’s weak, disorganised junk. There’s just nothing for a surfer to get excited about. Think about doing something else with your time, or just enjoy a beach day.

There’s a little blip on Sunday the 23rd when the swell tries to pick up to 5ft and the energy gets back to 198, but the direction is a cross-shore onshore mess with a 7-second period. It’s still poor. That doesn’t last either, and we sink back to the low-energy dribble from Monday the 24th to Friday the 28th, with readings mostly under 101.

The last chance comes on Wednesday the 26th. The morning shows a 4ft ENE swell with energy at 242, but it’s a cross-shore breeze and a 7-second period, so it’s only marginal. The afternoon picks up slightly to 5ft, but same story. Honestly, it’s nothing to plan your week around. The following days, the 27th to the 29th, fade back into the poor-to-marginal category. There’s a little push to 4ft on Saturday the 29th with 135 energy, but it’s still cross-shore and short-period.

So, the long and short of it is: get out there on Sunday morning, the 16th, if you can. That’s it. A week later, Wednesday the 26th might give you a few crumbly ones if you’re desperate, but don’t hold your breath. It’s a classic run of trade-wind slop, and the only good window is that one clean morning. The rest is for the kites, not the boards.

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.
