G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in store for Los Cocos.
Not gonna sugarcoat it – the next couple of weeks look pretty rough. There’s swell, sure, but it’s almost all blown out by a constant cross-shore wind from the east, leaving the surface ragged with cross-chop. Wave energy sits in the moderate range (120 to 403) through most of the run, but it’s all short-period wind swell (6-8 seconds), so it’s lacking real power. Water temp is 27°, right about average for the time of year – nothing weird there.
From Wednesday 8 July all the way to Monday 20 July, it’s the same boring story: poor conditions, cross wind, no standout sessions. Swell height goes from 1.1m up to 1.9m, but with the wind angle all wrong, the shape is gonna be a mess. The break is a beach/jetty setup, and while it’s exposed, the wind and swell direction just aren’t clicking. The optimum swell direction is from the NNE, and we’re getting ENE and NE, so it’s off.
The only real window to get excited about is Tuesday 21 July morning. The wind drops to 5 km/h from the ESE, it goes glassy, and you’ve got 1.0m of NE swell. The energy is 107. It’s small, but it’s clean – that’s the best we’ve got. Wednesday 22 July morning also gets a look, with a light cross-offshore breeze (5 km/h, ESE) and 1.2m from ENE. Still small, but clean enough to have some fun on.
If you can, aim for that Tuesday 21 July morning session. That’s the one bright spot in an otherwise average 16 days. Everything else is a battle.
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.
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.
