The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch over to the old-school numbers. This is Rusty, and I’ll give you the same rundown for Los Cocos in feet and miles.
The first two weeks are a real struggle. We’ve got small, short-period windswell from the NE and ENE, mostly running 3 to 5 feet, with a period of 6 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, choppy junk. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low to moderate range, between 59 and 207, so nothing to get excited about. The wind is cross-shore nearly all the time, from the E or ENE, sometimes blowing at 12 to 15 mph, and it’s gonna be bumpy. There’s a glassy moment on the morning of Monday, August 24th, but the swell is still tiny and the conditions are poor. It’s more of a kiteboarding scene than a surf session.
The water temp is 81°, which is right on the average for this time of year.
We get a little bit of hope right at the end. On Monday, September 1st, the morning swell hits 5 feet from the ENE, with a 7-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 244. The wind is still cross-shore, but it’s only a light breeze at 6 mph, so it’s cleaner. The forecast calls it “marginal,” but it’s the best on offer. Also, on Sunday, September 6th, the morning has a clean look with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE and a 3-foot swell. The energy is weak at 69, but that clean wind might make it worth a paddle.
The standout is that Monday, September 1st morning at Los Cocos. The swell is the biggest of the whole period at 5 feet, it’s a beach/jetty break that’s open to the NNE swell, and the wind is light. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only window that looks like a real surf. Expect the crowds to be “sometimes” there.
The rest of the time? It’s a long, flat, bumpy stretch. Don’t mark your calendar until the first week of September.
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.
