The Lowdown
Hey gang, Rusty here.
Alright, let’s be honest. The next couple of weeks are looking like a real dry spell. We’ve got a persistent, weak, short-period ENE swell, and the combined energy readings are mostly in the weak to moderate low hundreds. Most days at Los Cocos, the beach and jetty zone, it’s just going to be a battle with cross-shore winds. You are looking at a 16-day window where the surf is effectively a no-go for 98% of the time. There are a couple of very brief moments when it might be less of a fight.
The water is a nice 82°F, about normal for this time of year.
For the entire first week, from Friday the 11th right through to the 19th, it’s a total loss. We’re looking at waves measuring 3–5ft from the ENE with a short, weak period of 6–7 seconds. The wind is a constant 9–12 mph cross-shore from the east, putting a nasty texture on everything. It’s just ugly.
There is one small break in the clouds on Sunday the 20th. For the morning at Los Cocos, the wind goes glassy with a light 3 mph offshore from the SE. The waves are small—just about 3ft from the ENE with that short 6-second period. It’s not good, but it might be the only time you can sit out there without getting windblown. The report calls it surfable but very ordinary.
We then drop right back into the cross-shore chop from Monday the 21st through the 24th. Small, weak, and messy.
Then we get a second, very similar window on Friday the 25th of September in the afternoon. The wind goes dead calm and glassy. The swell is still small, around 4ft from the ENE at 7 seconds. Once again, it’s just surfable but very ordinary. If you’re on a longboard, you might find a bump, but it’s a tough call.
The rest of the run up to Saturday the 26th is more of the same poor-quality cross-shore slop.
The honest truth is, there is nothing to get excited about. It’s a long fallow period. Don't rush out.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
