The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is a tough one for decent waves around Los Cocos. There’s a long dry spell to kick things off, with nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for until Friday the 14th of August. From there, we get a couple of days of hope, but then it fades again.
The water temp is sittin’ around 80°, which is right on the money for this time of year – nothin’ unusual there, just your standard warm tropical bath.
First real chance of a session comes on Friday morning, the 14th of August. We’ve got a NE swell comin’ in at 5ft with an 8-second period, and the wind is light from the E, almost glassy, makin’ it clean. The combined energy is pumpin’ at 314 (moderate wave energy). It’s not huge, but it’s the best lookin’ morning of the whole run. Los Cocos is a beach/jetty setup, and it’s fairly consistent, so you won’t be waitin’ forever. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so get in early. The swell direction from the NE is a solid match for the optimum.
Friday afternoon gets a bit messy – the wind picks up to 12 mph from the E, makin’ it cross and choppy, with swell hittin’ 6ft but the quality drops right off.
Saturday the 15th of August has a similar story. Mornin’ brings 6ft from the ENE with cross winds at 12 mph – it’s not gonna be pretty, just a lumpy, marginal session. The energy is high at 504 (strong wave energy), but the wind is ruinin’ it. Afternoon is even worse, with the swell droppin’ and the wind stayin’ messy.
After that, we’re back to a whole lot of nothin’. From Sunday the 16th right through to the end of the period, the wind is mostly cross-shore, the swell stays small and weak, and the comments keep sayin’ poor surf conditions. There’s a little moment on Tuesday the 18th of August where the wind goes glassy in the morning with a 4ft NE swell, but the energy is only 163 (weak to moderate) and the comments call it “surfable but very ordinary.” Not a standout by any stretch.
One blip to watch is Saturday the 22nd of August – mornin’ has a light E wind, clean, with a 4ft ENE swell. Energy is 116 (weak to moderate). It’s surfable, but it’s nothin’ to write home about.
Best on offer: Friday the 14th of August, morning session at Los Cocos. That’s your window. Get it while it’s clean.
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.
