The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s goin’ on at Los Cocos for the next couple weeks. I’ll be honest – it’s a quiet spell. For a beach/jetty spot like this, a blank run like this ain’t that weird when the swell and wind just don’t play ball. But don’t write it off; forecasts can change quick.
Right now through Thursday, September 11th, there’s nothin’ worth wettin’ a wetsuit for. The waves are puny – mostly around 3 ft to 4 ft – and that swell is comin’ from the ENE with a short, weak period of only 6 seconds. The energy is low, only touchin’ triple digits a few times (like 207 on Tuesday, September 1st), but the main problem is the wind. It’s cross or cross-on from the east or ENE at 6 to 9 mph, choppin’ up everythin’. The reports call it “poor surf conditions” day after day. Not a single session gets a score above zero. You’d just be fightin’ light cross-shore ripples and cross-chop for nothin’.
There’s one tiny flicker on Sunday, September 6th in the morning. The wind goes cross-off from the east at 6 mph, and the report says “clean.” But the swell is still only 3 ft from the NE with a 6-second period and weak energy (59). It’s a session for a longboard and low expectations – maybe a dawn patrol if you’re jonesin’.
The only change comes on Friday, September 11th. The swell finally bumps up to 5 ft to 5 ft from the ENE, with a slightly longer period of 7 to 8 seconds. The energy jumps to 240 and 310 – moderate, at least. The guidance says the best swell direction for Los Cocos is from the NNE, and this is ENE, so it’s a bit off. The real bummer? The wind is still cross from the ENE at 9 mph. It’s marked as “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” For a beach/jetty break, that wind is gonna wrinkle the waves up. If you’re an expert with a big board and low standards, you might find a few lumpy ones, but it’s not for beginners – anything over 5 ft can get heavy. Honestly, with that wind and short period, this setup looks more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So the standout? There ain’t one. The best on offer is that Sunday, September 6th dawn patrol, but that’s not sayin’ much. The rest of the 16-day run is a long, quiet gap. Keep an eye on the charts – sometimes these slow patches wake up outta nowhere.
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.
