The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the 16-day run for Los Cocos, and – I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch.
The pattern for the whole period is dominated by a persistent cross-shore wind from the east and east-northeast. That’s blowing right across most of the swell, creating chop and generally messy conditions. The swell itself is there, but it’s short-period windswell – around 6 to 7 seconds – which doesn't pack much punch for a beach/jetty setup like this.
We start off from Sunday the 19th until Saturday the 26th of July with a solid block where nearly every session is marked as poor. The combined swell energy hangs around in the low to mid hundreds (202 down to 97), which tells you it’s just weak, choppy windswell. The swell heights are running from about 4 ft to 5 ft, but with that constant cross-shore breeze – 6 to 12 mph – it’s just a mess. Not worth paddling out.
The only tiny glimmer comes on Sunday the 26th of July in the afternoon. We get a little drop in the wind, going glassy, with the swell down to 3 ft, energy at 88. The notes say "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – and honestly, that’s the only session in the entire 16 days that even gets a score of 1. That’s your best shot, and it’s a long shot. It’ll be small, weak, and ultra-consistent in a way that makes it hard to find a proper wall.
After that, from Monday the 27th of July right through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s back to the same story: cross-shore wind, poor conditions, and combined swell energy dropping down into the double digits or low triple digits. Swell heights hover around 2 ft to 5 ft, but it’s all short-period junk.
So for a stand-out, there’s really no true highlight. If you’re desperate, that glassy window on Sunday afternoon the 26th is your only call. But honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer – constant cross-shore breeze and lumpy, weak swell. For the rest of us, it’s a blank run. It’s a bit normal for the area when the wind sets in like this, but forecasts can change.
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.
