The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for our local stretch.
Right off the bat, it’s a pretty grim outlook for the next week and a half. We’ve got a long stretch of mediocre to poor surf conditions lined up, with cross-shore winds messing up the surface and not much in the way of proper swell energy. The water temperature is sitting at 79.7°, which is about 1.6° cooler than usual for this time of year – nothing to write home about, just a touch on the average side.
From Monday the 10th right through to Thursday the 13th, it’s all small, weak, short-period windswell from the NE and ENE, with heights barely pushing 4.3 ft. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best, with values ranging from 79 to 152. The wind is a constant cross-shore, so expect bumpy, choppy lines. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.
Then we get a bit of a tease on Friday the 14th. The morning shows a jump in swell to 6.6 ft from the NE, with a longer period of 9 seconds and a solid combined energy of 626. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, and the report says "very good surf conditions" – clean. This is the only real standout in the whole 16-day window. Los Cocos is a beach/jetty setup, so that longer-period groundswell might make it a bit tricky, but with that light offshore wind, it’s the best it’s going to get. The afternoon, however, gets ruined by a moderate cross-shore, so that window is tight.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. From Saturday the 15th right through to Tuesday the 25th, we’re looking at a long run of poor surf. Swell stays small, period drops back to 6-8 seconds, and the combined energy hovers in the weak to moderate range. The wind remains a constant cross-shore, with occasional light breezes but never a clean offshore. It’s frustrating, but it’s the pattern we’re stuck in.
So, the one and only highlight is Friday morning, 14th August. Get on it if you can, because the rest of the forecast is a write-off. Crowds are possible at Los Cocos, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

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.
