The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin' for Los Cocos. It's a beach and jetty setup, fairly consistent, and exposed to the swell.
Right off the bat, Los Cocos isn't giving us much to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 81°F which is about normal for this time of year. But the surf... man, it's a tough watch. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a struggle. The swell is coming in from the ENE almost the entire time, and that's about as far from the optimum NNE direction as you can get, so it's not really wrapping in well. The period is stuck on a short 7 seconds, giving us weak, crumbly windswell. The combined energy sits mostly in the 120 to 250 range, so we’re looking at weak to moderate energy at best.
The real killer is the wind. It’s cross-shore from the ENE or E nearly every single day, 6 to 16 mph, which is just putting a nasty cross-chop on the surface. The conditions are consistently described as "poor surf conditions."
Now, I gotta be honest with you, there's really no standout period here. The only glimmer of hope comes on Saturday morning, the 1st of August. We get a glassy morning with the wind dropping to zero, and the swell swings around to the NE at 4ft with a weak energy of 129. It’s surfable, and the glassy conditions will make it look clean, so it's your best bet, but it's nothing special – just ordinary waves.
After that, it's back to the same old story for the rest of the week and into the second week. The swell sticks around the 4ft to 5ft mark, but it's always cross-shore and chopped up. By the time we get to Friday the 14th of August, it’s still the same wind and poor surf with no sign of a clean-up. It's a long, blank run of average to poor conditions.
If you're desperate for a paddle, hit up Los Cocos on that Saturday morning, 1st of August. Otherwise, for the next couple of weeks, this stretch of coast is looking more like a kitesurfing zone than a surfers' paradise with that constant cross-shore wind and weak swell.
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.
