The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Los Cocos.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. This 16-day window is a pretty grim one for paddle surfing. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 7 days of poor surf conditions from July 20th right through to July 26th. The wind is a constant cross-shore from the east, mostly a gentle breeze at 9 mph, which is just putting a nasty cross-chop on everything. The swell is a weak, short-period windswell – around 4ft to 5ft from the ENE with a pitiful 6 to 7 second period. That combined energy of all swells directed here is just registering in the moderate range, but it feels weak (values between 113 and 198). It’s the kind of lumpy, messy, un-rideable junk that’ll have you sitting on the beach watching the whitecaps. There’s no standout here.
The only glimmer of hope in this whole forecast is Monday morning, July 27th. The wind drops to zero – glassy conditions. The swell drops to 3ft from the ENE, with a 7-second period. The combined energy is a weak 86. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the most honest thing I’ve seen. It’s not a surf, it’s a paddle. It’s a consolation prize for a week of rotten weather. This is a beach/jetty setup, so it’s exposed, and it’s rated as “fairly consistent,” but this swell is barely there. Crowds are possible, but honestly, I doubt anyone will be out.
After that tease, it’s back to the same old story. From July 28th all the way to August 4th, we’re right back to poor surf conditions. Cross-shore wind, weak swells, and the same old cross-chop. The swell is generally 4ft to 5ft, but the energy stays weak (88 to 180). The wind is still messing it up. There is no second week standout. It’s a blank run.
So, to sum it up: don’t get your hopes up. If you’re desperate for a splash on Monday the 27th morning, you might find a tiny, clean ankle-snapper. Otherwise, the surf is a no-go for the foreseeable future. For kite surfing, with that consistent cross-shore wind, it might look more interesting than paddle surfing, but for us wave hunters, it’s a long wait.
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.
