Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The outlook for Los Cocos over this 16-day run is a tough one—there are really no strong standouts. The first good moment doesn’t even show up until Thursday afternoon, the 9th of July.
Looking at the overall pattern, the water temp is sitting at 80°F around Los Cocos, which is right about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Now, for the first proper highlight. On Thursday afternoon, 9th July, Los Cocos (beach/jetty setup) gets a small bump—swell around 5ft coming from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds and the combined swell energy sits at (334). That’s moderate energy. What makes this one stand out is the wind swings cross-offshore, cleaning it right up. Expect clean faces and decent shape for an intermediate surfer. The swell is manageable, nothing too big, and the break is fairly consistent. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so keep an eye out.
Other than that Thursday afternoon window, the rest of the 16 days is a real mixed bag of poor surf conditions. We’ve got mostly cross-shore winds, often moderate breezes at 9 to 12 mph, creating a cross-chop. The swell stays small to modest, mostly 3ft to 5ft, with short periods under 8 seconds—so not much grunt. After that Thursday afternoon, you get a few marginal days around Sunday 12th and Wednesday 15th July, but honestly nothing to write home about.
From Monday 13th July onward, the surf quality drops off again with mostly poor conditions right through to the 21st of July. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations in the second week.
Bottom line: if you can get out on Thursday afternoon the 9th, that’s your best bet. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and check back later.
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.
