The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day window for Los Cocos is a tough one. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap at the start where it’s just not worth paddling out. The first few days are plagued by cross-shore winds and weak, short-period windswell. It’s not until we get past the first week that we see a glimmer of something rideable, but even then, it’s far from classic.
The story really starts around Saturday, September 12th. After nearly a week of poor conditions, the swell finally bumps up a bit to 6ft from the ENE, with a combined energy reading of 400 – that’s moderate energy and a step up. The morning of Saturday, September 12th sees light cross-shore breezes, but the wave comment is “marginal.” This is the first real option, but it’s not clean. The afternoon gets a risk of thunderstorms and a bit more wind. The next morning, Sunday the 13th, the swell drops back a little and the moderate cross-shore chop makes it messy again.
The real standout, and the only time this forecast gets me excited, comes on Wednesday, September 16th. The morning has a light SSW cross-offshore breeze, making for clean conditions with 3ft of ENE swell. It’s not big, but it’s surfable and clean. Then, the afternoon of September 16th is the true gem: a glassy flat sea, zero wind, and 3ft of ENE swell. The combined energy is weak at 84, but when it’s glassy like that, you don’t need much push. The water temp is around 82°F, which is bang on average for this time of year. This is your window if you want smooth, user-friendly waves at Los Cocos. Keep in mind this is a beach/jetty setup, so with ENE swell, it'll be working alright.
After that, we slide back into mediocrity. The rest of the period through to Sunday, September 20th is mostly poor surf, with cross-shore winds and weak energy. The Sunday morning of the 20th gives another brief clean window with a light cross-offshore breeze and 3ft waves, but it’s very ordinary. You’ve got about a week of slim pickings after the 16th.
So, if you’re chasing something, your best bet is that glassy Wednesday afternoon on September 16th. It’s a quiet, clean session for those who don’t mind small waves. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have some company, but with those conditions, it’ll be worth it. For the rest of the month, I’d keep your expectations low. Sometimes the ocean just needs a reset.
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.
