The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.
To be straight with you, the next two weeks aren't looking great. We've got a long stretch of onshore and cross-shore winds that are going to mess up the waves. The swell is there, but the conditions are just not cooperating. The real problem is that persistent easterly wind. It's a tough run.
The first real chance of anything decent, and I mean *anything*, is on the afternoon of Thursday, August 13th. We finally see a shift, with a cross-offshore wind from the ESE expected. The swell at Los Cocos (beach/jetty) will be around 5 feet from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 271 (moderate). It's not a world-beater, but it's the only window with clean conditions in the whole forecast. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Before that, it's a real grind. From Saturday, August 1st, right through to Thursday, August 13th, it's a solid block of poor surf. The winds are just relentless. The swell is mostly in the 4 to 5 foot range from the ENE, but it's all chopped up. The period is short, 7 seconds, so it's weak, disorganized windswell. The energy readings are mostly in the 100-200 range, which is weak to moderate, but it's all wasted.
For the first weekend, Saturday morning August 1st, there's a brief moment of glassy conditions at Los Cocos with a tiny 4 feet ENE swell, but the energy is low (138), and it's just not enough to get excited about. After that, it's all cross-shore wind and chop. Even the mornings are blown out.
The second week looks similar. We get a slight bump in swell on the 12th and 13th, with the swell period stretching to 8 seconds and the energy climbing into the 200s and 300s, but the wind is still a problem until that Thursday afternoon.
So, the standout, and really the only one, is that Thursday afternoon, August 13th. If you can get out, the conditions will be clean for the first time in ages. The swell is a manageable 5 feet, but it's still a short-period swell, so it won't have the grunt of a proper groundswell. It's your best shot, but it's a lone bright spot in a long, bleak run.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
