The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one for us here at Los Cocos. The whole 16-day window looks pretty grim, to be honest. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands.
Right from the start, Wednesday the 12th of August, it’s all cross-shore wind and small, weak swell. The water is a warm 81°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s working. The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely registering, and it doesn’t get much better through the rest of the week. We’ve got a bit of a pulse coming in on Friday the 14th with swell building to 6ft, but the wind is a messy cross-shore at 12-15 mph, and the period is a short, choppy 8 seconds. The energy jumps up, but it’s all wind-slop. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddling one.
We’re looking at a solid stretch of "poor surf conditions" and "marginal" days right through until the middle of the second week. Sunday the 16th gives us a glimmer with a "marginal" tag, but the swell is still weak and the wind is wrong.
The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one, comes on the morning of Monday the 17th of August. The wind drops to nothing – glassy conditions with 0 mph wind from the ESE. That’s a beautiful thing. The swell is a modest 4ft from the NE, but the period stretches out to 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The combined energy is moderate. For a beach/jetty setup like Los Cocos, that glassy morning is your absolute best shot. It’s the one window of clean, rideable waves in the whole forecast. The afternoon goes back to being rubbish, so you’d need to be on it early.
Tuesday the 18th offers another chance with a cross-offshore wind and clean conditions, but the swell is still only 5ft and the period drops back to 7 seconds. It’s rideable, but nothing special.
After that, it’s a return to the same old story: persistent cross-shore winds, weak swell, and poor surf right through to the end of the forecast period on Thursday the 27th of August. The wave energy never gets going again. Honestly, it’s a blank run. For an area that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer. But hey, forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this poor for long.
Stay patient,
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.
