The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the forecast for Los Cocos. It’s a bit of a grim run ahead, to be honest. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for the time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re sitting there waiting. The problem is, for the next week and a half, there’s nothing on offer that’s any good.
Right from Sunday the 9th through to Thursday the 15th, it’s a write-off. The winds are persistent cross-shore from the east or east-northeast, gusting between 6 and 12 mph, and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny, with heights mostly between 3 ft and 5 ft, and the period is a short 6 to 8 seconds, which just means weak, messy, closeout slop. The combined wave energy (68 to 268) is weak to moderate, but it’s all cross-chop and no power.
There’s a bit of a pulse that shows up on Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th. On Saturday morning the swell bumps to 7 ft from the NE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 678. The wind is almost glassy out of the ENE at only 3 mph, giving us light cross-shore ripples. That one is a marginal call – a real “maybe” if the tide lines up – but it would be the standout of the entire 16-day window. For Sunday the 16th, the swell holds at 5 ft from the NE (8 secs, 326 energy) but the wind picks back up to 12 mph cross-shore, so it’s back to poor conditions.
After that, from Monday the 17th right through to Monday the 24th, it’s back to the same script: weak, cross-shore wind, and poor surf with little energy (52 to 109). There’s even a 2 ft day in there.
So, here’s the bottom line: If you’re desperate, Saturday morning the 15th is the only tiny window of possibility, and even then it’s marginal. The rest of the 16 days is a complete blank for quality waves. It’s a long stretch of nothing, but in this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s looking like a kite surfer’s week more than a paddler’s.
Stay tuned, 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.
