The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. For the entire 16-day window, the surf at Los Cocos is constantly getting knocked around by cross-shore winds. The swell is coming in from the ENE and NE, mostly hanging around the 4ft to 4ft mark, but it’s all short-period windswell with periods of just 6 or 7 seconds. That means weak, messy waves with no real push. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate – reading between 100 and 233 (moderate) for most of the run, but it never translates into decent surf because the wind is always from the wrong angle.
There’s no standout period. The water’s sitting at 81° which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The crowds at Los Cocos can be around sometimes, but with conditions this average, I’d be surprised if many are out.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best you’ll see is a slight bump in size on the 30th of August with a 5ft swell and energy hitting 233, but it’s still cross-shore and scratchy. The same goes for the 3rd of September and the 6th through the 8th – those days see the swell push up to 6ft and energy climbing into the 300s (moderate). But again, the wind stays cross-shore, so it’s gonna be a chop-fest. Not really worth getting excited about.
The truth is, there’s no clean, glassy morning in the whole forecast. Every single session has that cross-wind ripple or chop. For a beach/jetty setup like Los Cocos, that’s a dealbreaker. If you’ve got a kite, this might be more interesting than a surfboard, because the wind is consistent, but for us wave-hunters, it’s a lean run.
Stay patient. Forecasts can change, and it never stays this poor for long. Keep an eye on the sky.

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.
