Table - best surf conditions forecast for Los Cocos over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window for Los Cocos is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a run of small, weak, and choppy conditions that just won’t let up. There’s a solid gap of poor surf from the start right through to the end with no real standout days to get excited about.
The first sign of any surf comes in on Saturday 11 July morning, but it’s a letdown. We’re seeing a 4ft swell from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is cross-shore from the ENE at 12 mph, and the combined energy is only moderate (178). The water temp is a pretty normal 81°F, about average for the time of year. But honestly, the wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” It’s a mess of cross-chop and no real push.
The pattern doesn’t improve. Through Sunday 12 July and into Monday 13 July, the swell stays small, between 4ft and 5ft, always with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind remains cross-shore, and the energy stays weak to moderate (112 to 229). It’s just not worth paddling out for.
By Wednesday 15 July, the swell pushes up to 5ft, but the period is still short at 7 seconds and the wind is a moderate cross-shore breeze. The energy hits 235, but all that means is a bit more bump and chop. Not clean.
The second week looks even more sparse. After a couple of days with energy dropping into double digits (51 on 23 July, 85 on 24 July), the swell is barely there. The only flicker of a ‘marginal’ call comes on the morning of 24 July, with a 5ft swell and period of 7 seconds, but the wind is still cross-shore and the energy is moderate (215). It’s a “maybe” at best, but with the same poor quality, it’s hard to recommend.
Los Cocos is a beach/jetty setup, and with this constant cross-shore wind and short-period swell, it’s honestly looking more like a kite surfing day than a paddle surfing session. The swell direction is ENE to NE, which is cross-shore for this spot, and it just doesn’t match the optimum NNE direction. Consistency is “fairly consistent,” but considering the quality, that doesn’t help.
Bottom line: there’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not totally unusual when the wind and swell don’t line up. Keep your eye on the forecast, but for now, leave the boards in the car.
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.
