The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Los Cocos has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got plenty of days with surf on offer, but it’s mostly going to be poor surf conditions with a persistent cross-shore wind messing things up. The swell is generally small, and the period is short, so the energy is weak.
Right now, the swell is coming from the ENE at about 4ft with a period of only 7 seconds. The combined energy is a very modest 143 (moderate wave energy). The water temperature here is 82°F, which is about average for this time of year.
The first real standout – and I mean the only one that gets me a little excited – is on Sunday, September 20th in the morning. We get a glassy session. The wind drops to zero, no chop, just clean conditions. The swell is a tiny bit smaller, around 4ft from the ENE, still with that 6-second period, but the combined energy is a mere 104 (weak wave energy). It’s not big, not powerful, but with glassy conditions, it’s the best chance for a surfable wave if you are desperate for a paddle.
After that, we slide back into the same pattern. For the rest of the window, it’s the same story: consistent but poor. The swell stays between 4ft and 5ft from the ENE, period rarely goes over 7 seconds, and the cross-shore wind from the East is a constant companion. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Thursday, September 24th and Friday, September 25th where we get glassy conditions again, with a bit more energy (193 on the 25th - moderate wave energy), but the swell is still just 5ft and short period. It’s going to be very ordinary.
Because the swell is small and short period, and the wind is mostly cross-shore, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. If you’re a surfer, you’re really hunting for the few glassy windows.
So, to wrap it up: don't get your hopes up. The morning of September 20th is your best bet if you need to get wet. Otherwise, keep an eye on the forecasts, but this run is looking pretty flat and messy.
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.
