The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf outlook for the Los Cocos area.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary. The swell is small and weak, the wind is mostly cross-shore, and conditions are just messy. The first few days are a write-off, with poor surf and tiny, short-period windswell bumping in from the ENE. Through Thursday the 3rd up to Sunday the 6th, wave heights are barely pushing 3 ft, with periods short at 5 to 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak – in the 50s to 80s. Not worth paddling out for.

The first real hint of something is on Monday morning the 7th, when the combined energy climbs to 132 (moderate), and swell height reaches 4 ft, period 7 seconds. Still cross-shore wind though, so it’s bumpy. The energy builds through the week, hitting 239 on Tuesday the 8th morning with 5 ft swell, but again, wind is cross-shore from the ENE at 12 mph, so it’s choppy. The swell direction is ENE, which is not the optimum for this break (NNE is best), so the waves won’t be well-shaped.

The best looking window in the whole run is Wednesday the 9th morning, with 5 ft swell from ENE, period 7 seconds, and combined energy of 209 (moderate). Still, the wind is cross-shore, and the quality is poor. Not a standout.

The only real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 15th morning, when we get a glassy window – wind drops to 3 mph from the ESE, conditions go glassy, and there’s 4 ft of ENE swell. The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and the score is a 1. That’s the best of a bad lot, but it’s still not good. The combined energy is only 116.

Then on Wednesday the 16th morning, another glassy moment with 3 ft swell, but the period is only 6 seconds and energy is 80. Again, ordinary.

Overall, there’s no true standout session in the 16-day window. The surf is small, short-period, and mostly cross-shore. The water temperature is 82°, which is about average for this time of year. If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings on the 15th and 16th might give you a few weak, clean waves, but don’t expect much.

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.
