The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a bit of a tough stretch right now. We’re looking at a long gap of flat, messy conditions at Los Cocos for the first week and a half. The swell is small and weak, just 4 to 5 ft from the NE or ENE, with a short period of only 7 seconds – that’s just windswell, not groundswell, so it’ll be weak and crumbly. The wind is cross-shore from the E or ENE at 9-12 mph, which is just putting a constant chop on the surface. The combined wave energy is low (127 to 223), and the guidance calls it “poor surf conditions” every day. There’s no real quality on offer.
Things start to get interesting around Friday, August 14th. That morning, we get a bit of a bump. Swell picks up to 6 ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 393 – that’s moderate, solid energy. The wind goes light from the ESE at 6 mph, turning cross-offshore, which will clean the faces right up. The guidance says “expect good surf conditions” – this is the one standout in the whole run. It’s still a short-period swell, so it won’t be the most powerful, but for a beach/jetty setup like Los Cocos, the clean conditions and the size will make it fun. The water is warm at 83°F, which is about average for this time of year.
After that, it drops back into the same pattern – cross-shore wind, small swell, and poor quality. Then on Monday, August 17th, the morning sees a real drop: only 3 ft from the ENE, but get this – the wind goes glassy from the ESE at 3 mph. The energy is weak (90), but the surface will be like a mirror. It’s surfable, but ordinary. For a beginner who just wants to paddle around, it’ll be okay, but it’s not a session to write home about.
The bottom line? If you’ve got a window, the Friday the 14th morning is your best bet – that’s the only real quality window in the whole 16 days. The rest is a long grind of cross-shore chop and small, weak swell. The break is listed as “fairly consistent” but “sometimes” crowded, so with only one good day, you might actually have it to yourself.

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.
