Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Los Cocos has in store. Honestly, looking at this whole 16-day window, it’s a mixed bag of ordinary and frustration. The pattern is stuck in a bit of a rut, with the wind being the main culprit most days, messing up what could be decent little waves.
The water is sitting at 80° right now, which is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about there.
Things start off pretty grim. From July 4th right through to the 8th, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a risk of thunderstorms and a persistent cross-shore wind that’s just chopping everything up. You’re looking at small swell, around 3ft to 4ft, and the wave energy is weak to moderate (81 – 173). Not worth paddling out for. There’s a tiny glimmer on the morning of Monday the 6th, a brief moment of clean conditions, but the waves are still ordinary at 4ft. Not a session to get excited about.
Now, we get a proper standout. The afternoon of Thursday, July 9th is a serious contender for the best of the entire forecast. The swell pushes up to a solid 7ft from the ENE, and more importantly, the period stretches to 9 seconds. The wave energy jumps to a strong 615. The wind swings cross-offshore, promising clean faces. For an intermediate surfer, this is solid, punchy stuff. For the beginners out there, that 7ft is pushing the edge of what’s fun. The break is fairly consistent and exposed to the NNE optimum, but it’s also got ENE swell coming in, which isn't a perfect match for that jetty. Still, when it’s this clean, you’ll get some good ones. Be aware crowds are possible here at Los Cocos.
After that one shining window, it’s back to the grind. Friday the 10th through Sunday the 19th of July is a long, frustrating stretch. The swell stays in the 3ft to 5ft range, but that relentless cross-shore wind (9–16 mph) just won’t quit. It’s gonna be bumpy, choppy, and ordinary. The energy is moderate (92 – 256), but the quality is shot. You’d be better off going for a kite session on those windier days than trying to wrestle a surfboard through the chop. This is a long blank run, and unfortunately, it’s just not a good stretch for paddle surfing.
So, if you have to pick a time, circle that Thursday afternoon on July 9th in your calendar. The rest? Not much to write home about.
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.
Los Cocos is 0 km (0 miles) from Caraballeda. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Caraballeda. Caraballeda has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
