The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it.
Gotta be honest with you, this outlook for Los Cocos is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of what I'd call "wasted energy." The wind is almost always cross-shore, and the swell is short-period, choppy stuff. There's a big gap of over a week with basically nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 82° with an anomaly of 0.4°, so pretty much normal for this time of year.
From Tuesday the 4th of August right through to Sunday the 16th of August, it's all "poor surf conditions" with scores of zero. The swell is hanging around the 3ft to 6ft mark, but it's all coming from the ENE with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at best, hitting around 120 to 436, but with that wind and chop, it's just messy. The wind is blowing 9 to 12 mph from the east, which is cross-shore for this beach/jetty setup, and it's creating a bumpy surface. This is more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddle-surfing one for a while.
Things get slightly less terrible around Monday the 17th of August. We see the conditions shift to "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." The swell is still ENE at 5ft to 5ft, but the period stretches to 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (219 to 302). The wind drops to a gentle breeze at 9 mph from the east, which means a gentler cross-shore with less chop. It's not clean, but it's the only window where you might find a few lumpy ones to ride if you're desperate. Still, it's not a standout by any stretch.
After that, it's back to the poor stuff on the 18th and 19th of August. The swell holds around 4ft to 5ft, but the period drops back to 7 seconds and the cross-shore wind picks up again. Not worth the effort.
Honestly, there's no true standout in this 16-day window. If you have to get wet, the best bet is the morning of the 17th of August, but keep your expectations on the floor. Otherwise, give it a miss.
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.
