The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what we've got coming up for Los Cocos.
Honestly, it's a bit of a tough stretch for the next 16 days. The pattern is pretty set: we've got a constant cross-shore wind that's just not playing ball. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for the time of year, so at least that's not the problem.
Looking right through the first days, from Saturday the 8th all the way through to Monday the 17th of August, it's just poor condition after poor condition. The swell is there, mostly in the 3 ft to 6 ft range from the NE and ENE, with combined energy flickering between 66 and 482 (light to moderate). But that energy gets ruined by the cross-shore wind. The period stays short, between 6 and 8 seconds, which is just weak, wind-affected slop. Not worth paddling out for.
The one time the numbers start to look interesting is Saturday the 15th of August in the afternoon. The swell bumps up to 8 ft from the NE, with a longer period of 11 seconds – that's proper groundswell – and the combined energy goes through the roof to 1212. But even then, the comment calls it marginal. The risk of thunderstorms and a cross-shore wind of 15 km/h will still chop it up. This is getting into the "too big for beginners" territory and honestly, with that wind, a beach/jetty setup like Los Cocos might be more fun for the kite surfers than a straight paddle.
After that, from the 17th into the third week, the swell drops right off and the cross-shore wind just sticks around. The 18th and 19th of August get a "marginal" tag, with 4 ft to 5 ft swell and combined energy around 200-235, but it's still cross-shore. It's not going to be clean.
So, what's the best on offer? There isn't a true standout. The one to watch – and I mean really watch, because it's a long way off and uncertain – is that Saturday the 15th of August afternoon. It's the only time we get a big, long-period groundswell and moderate energy hitting the 1212 mark. But with the wind being cross and the break being a beach/jetty, that long period can make it close out and shift around a lot. If the wind had been offshore, this would be the one, full stop. But it's not. So, if you have to get wet, that's the window to gamble on at Los Cocos.

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.
