Table - best surf conditions forecast for Los Cocos over the next 16 days.


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the next 16 days. The outlook is a bit grim for the most part. We’ve got a persistent, weak windswell running, but the quality is just not there. The winds are stuck in a cross-shore pattern, which is doing no favours for the wave face. It’s a real shame, because the water temperature is bang on average for this time of year at 81°, so a dip would be nice, but the surf is just messy.

The first real swell to talk about isn't until Saturday the 11th, and even then it’s a tough sell. Los Cocos is a beach and jetty setup, and the swell is coming from the NE at 4 ft with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 160, but the wind is cross-shore from the E at 9 mph, so it’s all chop and poor conditions. That’s the story for the next several days. Sunday the 12th afternoon sees a slight bump to 5 ft from the NE, pushing the energy up to 223, but it’s still a short-period windswell with cross-shore wind. The forecast calls it marginal at best. Monday the 13th through the following week is just more of the same: 4 ft to 5 ft of ENE windswell, with periods stuck at 7 seconds, and cross-shore winds. The energy climbs a bit, hitting 235 on the 15th and 279 on the 20th, but it’s all poor quality. The optimum swell direction for Los Cocos is NNE, but we’re getting ENE, so it’s not even lining up right.

There is a wee bit of a window on Wednesday the 22nd. The morning shows 5 ft from the ENE at 7 seconds, with the energy at 235, and the wind is still cross-shore, but the forecast nudges it up to a "marginal" rating. The consistent swell is there, but it’s still a choppy, short-period offering. It’s not a standout, it’s just the least-bad day in a long run.

The real problem is the lack of any clean, offshore wind. We get a slight break on Thursday the 23rd afternoon, with the wind dropping to a light breeze from the E at 6 mph, but the swell drops to 4 ft. The next day, Friday the 24th, the energy drops right off to 94, with a 4 ft, 6-second swell. The run from Friday the 24th to Sunday the 26th is a gap of virtually no decent surf. The swell is tiny and weak, with the energy falling below 100 on the 24th. Saturday the 25th afternoon sees a bump to 5 ft from the ENE with an 8-second period and energy of 242, but it’s only rated as marginal.

So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate for a paddle, the afternoons of Wednesday the 22nd or Saturday the 25th might offer the most push, but don’t expect anything clean. The wind is always cross-shore, and the swell is short and weak. This is a blank run, pretty normal for the area when the trade winds are up. Things can change, but as it stands, leave the boards in the car and go for a swim.

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.
