The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Los Cocos. Look, I gotta be straight with ya – it's gonna be a long wait. The next couple of weeks are looking grim, with almost nothing but poor surf conditions on the menu. We're talking day after day of weak, short-period windswell coming from the ENE, hitting around 3ft to 4ft, and the energy is pretty meek. The wind is stuck in a cross-shore pattern from the east, which is just keeping everything messy with a bumpy surface. The water temp is sitting at a normal 82°F for the time of year, but you won't care much about that when you're staring at flat, choppy lines.
There's a real gap here with no surf worth paddling out for until we get towards the very end of the 16-day run. This is one of those stretches where you dust off the longboard and just go for a paddle.
Finally, we get a little flicker of hope. On Friday the 25th of September, the conditions are forecast to shift. The wind goes glassy in the morning from the SSW, and then dead calm in the afternoon from the NNW. That's the best news we've had all forecast period. The swell is still that short-period ENE windswell, about 4ft, but for a beach/jetty setup like Los Cocos, that glassy surface is a massive positive. The wave comment changes from "poor" to "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which tells you it's not going to be epic, but it'll be rideable and clean. That's your best and really your only standout, but it's only getting a low score, so temper your expectations. The swell direction (ENE) is not perfect for this break, which prefers it from the NNE, so the shape will be a bit wonky, but at least you won't be fighting the wind. It's a break that's fairly consistent in general, so a dry spell like this is a bit out of character, but it happens. Don't expect much from the days after, as the cross-shore wind kicks back in on Saturday.
So, the call is simple: wait it out. The morning of Friday the 25th of September is your best shot for a clean session at Los Cocos, but keep your expectations low on the wave quality.
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.
