Los Cocos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell of poor conditions. From the start of the forecast right through to the morning of the 19th of September, you're looking at a solid two-week gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is there, but the wind is locked in cross-shore, which is just making a mess of everything. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year.

Now, things finally look a little more promising on the morning of Saturday the 19th. That morning at Los Cocos (beach/jetty) , we get a bit of a break. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore from the ESE at 6 mph, which should clean the surface right up. You'll find a small, weak swell – about 4 ft from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds, so the energy is pretty low (141). It's not going to be a classic, but it's the first time the wind plays ball. The combined swell energy is weak. Just keep in mind the jetty area can draw a crowd sometimes.

Then, the next morning, Monday the 21st, is the real standout, and the best of the whole outlook. Early on, we get very light ESE winds, practically glassy at 3 mph. The swell is still small, 3 ft from the ENE with a short 6-second period and weak energy (72), but it will be absolutely clean. For a beach/jetty setup, that clean face will make a world of difference. The crowd factor is still "sometimes", so you might have to share it, but for this area, that's the window you want.

Outside of those two windows, it's a no-go. The wind just doesn't let up, and the conditions stay ordinary. Don't hold your breath for the rest of it.

Rusty.
