Right, let’s talk about what’s shaping up here for Los Cocos. It’s a beach and jetty setup, fairly consistent, soaking up swells from the NNE. The water’s sitting at 80°F right now, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first couple of days are a write-off, I’m sorry to say – from Monday the 6th right through to Wednesday the 8th, the surf’s poor. Winds are cross-shore and the energy is low, with a weak 106 to 211 in the combined swell energy, and a short, choppy 7-second period. There’s just nothing to get excited about, so park the car and don’t bother waxing up.
Then, on Thursday the 9th, we finally get a little pulse. Morning brings a jump to 6ft swell from the ENE, with the combined energy climbing to 481, and the wind swings around to a cross-offshore breeze. That’s clean. Lovely shape from a 8-second period, which isn’t groundswell but at least it’s offering proper crumble. The afternoon cleans up even more, with the same 6ft from the ENE, the energy hitting 512, and the comment is very good. For the northeast orientation of Los Cocos, that’s your standout. The crowd factor says “sometimes” here, so on a Thursday it’s your best shot at a few clean walls to yourself.
From Friday the 10th onward, it’s a long slog of mediocrity. The wind sticks cross-shore at 12 mph, the swell energy drops back into the 200s and 100s, and that 7-second period kills any hopes of a proper wave face. There’s a faint flicker on Sunday the 12th afternoon with a “marginal” tag and a 5ft ENE swell at 207 energy, but the period is still a flat 7 seconds, and the wind is gentle cross-shore. That’s for the patient only. Another slight tickle on Friday the 17th morning – 5ft, 202 energy – but again, nothing that warrants rushing down. The rest of the run, right through to Tuesday the 21st, is just poor. The swell drops to 3ft, the energy bottoms out at 95, and you’re looking at a 7-second wind bump with cross-shore chop.
Honestly, if you can get on the water Thursday the 9th, that’s the only real call. It’s not huge, it’s not a groundswell, but it’s clean with a cross-offshore wind, and that’s gold around here. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a case of keeping the board in the bag.

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.
