The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. This 16-day outlook for Los Cocos is a rough one, plain and simple. There’s a big ol' gap at the start with nothing worth paddling for, and it takes a solid week before we even get a sniff of a clean wave. It’s mostly short-period wind swell with a cross-shore breeze, which is a recipe for a frustrating session on a beach and jetty set-up.
We start on Wednesday, August 26th, and it’s junk. The wind is 20 km/h cross-shore from the ENE, the swell is a weak 1.2m with a 6-second period, and the energy is weak at 103. There’s a cross-chop, so it’s just messy. This pattern holds for days. Swell heights stay around 1.1m to 1.3m, periods stay at 6 to 7 seconds, and the wind stays cross. It’s all "poor surf conditions" until the very end of the month.
The only sliver of hope comes on Monday, August 31st. The morning has a light 5 km/h ESE breeze, leaving the surface clean. The swell is a small 0.9m from the NE with a 6-second period, and the energy is weak at 104. It’s surfable, but it’s forgettable. The afternoon bumps up a bit, with the swell hitting 1.1m and the period stretching to 7 seconds, which brings the energy up to a moderate 156. But the wind picks up to 10 km/h and it’s still just ordinary. If you’ve got the itch, this is the window, but don’t expect much.
Tuesday, September 1st, shows a spike in size with a 1.5m morning swell, but that’s the only highlight. The period is still a short 7 seconds, and the wind is a cross-shore 15 km/h with chop. So around 1.5m, this is pushing it for beginners, but the poor quality makes it a wash for everyone. The afternoon goes back to being poor. After that, it’s a long, monotonous stretch of meh. The swells stay small, the periods stay short, and the winds stay cross. There’s a little more energy around September 9th, with 1.3m and 1.4m swells, but it’s still not enough to overcome the crummy conditions.
Honestly, there’s no standout in this entire 16-day window. The water is about average for this time of year. Given the constant cross-shore winds and short-period slop, this looks like a better setup for kites than surfboards. You’re better off finding something else to do. I’m not holding my breath on this one, but forecasts can turn around. Right now, it’s a pass.

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.
