Right oh, grab a seat. It’s Rusty here, and I’ll be straight with you – looking at this 16-day window for Los Cocos, it’s a tough one.
I’ve got to be honest, for the next couple of weeks the surf just isn't there. We’ve got a run from Sunday the 5th all the way through to Sunday the 19th where conditions are called "poor" every single session. That’s a solid two-week gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
The swell is constantly coming from the ENE or NE, around 3 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is stuck on that cross-shore and gusty – never swinging offshore to clean things up. The wave energy is moderate at best, with readings mostly in the two and three hundreds (like 493 on the afternoon of the 9th), but the period is short, usually 6 to 8 seconds, so there’s no grunt to shape any decent wall. For Los Cocos, a beach/jetty setup, that long-period groundswell that could wrap in is sorely missed.
This is a blank run that feels pretty normal for the area during this pattern.
The only flicker of life comes right at the tail end – Monday the 20th of July. The morning shows a 6 ft NE swell with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (356). The winds are still cross-shore, but the score nudges up to a "1" and the comment changes to "marginal" instead of "poor." It’s not a standout, but it’s the only window with any pulse. For a brief moment, you might find a lumpy, chop-ridden wave. If you’re desperate and the wind looks lighter, that’s your best bet. But don’t expect anything clean.
For the rest of the period, honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than for paddling. The cross-shore winds are steady, and the chop will keep you planing. For surfing, I’d say sit this one out.
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.
Los Cocos is 0 km (0 miles) from Caraballeda. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Caraballeda. Caraballeda has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
