The Lowdown
Alright surfers, ol’ Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for us at Los Cocos. Gotta say, it’s a pretty grim stretch on the whole – a long run of nothing special to get excited about.
Right from the first day, Wednesday the 16th, it kicks off with weak, short-period swell at 3ft from the ENE and a cross-shore breeze. The combined energy is weak at 73, and it’s just poor. This same story – small, weak, onshore-influenced slop – drags on for days. There’s a week’s worth of very ordinary surf here, with the wave energy barely getting into the moderate range, hitting only 176 at best on Friday morning the 18th, but still with a crummy cross-shore wind. It’s just frustrating.
We finally see a tiny glimmer on Sunday the 27th. The morning brings in a glassy session with the wind swinging light offshore from the NNE, and the wave energy picks up to 143. The swell is still only 3ft from the ENE, but that clean, glassy surface will make it look better than it is. It’s a short-lived window of clean conditions, but still very ordinary waves.
After that, it fades fast into the start of October with even smaller, weaker surf and no decent wind to help. Honestly, for this stretch, the setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer given the persistent cross-shore winds and small, weak swell.
For the entire 16-day window, there isn’t a single standout session. The best you can hope for is that glassy Sunday morning the 27th for a few limp waves, but it’s hardly a call to arms. A blank run like this is not unusual for the area.
Stay patient, keep checking the forecasts.
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.
