The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, in feet and miles. Let’s get into it.
The first ten days from Friday the 21st of August are a write-off, plain and simple. Los Cocos sees weak, short-period swell (mostly under 4 feet, 6-7 seconds) with cross-shore winds from the east or east-northeast blowing 5 to 20 mph. The combined wave energy is low, barely breaking into the moderate range. It’s all “poor surf conditions” and risk of thunderstorms. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.
The one and only real shot comes Monday the 31st of August morning. Swell pushes to 6 feet from the northeast, period stretching to 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits 586 (strong). Wind is a gentle cross-shore at 15 mph from the east. That’s the best of the lot by a long shot. It’s a bit big for beginners, but intermediates should be on it. Monday afternoon drops to 6 feet (east-northeast, 8 seconds, 377 energy), still worth a session if you missed the morning.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning offers 6 feet (ENE, 7 seconds, 347 energy) but it’s marginal quality with cross-shore breeze and storm risk. Wednesday through Friday is back to poor, small stuff under 4 feet.
Saturday the 5th of September morning shows 5 feet (ENE, 7 seconds, 256 energy) – marginal again, but at least there’s a little pulse.
In short: Monday the 31st of August morning is your only real standout. Everything else is on the back burner. Unless you’re into kiting, then this stretch might have something for you.
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.
