The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Los Cocos over the next couple of weeks.
First things first – the opening stretch is a total dud. There’s tiny swell but the wind is stuck cross-shore from the east and east-northeast, just ruining any chance of a clean face. The combined wave energy is barely ticking over (44 to 49 on Thursday the 13th, and only up to 318 on Friday the 14th – weak stuff), with a short 5 to 8-second period. Conditions are "poor" all the way until Sunday the 16th. That’s about five days of nothing worth a paddle.
Then, Monday the 17th morning gives us a real glimmer at Los Cocos. A light east-southeast breeze turns slightly cross-offshore, and the report says “clean” – finally. Swell is 1.4m from the northeast at 8 seconds, with moderate energy of 250. It’s not powerful, but for an intermediate spot that’s fairly consistent, this is your one clear window. Just be aware that crowds are sometimes a factor. The afternoon goes marginal again with thunderstorm risk, so hit it early.
From Tuesday the 18th through to Friday the 21st, we’re back to poor surf and light cross-winds. Swell drops under a metre, energy falls back into the 50s and 60s. Not worth the rubber.
Saturday the 22nd morning is a weird one – the wind goes glassy. Dead calm. The swell is only 1.0m from the NE with a 6-second period, and energy is a tiny 78 (weak). You could get a couple of grovelly, soft waves but it’s really just a “surfable but very ordinary” moment. Still, it’s the only glassy spell in the whole 16 days.
The last week, from the 23rd to the 28th, it’s more cross-shore winds and moderate breezes. Wednesday the 26th morning sees 1.7m from the ENE at 7 seconds, with energy of 279 (moderate), but the cross-wind keeps it marginal. Thursday the 27th is similar but with a stronger 20 km/h cross-wind adding chop.
So, bottom line: if you want the cleanest and most energetic session, pencil in Monday 17th morning. The rest? A long, choppy, ho-hum stretch.
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.
