The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a grim stretch for Los Cocos. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, plain and simple. We’ve got a persistent cross-shore wind from the east, around 9 to 12 mph, and it’s bringing a constant cross-chop that’s just ruining any chance of a clean wave. The swell is hanging around 3 to 5 ft, but it’s short-period, wind-driven junk with a period of just 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy sits in the moderate range, hitting numbers like 204 (moderate) or 235 (moderate), but it doesn’t matter when the wind and chop are this bad. Every single session is flagged as “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero out of ten. Not a single highlight, not a single standout. It’s a total blank run.
The water temperature is 80°, which is spot on average for this time of year – no anomaly there. The break itself is a beach/jetty setup, and it’s fairly consistent, but with this onshore mess, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. You’d be fighting chop and a cross-wind all day.
We start on July 13th, Monday afternoon, with a risk of thunderstorms and that same 4 ft cross-shore slop. It doesn’t let up. Tuesday the 14th through to the end of the month just repeats the same story: morning and afternoon, day after day, cross-shore wind, cross-chop, and poor conditions. The swell tries to bump up to 5 ft or 5 ft on a few days, like the 15th and the 17th, but the period stays short, and the wind kills it. Even on the 25th, when the wind drops to a light breeze at 6 mph, the swell is tiny at 4 ft with a 6-second period and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” The last few days, like the 26th and 27th, the energy drops to weak levels (51 or 80), and the swell shrinks to 3 ft.
There’s a glimmer on the 28th, Tuesday morning, with a 5 ft swell and a bit more energy at 229, but the wind is still cross-shore at 12 mph, and the condition is poor. It’s just not worth it.
So, no waves to chase here. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the wind sets in from the east. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
