The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but for the next week and a half, things are flat, messy, and just plain ugly. We’ve got a long stretch here where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. From Friday the 7th all the way through to Saturday the 15th of August, the conditions are consistently poor. Cross-shore winds, small, short-period, weak swell, and that nasty cross-chop that makes it feel like you’re fighting a washing machine. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for. You’d be wasting your energy.

Now, the one glimmer on the horizon—and I mean the *only* one—comes on Saturday the 15th of August at Los Cocos. That afternoon, we finally see a pulse of energy arrive. The combined swell energy jumps to a moderate 537, which is the biggest reading we’ve seen in the whole window. The swell should be around 6 ft from the NE, with a period of 9 seconds. It’s not a long-period groundswell, but it’s got enough push to get some shape going. The wind is a gentle cross-shore breeze, which isn’t perfect, but it’s not ruining it either. Look, it’s only rated as marginal, so don’t expect perfection, but if you’ve been staring at a flat ocean for over a week, this is your best bet. Be aware the break is exposed to the NE swell, so it should pick it up. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company if you go.

The water temp sits at a warm 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The rest of the outlook into the following week? More of the same. A few days with slightly higher energy, but still hit by cross-shore winds and poor surf conditions. It’s a tough run.

I’m not one to sugarcoat it, mates. This is a barren stretch. But that Saturday afternoon at Los Cocos might just give you something to smile about.

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.
