The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The surf is on the back foot for most of it, with only a few tiny windows where you might scratch out a ride.
The overall pattern is dominated by a consistent, short-period ENE windswell. The problem is the wind. It’s blowing cross-shore from the east or east-northeast for the vast majority of the period, which is going to keep the surface chopped up and messy. The wave energy is weak to moderate, with the combined energy figures mostly in the low-to-mid hundreds (158 to 325), which tells you it’s not packing much punch.
We start with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. From Monday the 7th right through to Wednesday the 16th of September, it’s a desert. The conditions are labelled "poor" across the board – cross winds, cross-chop, and the swell is weak and short-period. The only break in the gloom is a brief moment on the morning of Wednesday the 16th. The wind drops to glassy, but the swell is tiny at 3 ft from the ENE with a period of just 6 seconds and weak energy (80). The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". Honestly, it’s not a standout, but it’s the only glimmer of clean conditions in a long, dry spell.
Towards the end of the run, around Friday the 18th of September, we see a slight bump in the swell. The morning shows 5 ft from the ENE, but again, the cross-shore wind is back, and the quality is labelled "marginal". It’s the same story for the rest of the period – a few pulses of chest-high swell, but the wind never really lets up to give us a proper clean session.
For the most part, this is a write-off for a decent paddle. The consistent cross-shore wind and short-period swell mean the setup at Los Cocos, a beach/jetty break, looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle. The swell is too weak and poorly shaped for a good time.
There are no true standouts here. The best of a bad bunch is the glassy morning on the 16th, but it’s tiny. Long-range, there’s nothing promising on the horizon. This is a tough one.
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.
