The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here. Let’s talk about Los Cocos.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you – the view from here is pretty grim for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a decent little NE pulse trying to show up, but the wind is just going to ruin it, day after day. The water’s a warm 81°, feeling normal for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s comfy.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t pop up until Saturday morning, August 1st. That morning, we’ll see a clean, glassy window with some light SE airs. The swell is a small 4 ft from the NE, with a short period of 7 seconds, so the energy is weak (147). It’s surfable, but it’s not going to be anything to write home about. The rest of that day and the whole next week is just a story of cross-shore wind, from the E and ENE, blowing at 6 to 12 mph. It’s going to chop up the 4 ft to 5 ft swell something rotten. The energy is all moderate (169-241), but with that wind, it’s just messy.
There is one tiny glimmer. Thursday morning, August 13th, the swell bumps up a touch, but it’s still short period (8 secs) so the lines won’t be pretty. The east wind is still there, but if you’re desperate, you might find a corner. The truth is, nothing here rates as a standout. The jetty at Los Cocos is exposed to the NNE, which is close to what we’re getting, but the conditions are just not cooperating.
If you’re a beginner, the swell is small enough, but the wind is going to make it tricky. For anyone else, it’s a pass. The whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest.
Hang in there, or go find a lake. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a bummer.
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.
