The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s coming up for Los Cocos over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a rough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, and honestly, there’s hardly a single day worth paddling out for. The whole period is plagued by poor surf conditions, and the numbers back it up.
The first real chance of anything even close to rideable doesn’t show up until Wednesday, 22 July morning, and even that’s only a marginal call. The swell is coming from the ENE at 5ft, but with a short period of 7 seconds, it’s all windswell. The energy is moderate at best, sitting at 204. The water temp is a pretty standard 81°, about average for the time of year. The biggest issue is the wind. It’s a constant cross-shore from the east, blowing at 9 mph, which is keeping the surface chopped up and messy. The break is a beach and jetty setup, so it’s not handling the conditions well at all.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a standout, there isn’t one. The best I can say is that the surf is consistent in its poor quality. The swell direction from the ENE is okay, but the short period and persistent cross-breeze ruin any chance of a clean face. The combined energy (204) is only moderate, so it’s not even a big, powerful mess—just a weak, lumpy one.
For the rest of the period, it’s more of the same. The swell hangs around 3ft to 5ft, but the period stays short, the wind never turns offshore, and the energy flags are all in the low to moderate range. From the 27th to the 29th, the energy drops below 100, which is genuinely weak. This isn’t just a bad run; it’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the trade winds lock in like this.
Don’t hold your breath. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’re into that. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the wax.
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.
