The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Los Cocos is a tough one. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but the wind and the conditions just aren’t playing ball. The water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is just about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first proper surf shows up on Friday, July 17th, with a 3ft swell from the ENE, but it’s a short period 6-second windswell, and the cross-shore wind is already messing it up. The combined swell energy is weak (80). It’s labelled as poor surf, so honestly, don’t bother.

Things actually pick up in size from Saturday, July 18th, through into the following week. We see solid 5ft to 6ft waves from the ENE, with the swell energy climbing into the moderate range (186 to 294). The period stays short though, between 7 and 8 seconds, meaning it’s bumpy, weak, and lacking that push. The wind is a constant cross-shore, gusting up to 12 mph, which keeps the surface choppy. It’s rideable, but it’s not clean.

The best the entire forecast has to offer is probably the mornings of Monday, July 20th, and Tuesday, July 21st. The swell holds around 5ft to 5ft from the ENE, with moderate energy (229 and 204), but even then, the wind is cross-shore and the surf quality is still poor. It’s not a standout, it’s just the least bad of a bad bunch. For a beach/jetty setup like Los Cocos, with that constant cross-chop, it’s more of a training session than a memorable session.

From Wednesday, July 22nd, the swell drops a little to the 3ft to 4ft range, and the energy dips back down (80 to 163). The wind stays cross-shore, sometimes dropping to a light breeze, which might give you a window of slightly less chop, but the period stays short (6-7 seconds). The pattern keeps repeating: a day of “some clouds” or “risk tstorm,” then a clear morning, then more cross-shore wind.

We hit a bit of a lull around July 26th and 27th, with swell dipping to 3ft and energy dropping to 85. That’s a quiet couple of days.

The last real push comes at the very end of the forecast, on August 1st. We see a 5ft swell from the NE, with energy climbing back up to 217, but again, the wind is a moderate cross-shore at 12 mph. The direction is shifting toward the NE, which is closer to the optimum NNE direction, but the short period and constant chop kill the vibe.

Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, this setup with the steady cross-shore wind and waist-to-chest high waves might be more interesting than for a paddle surfer. For a standard surfer, the whole window is a write-off. There’s no standout day, no magic window. It’s a long 16 days of almost-but-not-quite.

This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
