Table - best surf conditions forecast for Los Cocos over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s look at Los Cocos in feet and miles.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks look pretty flat. You’re looking at a real dry spell to start, with the first decent chance not showing up until Friday, July 24th. That’s about a ten-day stretch of small, messy, and weak conditions. The combined swell energy is mostly under 250 (moderate at best), and the wind is stuck cross-shore, keeping everything chopped up. Not a great start.
The best bet is on the 24th. That Friday morning, the light breeze turns cross-offshore, and it goes glassy. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell. The energy hits 198 (moderate). The afternoon cleans up even more with glassy conditions. It’s still not going to be world-class, but it’s the only time in the whole 16 days where the wind and swell line up. Los Cocos is a beach and jetty break, so that short period will keep it from being too straight.
Water temp is about 80°, which is pretty average for the time of year (anomaly of 0.1°). Nothing unusual.
Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might see a few others, but it won’t be packed.
After that, the 25th and 26th have more cross-shore wind, but there are a couple of glassy windows on the 25th afternoon (calm winds) and the 26th morning (5 mph from the ESE). The swell holds around 4ft to 5ft, with energy dropping back into the 100s (moderate). It’s rideable, but not exciting. By the 27th, it fades to tiny, weak waves with energy under 100 (weak), so the window is short.
So, basically, you’ve got a narrow window around the 24th and 25th. If you want to get wet, that’s your time. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.

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.
