The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We've got Los Cocos, a beach/jetty set-up, and it's exposed to the swell, but the wind is just not playing ball.
The whole run starts Sunday, July 26th, with a tiny 3ft NE swell, but the wind is already a problem. The morning is glassy, which is a positive, but the combined energy is a weak 73 – it's just not got any punch. The waves are there but they're ordinary. From Sunday afternoon, it's all downhill. The wind swings cross-shore and stays that way for the entire forecast. The model shows "poor surf conditions" for every single session after that until at least August 10th.
We see a bump in swell size – Thursday, July 30th, the swell hits 6ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 434 (moderate), but it's still cross-shore wind. The setup is a beach/jetty, and with that much cross-chop, it's going to be a messy, bumpy mess. That's a session for the kite surfers, not for a paddle.
Come Friday, August 7th, the swell is back up to 6ft from the ENE (combined energy 279), but again, it's that same story: moderate cross-shore breeze and a cross-chop. The wave state is described as "poor."
There is no standout. There is no best on offer. The wind just never lets up. For a spot that needs clean conditions, this is a blank run. It's a tough stretch. The one morning of glass on the 26th is the only sliver of hope, but the swell is too small and weak to make it anything special.
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.
