The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be real upfront: the next 16 days are a tough stretch for Los Cocos. The forecast is pretty grim for a solid week and a half, with nearly nothing worth paddling out for. The window is basically closed from now through the end of August and into early September. We’re staring at a long, dry spell with no real surf on offer until the very end of the run.
The problem is a persistent cross-shore wind from the east-northeast, blowing at 9 to 12 mph most days, and that’s keeping the surface chopped up and messy. The swell is small and weak – mostly around 4 ft but with a short, gutless period of only 6 to 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is low, mostly sitting between 100 and 150 (weak to moderate), which is just not enough to push through the wind. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
We don’t see anything that could be called a standout until the very end of the outlook. On Sunday, September 6th, the morning session looks like the only real chance. The wind drops right out to glassy conditions – a light east-southeast breeze at 3 mph. That’s a major positive. The swell at Los Cocos (beach/jetty) will be around 4 ft from the east-northeast with a period of 7 seconds. Wave energy is still moderate (123). It’s not going to be pumping, but with the clean, glassy surface, it’ll be surfable and very ordinary, but at least it won’t be a wind-blown mess. The break is fairly consistent, and crowds are sometimes an issue, but on a day like this, you might have it mostly to yourself.
The following Monday, September 7th, the swell bumps up a bit to 6 ft in the morning, with the energy jumping to 327 (moderate). The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and the wind is cross-shore again. This one is marginal at best – better for a stronger paddler, but the wind and short period mean it’s not going to be clean.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 6th of September is your day. The rest of the period is a write-off. The wave energy stays weak, the wind never cooperates, and the swell is too small and short-period to make anything of.
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.
