The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's be straight with you on this one.
Honestly, looking at the next two weeks, it's a bit of a tough stretch for Los Cocos. The surf is on offer from Thursday, July 16th, but it's wrapped up in a persistent cross-shore wind that just won't let up, leaving the surface chopped up for days on end. The swell energy is mostly in the moderate range, with readings like (145) and (170) early on, but that ENE wind direction and steady breeze is a real buzzkill. We're stuck in a pattern of chest to shoulder-high swell (4ft to 6ft), but it's coming from the ENE with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, so the waves are going to be lumpy and weak, not the kind of clean lines we're after. There's a long stretch here where it's just not worth paddling out.
The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Now, there's one moment that deserves a mention. On Tuesday morning, July 28th, things finally look up. The wind drops right out and goes glassy, and the sea state turns flat. The swell drops to about 4ft from the ENE, but that glassy surface will give you the cleanest waves of the whole forecast period. The combined energy is only (106), so it's not punchy, but if you're after a peaceful, super clean session on a longboard or a fun fish, this is your window.
Beyond that single window, the rest of the period is a write-off with the same cross-shore wind and mediocre conditions, even through to July 31st. It's a long haul of waiting it out. The change on the 28th is the only real highlight, but don't get too excited; it's just one morning before the breeze picks up again.
Alright, that's the story for now. Keep your eyes on the 28th.
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.
