The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me break down what's on the table for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The first real chance of anything even remotely surfable doesn't show up until Saturday, August 1st. That's a solid 2-day gap of nothing but cross-shore chop and messy crud.
Los Cocos (beach/jetty)
The water is sitting at a warm 82°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only window that even gets a nod is Saturday morning, August 1st. We’ll see a small 4ft NE swell pushing in with a short 8-second period. The energy is weak, just (129), but the real story here is the wind. It’s dead calm – glassy. That’s a major positive. It will be clean, but the waves are going to be tiny and weak. Expect small, gutless lines. It's a "surfable but very ordinary" kind of day. The crowd factor is "sometimes," so you might find a few others out there hunting for the same scraps.
Saturday afternoon hangs on with a bit of glass, but the swell drops to 3ft and the energy is even weaker (114). Still, you could get a few if you’re desperate.
Now, for the rest of the forecast – from Sunday, August 2nd, all the way through to Thursday, August 13th, it’s a steady diet of cross-shore winds, funk, and poor surf. The swell bumps up a bit here and there (around 5ft to 6ft from the ENE), but the period stays short (6-8 seconds) and the wind never gets right. The combined energy climbs into the 200-300 range (moderate energy), but it’s all just crossed-up and messy. There’s a brief moment on Thursday morning, August 13th, where we get a little cross-offshore wind and a clean look at 3ft, but that’s about it.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a standout, Saturday morning, August 1st is your only real play. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the wind lets us breathe. The rest of it? Not worth paddling out for. Kite surfers might have a field day with the consistent cross-shore chop, but for a surfboard, it’s a long wait.
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.
