The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in proper units.
We’re looking at a tough run for Los Cocos. This is a beach and jetty setup, exposed to the swell, but the conditions are just not cooperating for most of the forecast. Water temp is about 82°, which is pretty normal for this time of year—nothing wild.
Things start flat. From Sunday, August 30th, right through to the morning of Wednesday, September 9th, that’s a solid 10-day stretch with nothing worth a paddle. The swell is there—small, short-period stuff from 2ft to 5ft—but it’s all cross-shore wind, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” The combined energy is weak to moderate, with readings like 37 (weak) and 210 (moderate), but the wind ruins any chance of a decent wave. No shape, no power.
The first real chance comes on Wednesday morning, September 9th. Swell hits 5ft from the ENE, period is still short at 7 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a big deal. The combined energy hits 241 (moderate), and we finally see “expect good surf conditions.” It’s not a massive swell, but that glassy wind will make it clean and fun. The break is fairly consistent, so it’s worth a session. The optimum swell direction is NNE, so this ENE swell is a little off, but with clean conditions, it’ll still produce some nice, rippable waves. Beginners should be fine with 5ft, but keep an eye on the tide.
After that, it’s back to the same story. The afternoon of the 9th goes cross-shore again, and the rest of the forecast through to September 14th is a mix of poor to marginal conditions. We get a bit more size on the 10th and 11th, with swell up to 6ft and 6ft, and the combined energy hits 476 (moderate-strong) on the 10th morning, but the wind is cross-shore with a moderate cross-chop. It’s just not clean. At 6ft, it’s getting into the zone where beginners might want to sit it out, but with the chop, it’s not great for anyone.
The one standout is that glassy morning of Wednesday, September 9th. That’s your window. Get out there early.
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.
