Los Cocos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty.

I’ll level with you—it’s going to be a tough stretch for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long period of small, weak, short-period swell, and a constant cross-shore breeze is gonna make a mess of things. The water temp is right around average for this time of year at 82°F, so nothing unusual there.

The pattern starts off ugly. From the 15th right through to the morning of the 17th, the surf is practically unrideable with that short, 6-second wind swell and choppy conditions. You’ll be staring at a flat, messy lake. The first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday the 17th morning. Los Cocos should have some small but rideable 3ft waves from the NE, and with a light offshore breeze, it’ll be actually clean. It’s not pumping, just "surfable." That window is tight, though—by afternoon the wind swings back onshore and ruins it.

We get another little tease on Sunday the 20th. The morning has clean 3ft waves with a light offshore touch, and even the afternoon holds up with 3ft and clean conditions. Both sessions are small, but if you’re desperate for a slide, that Sunday is your best bet in the first week.

After that, it’s back into the doldrums. From the 21st right through the 28th, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and that cross-shore wind is a constant buzzkill. The combined wave energy barely cracks 100 (in the 104–187 range) which tells you it’s weak, weak, weak.

Now, here’s a little flicker of something interesting way out there. On Tuesday the 29th morning, there’s a sudden shift. We get a long-period groundswell, 12 seconds, rolling in from the NNW. It’s only 1ft, but with glassy conditions, Los Cocos might actually offer a clean, lined-up little wave. It’s a mellow option for a longboard or a foiler. Then on Wednesday the 30th morning, we get another glassy session with 3ft from the ENE—still small, but clean.

The standout of the whole 16-day window? Honestly, nothing is a true standout. If I had to pick, I’d say Thursday the 17th morning and Sunday the 20th are the most reliable of the first week. For the second week, the Tuesday 29th morning is the most interesting if you’re chasing that glassy, long-period feel. That's the one to keep an eye on, but don’t hold your breath.

This area is seeing a pretty normal blank run. It’s a tough stretch, but the forecasts can flip quick.

Rusty.
