The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. We're looking at a pretty lackluster stretch here at Los Cocos for the next couple of weeks. The water's sitting right around 81°, which is normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The main issue is the wind—it's just going to be cross-shore and messy pretty much the whole time.
Kicking off this Saturday the 15th, we've got some small, weak surf around 4ft, but the cross-onshore breeze is going to make it a bit of a battle. The energy's weak, only 167, and the waves will be short-period and all over the place. Sunday the 16th has a bit more size, up to 5ft, and the energy is moderate at 388, but it's still that cross-shore chop. It's more of a workout than a joyride.
Monday and Tuesday are more of the same, with the wind staying cross-shore and the surf bouncing around the 4-5ft mark. The energy drops back down into the low hundreds, and it's just poor conditions. This pattern holds for most of the first week, with the wind never giving us a break. By Thursday the 20th, we're still looking at small, junky waves.
Basically, the first week is a write-off. There's a little bump on Saturday the 22nd, but it's not enough. For most of this run, it looks more like it'll be a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day.
Now, as we get into the second week, things start to stir a little. Around Wednesday the 26th, the energy picks up to a moderate 319, with the swell holding around 6ft. It's still that short-period ENE windswell, but there's a bit more life in it. However, the wind remains cross-shore, so it'll still be lumpy.
The pick of the bunch, if you can call it that, looks like Thursday the 27th. The morning has a bit more size at 5ft, and the wind is a touch lighter. It's not going to be glassy, but it's the closest we'll get to something with a chance. But remember, that's a long way out, so don't book your day off just yet. The weekend after that looks like it fades again, with the energy dropping and the wind picking back up.
So there you have it. Not a great outlook. We've got waves, but they're mostly going to be a mess. Keep your eyes on the 26th and 27th if you're keen, but otherwise, maybe it's time to fix that blown-out fin.

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.
