The Lowdown
Alright everyone, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for us. It’s a slow start, with a real dry spell to begin with. There’s not much to shout about for a few days.
Los Cocos is the only spot on the cards. It’s a beach and jetty that faces the swell. Water temp is about 80°, which is pretty much bang on for the season. The first time you might want to paddle out is Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. The swell is a messy 5ft from the ENE at 7 seconds, with a gentle cross-shore breeze. The wave energy is moderate at 243, but the conditions are just marginal.
After a quiet stretch, Thursday morning, the 27th of August, offers the best chance for a clean session. The swell drops to 3ft from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind turns light offshore from the ESE at 3 mph. It’s small and the energy is low at 110, but the surface will be glassy. A log would be the call.
Then there’s another lull until Monday morning, the 31st of August. That morning it’s glassy again, with a 3ft NE swell at 6 seconds and light airs. Still tiny, but at least it’s clean. For those chasing size, Wednesday the 2nd of September morning brings a 6ft ENE swell at 7 seconds, but with a 9 mph cross-shore wind, it’s going to be messy. Wave energy is 274, so there’s some grunt, but it’s not clean.
If you’re picking the best of it, Thursday the 27th of August morning is your window. It’s tiny, but with that light offshore breeze, it’s as clean as it gets. Bring a longboard. For more juice, Wednesday the 2nd of September morning has the size, but it’s going to be rough and better left to the experienced crew on a bigger board.
It’s a long, quiet run. Forecasts can always flip, but for now, it’s not looking great.
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.
Los Cocos is 0 km (0 miles) from Caraballeda. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Caraballeda. Caraballeda has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
