The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Well, to be honest, looking at the whole 16-day window, I’m not stoked. The pattern is pretty grim. There’s a real lack of quality surf on offer for most of the run. The first real chance to even paddle out comes right at the start, but it’s a fleeting moment in an otherwise long, flat stretch.
The only spot that even gets a mention is Los Cocos. It’s a beach and jetty setup, and it’s fairly consistent, but the conditions are a total mess for most of the period. The wind is almost always cross-shore or cross, and the ratings are bottom-of-the-barrel.
The one bright spot, and I mean the only one, is the very first session. Sunday, July 26th, in the morning. We’ve got a tiny bit of swell from the NE at 3ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (62). But the wind is glassy offshore from the ESE at 3 mph. That’s the only window where the surface is clean. The water temp is 80°, which is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there. But that’s it. That’s the only standout. After that, the wind goes cross and the waves stay small and messy.
Sunday afternoon the wind goes cross, and the window is over. Then from Monday the 27th all the way through to Monday, August 10th, it’s just a long, sad run of poor surf conditions. The days are all marked “poor surf conditions” with cross-shore winds. The swell size stays small, mostly between 3ft and 5ft, but the wind ruins everything. The wave energy is weak to moderate at best.
For the last week, from August 4th onward, the swell picks up a bit, but the wind is still cross and the conditions are still described as poor. There’s nothing to get excited about. The setup is a beach/jetty, so with the persistent cross-shore breeze, it’s more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddle-surfing one.
So, if you’re set on getting wet, your only real shot is that glassy window on Sunday morning, July 26th. For the rest of the 16 days... 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.
