The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Los Cocos.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a tough stretch for surfers at Los Cocos. This is a beach/jetty setup exposed to the NNE, and while the optimum swell direction is from the NNE, the wind and swell combo just isn't lining up for us. Through the whole 16-day forecast window, the winds are locked in from the east or east-northeast, blowing cross-shore. That cross-shore breeze, combined with the wind state being described as building a cross-chop pretty much every day, is going to mess with the wave face. It’s going to be bumpy and hard to find a clean section.
We start with no surf on offer at all. The first hint of something passable isn't until Monday the 17th of August. From the 4th of August right through to the morning of the 17th, every single session is rated with poor surf conditions. That’s a long dry spell for nearly two weeks. The swell is around 4.3 ft to 4.9 ft most days, coming from the ENE with a short period of just 6 to 7 seconds, so there’s no real power or shape in the water. The combined wave energy stays in the weak to moderate range, peaking a little around the 14th to the 16th but still not enough to overcome the wind.
The only moment that even gets a “marginal” nod is the afternoon of Monday the 17th of August. The wind eases back to a light breeze from the east at 6 mph, still cross-shore, but lighter. Swell hangs around 4.9 ft from the ENE at 7 seconds. The energy reading is 224 – still moderate, but with lighter wind, it might just be rideable if you’re not too fussy. The water temperature is a warm 81.7°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprise there.
Honestly, for the rest of the window, the conditions and persistent cross-chop make Los Cocos look like a better bet for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The swell is there, but the quality for a proper surf is missing. It’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the trade winds don’t let up.
Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay poor forever. Stay keen.

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.
