The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window for Los Cocos, and if I’m being straight with you, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating run. The first two weeks are basically a write-off for any kind of decent surf. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions all the way through to the 14th of August. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is hanging cross-shore the whole time, which is just a recipe for chop and frustration. There’s no real stand-out session in that first week or so.
The only flicker of something worth talking about shows up on Saturday the 15th of August. The morning brings a bit more push with the swell hitting 6ft from the ENE, and the period finally stretches to 8 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to 430 (moderate energy), which is the most we’ve seen the whole period. But even then, the wind is still a persistent cross-shore from the ENE at 9 mph, so it’s not going to be glassy. The forecast calls it "marginal," and honestly, that’s about right. It’s a chance to get wet, but the quality won’t be there. For a beach/jetty setup like Los Cocos, that period is still a bit short for proper shape, and the cross-shore breeze will keep it bumpy.
After that, it fades away again. By Monday the 17th, we’re back to tiny 3ft waves and weak energy, dropping into the 80s by Tuesday the 18th. If you’re a beginner, steer clear of the 15th – that 6ft is gonna be a handful in those conditions. Honestly, for most of this stretch, it looks like a better setup for a kite session than a paddle session, given the persistent cross-breeze and small, weak swell.
So, the one and only highlight is that Saturday the 15th, and even then, keep your expectations low. The rest of the 16 days is a long, quiet gap.

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.
