The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, with the long-range look at what we've got coming down the pipe for our little corner of the coast.
To be honest, the story for the next two weeks is pretty grim. We’re looking at a big, fat zero on the surf quality scale for the vast majority of the period. The swell is there, but it’s weak, short-period windswell. The energy readings are all over the place, mostly in the low to mid hundreds (like 185 to 43), but combined with the wrong wind direction, it’s just a recipe for slop. The wind is almost constantly a cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze, which is just enough to mess up any chance of a clean face. There’s no real standout, no day to circle on the calendar. It’s a rough stretch.
We are looking at a gap of about 15 days before we see anything that might be worth a look. If you’re desperate, the very last session in the forecast might offer a sliver of hope. On Saturday, September 26th in the afternoon, the swell bumps up just a touch to 5 ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy will be a solid 225, which is the peak of the whole 16 days. The wind might ease off to a light 3 mph cross-shore. It’s still only a 1 out of 10 situation, described as “marginal.” It won't be pretty, but if you’re absolutely jonesing, that’s the one window where the conditions might be slightly less ugly.
So for now, keep the board in the car, but don't expect much else. The water is sitting at a warm 82°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least the wait won't be cold.
Keep an eye on the sky, because this kind of run doesn't usually last forever.
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.
