The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for us at Los Cocos. It’s a bit of a tough stretch we’ve got ahead, so let’s be straight about it.
The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The next week and a half is a real grind. Through the 19th all the way to the 25th of July, the surf is just poor. The wind is never on our side – constant cross-shore breezes from the east at 9 to 12 mph, chopping everything up. We’ve got some swell height, 3 ft to 5 ft, but with a short period of just 6 to 7 seconds and poor conditions flagged for every session, there’s nothing to get excited about. The wave energy sits around 207 on Sunday the 19th, dropping into the weak zone below 100 by the 25th. It’s not even worth paddling out for this.
We don't get a real shot until Sunday the 26th of July. For the morning and afternoon, the wind goes glassy from the ESE at just 3 mph. That’s a big positive. The swell is smaller though, only 3 ft from the NE with a short 6-second period. The combined energy is down at 67. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Monday the 27th morning offers another glassy window with 3 ft waves, but again, pretty weak. This is our only real window for a paddle, but you’ll need low expectations.
Beyond that, from the 28th of July all the way through to the 3rd of August, it’s back to the same story: cross-shore winds, poor to marginal surf, and very little energy. The swell barely gets back to 4 ft on the 31st with 196 energy (moderate), but the wind ruins any chance of it being clean.
If the conditions get a bit cleaner on one of those days where the swell is over 3 ft, it might look like a decent spot for kite surfing, because the waves aren’t doing us any favours for a proper surf.
Standout call: If you are desperate, Sunday the 26th and Monday morning the 27th are your only windows. Glassy conditions will make the most of that tiny 3 ft to 3 ft swell, but honestly, don't expect much.
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.
