The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m looking at Los Cocos, a beach and jetty set-up that’s exposed to the swell. The water temperature here is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. The first solid recommendation doesn’t come until the 14th of August, so we’ve got a long gap of about twelve days with nothing worthwhile. From Sunday the 2nd right through to the morning of the 14th, it’s all poor surf conditions. The wind is cross-shore the whole time, and the wave energy is weak, with combined swell energy values sitting between 93 and 186, which is just not enough to get excited about. The swell is small, around 4 ft to 5 ft, and it’s coming from the ENE with a short period of 6 to 7 seconds, so the waves are going to be crumbly and weak.
The 14th of August morning shows a bit of a pulse. The swell picks up to 6 ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 400, which is moderate. Still, the wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit chopped. The quality is still rated as poor, so it’s not a standout. The 15th of August morning is similar, with 6 ft ENE swell, 8-second period, and 400 energy, but again with a moderate cross-shore wind. The 16th of August morning drops back to 6 ft, 7-second period, and 263 energy. Everything is rated poor surf conditions.
Given the consistent cross-shore wind and the beach/beach-and-reef setup, this whole stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The waves are just too weak and messy to bother with. There’s no standout day. The best you can hope for is the 14th or 15th of August, but even then, it’s not worth the paddle.

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.
