Table - best surf conditions forecast for Los Cocos over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Straight up, this is gonna be a tough stretch for a wave at Los Cocos. The forecast is pretty grim, with a long blank run of poor conditions that stretches from Friday the 10th of July all the way through to at least Tuesday the 21st. We’re looking at a solid gap of nearly two weeks with no real surf on offer, so don’t bother paddling out unless you just want a float.
The problem is a persistent cross-shore wind from the east and east-northeast, blowing at 12 to 13 mph all day, every day, chopping up the swell. The waves that do show up are weak, with combined swell energy sitting between 93 and 264, so nothing with any punch. The swell height hangs around 3 ft to 6 ft, but it’s coming from the ENE at a short period of just 6 to 8 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so it’s gutless and messy. The water temp is a warm 81°F, about average for this time of year with only a 0.4°F anomaly, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit for the long wait.
Now, the one spot that was highlighted is Los Cocos, a beach and jetty setup. It’s fairly consistent, but that doesn’t mean much when the conditions are this poor. For almost the entire 16-day window, the forecast is calling it “poor surf conditions.” There’s a couple of days – Tuesday the 14th of July afternoon and Saturday the 25th of July afternoon – that the data calls “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” scoring a 1 out of 10, but that’s still not worth your time. The wind stays cross-shore, never turning offshore, and the swell direction (ENE) is the opposite of the optimum NNE direction for this break, so it’s not wrapping in clean.
There’s honestly nothing to recommend here. The waves are too weak, too short-period, and too wind-affected for any decent paddle surfing. The beach setup with this onshore chop is more interesting for kite surfing than for us wave hunters. Maybe check back closer to the 25th of July, but even then it’s just marginal at best. Don’t hold your breath. For now, the surf’s dead. Stay patient.
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.
