The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here again. Let’s size this up in feet and miles per hour for you guys.
To be honest, this forecast for Los Cocos is a real bummer. The north-east swell tries to show up, but a constant cross-shore wind just tears it all apart. We’ve got a long, tough stretch ahead. There’s one tiny window of clean surf early on, and a bigger, rougher pulse at the very end. That’s about it.
The first surf worth mentioning is from Monday, September 14th, but it’s ugly. We’re looking at tiny swell of 3 to 4ft from the ENE with a short, weak period of 6 seconds and weak energy. The 9 to 15 mph cross-shore wind has the surface all chopped up. Total write-off.
That same story repeats day after day. Tuesday the 15th, Wednesday the 16th, Thursday the 17th, Friday the 18th—all the same: small, weak, and cross-chop mess. The energy gets a bit stronger on the 18th and 19th, but the wind doesn't let up. It’s all “poor surf conditions.”
We get one little break on Sunday morning, September 20th. The wind drops light and goes offshore, so the surface cleans up nicely. The comment says it’s “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The swell is a tiny 3ft from the ENE at 6 seconds, so don’t expect any power, but it might be the only clean wave you see all week. Get out there early before the afternoon storms.
Then it’s back to the desert. Monday the 21st through Thursday the 24th is a flat, messy disaster.
The real action, if you can call it that, is the final weekend. Saturday, September 26th and Sunday, September 27th see the swell jump to a solid 5ft from the ENE, with the period stretching to 7 seconds. The wave energy gets into the moderate range. The wind looks lighter, especially Sunday morning with a slight air around 3 mph. The catch? The call is “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” That size with that short period is going to be a bumpy, closed-out mess. This one is experts only if you’re desperate for a paddle.
The takeaway: The whole 16 days is a grind. Your best bet for a clean but tiny wave is the early morning of Sunday, September 20th. The only size comes on the 26th and 27th, but it’s rough and only for the experienced crew. For the rest of us, it’s a good time to wax the longboard and just stare at the horizon.

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.
