The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty here. Let's skip the fluff and get into what Los Cocos is doing.
Honestly, for the first week or so, it's a write-off. Water temp is about 82°F, which is nothing unusual for now. The waves are tiny, weak, and short-period – coming from the ENE at around 3 ft with a period of only 6 seconds and barely any energy. Add a constant cross-shore breeze on top of that, and you've got a choppy, bumpy mess. Zero quality.
Things stay poor until around Thursday the 10th of September, and even then it's only barely surfable. The one bright spot in the whole 16 days appears on Friday morning the 11th. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a light SE breeze. The swell is still just 4 ft from the ENE with a 7-second period, but for a few hours it'll be clean. It's nothing special, just ordinary little waves.
The only time you’ll feel any real power is around Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th. Saturday the 12th morning the swell bumps up to about 6 ft from the ENE, with the period stretching to 8 seconds and the energy jumping to 347 – that's a solid kick of moderate power. It's still cross-shore, so it won't be perfect, but it's got some push. By the afternoon, it peaks at roughly 6 ft and 382 energy. That’s it. That's your best window.
After that, it fades back down. You get a morning of glassy conditions on Monday the 14th and another on Tuesday the 15th afternoon, but the swell drops to around 3 ft or less.
So here's the deal: if you're dead set on getting wet, Saturday the 12th of September is the only day that offers anything close to a proper wave. The swell hits 6 ft from the ENE with an 8-second period, and the energy (382) is the highest of the whole forecast. The wind is cross-shore, which messes up the face, but for size, that's it. Because it's a beach and jetty setup with a moderate breeze, it's honestly a better prospect for the kite surfers than for us. The break is fairly consistent though, so don't lose all hope – these forecasts can flip.
Stay stoked, but maybe stay dry for a while.
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.
