The Lowdown
Alright, let’s size this up in feet and miles per hour for you.
Los Cocos is going through a long flat spell to start. From Tuesday the 25th of August right through to Saturday the 5th of September, it’s mostly cross-shore breezes, short-period swell at 6 to 7 seconds, and the surf quality is just poor. The combined swell energy sits in the moderate range – numbers like 109, 117, 207 – but the wind never really cleans the surface. That’s about 12 days of nothing special. Swell direction is predominantly ENE, a bit of NE, but with that short period, the waves don’t have any push or shape.
Come Sunday the 6th of September, things start to nudge. Swell runs around 4ft from the ENE, still short period, energy at 208. Not quite there yet.
The standout window opens Monday morning the 7th of September. The wind goes glassy out of the WSW at just 3 mph, and the swell holds at 5ft from the ENE. Combined energy is 221 – moderate but building. That’s the cleanest, most surfable moment of the whole forecast. Water temp is about average for this time of year. Crowds can sometimes show, so get in early.
Tuesday the 8th of September, another glassy morning with a light SE breeze at 3 mph. Swell bumps to 6ft from the ENE, energy at 281. That's a solid option for intermediates – not too big, not flat. Still, the 7-second period means the waves might not have much grunt, and on a beach setup like Los Cocos, shape can get a bit messy.
After that, it’s back to cross-shore chop Wednesday the 9th.
So the takeaway: sit through the first week plus, then aim for the morning of Monday the 7th or Tuesday the 8th. Not a classic run, but there’s a couple of windows worth chasing.

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.
