The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’re looking at a bit of a flat spell for Los Cocos to kick things off, and honestly, the next couple of weeks aren’t shaping up to be anything to write home about. The main issue is that for days on end, we’ve got tiny, weak windswell mixing with a cross-shore breeze, and the wave comment keeps saying "poor surf conditions." It’s a real struggle.

Right now, and for most of the first week through to the 23rd of September, the swell is small and weak. We're looking at waves mostly around 3 to 4 ft, but the period is a short 6 to 7 seconds – just windslop, really. The combined energy is mostly in the double digits (between 59 and 167), so it's weak to moderate at best. The wind is almost always cross-shore, mostly from the ENE or E at 6 to 9 mph, which leaves a bit of chop on the surface. Not a good look. Even though the water temp is a warm 82° – pretty average for the time of year – the surf just isn’t there.

There is a tiny window on the morning of Thursday the 17th. The wind drops right out to glassy conditions, and we get a tiny 3 ft swell from the ENE. The comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." If you are desperate for a paddle and a few crumbly little rollers, that’s your best early shot. But honestly, with the energy at a weak 67, it’s not a standout.

Moving into the second week, from the 24th of September onward, the pattern stays stubborn. The swell stays small and weak, and the wind, while occasionally turning glassy, is mostly cross or light. The morning of Thursday the 24th goes glassy with a 3 ft ENE swell, but again the energy is only 83. The morning of Friday the 25th looks similar, glassy with 4 ft and energy at 98. Then the real highlight – if you can call it that – is the morning of Monday the 28th of September. Glassy conditions again, with a 4 ft ENE swell and the energy climbing to 133 (moderate). The comment is still just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's the best of a bad bunch, but it’s not a standout. The last gasp is Tuesday the 29th afternoon: the wind goes calm and glassy with a 4 ft ENE swell and energy at 152 (moderate). The comment finally reads "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That's the most promising moment in the whole 16 days.

The truth is, this beach/jetty setup is exposed to the NNE for optimum swell, but the swell is coming from the ENE all through. That mismatch is part of the problem. For a spot that’s "fairly consistent," this is a real dry spell. There's nothing here that’s going to get the heart pumping. If you’re a kiter, the consistent cross-shore wind might make for a better session than a paddle surfer. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.

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.
