The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, listen up. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Los Locos, but you gotta be patient. The first real action kicks off this Thursday morning, the 10th of September. We’re looking at a clean 5ft NW swell, with a period of 10 seconds, and a light cross-off wind from the east. The water is sitting at a warm 69°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 374, so there’s a bit of push behind it. It’s not the biggest, but it’s clean and the consistency is there. This is a solid start.
Thursday afternoon gets even better. The wind swings to a full offshore from the NE at 9 mph, cleaning up the 4ft NNW swell nicely. Energy is still moderate at 257. This is your best bet for a fun, glassy session on Thursday.
Friday the 11th will be a quieter day in the water. The morning is glassy with a tiny 2ft NW swell, but the energy is weak at 102. Afternoon picks up a little with a 3ft NW swell and a clean offshore wind, but it’s pretty ordinary overall.
Now, the real standout is on Sunday the 13th. This is the one to circle. We’ve got a proper groundswell pushing in. Morning brings a 5ft NW swell with a beautiful 13-second period, and the energy is strong at 631. The wind is a light cross-off, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon is even better: 5ft NW swell, 12-second period, and a clean offshore wind. The energy is up at 634. This is a long-period swell, so the waves will have some real shape and power, with longer waits between sets. It’s a beauty of a session for anyone who can handle a bit of size.
Monday the 14th is still very good, with a 4ft NW swell and 12-second period, but the wind is a bit stronger. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are a write-off. Strong onshore and cross-shore winds will chop everything up. The swell is there, but it’s not worth paddling out for.
We get a bit of a reprieve on Thursday the 17th. The morning is a bit suspect with an onshore wind, but the afternoon turns it around. A 5ft NW swell with an 11-second period and a light cross-off wind from the NNE. Energy is strong at 626. It’s a good session, but the wind is a bit tricky.
After that, we have a long gap of ordinary to poor conditions, with only a few glimmers of hope. The standout in the second week is Sunday the 20th. The morning is glassy with a 4ft NW swell and a 13-second period, giving you strong energy at 463. That’s a clean, long-period groundswell that will be a treat on the sets.
Then, look at the very end of the forecast. On Friday the 25th of September, Los Locos gets a massive 12ft NNW swell with a 15-second period. The wind is glassy in the morning and offshore in the afternoon. The energy is a whopping 5093. This is a massive, powerful swell. But here’s the thing – it’s too big for this break. Only absolute experts should even think about it, and even then, it’s a gamble. The beach setup could be a washing machine, honestly more interesting for the kite surfers. For the average surfer, that’s a day to watch from the shore.
So, your best windows are Sunday the 13th and Thursday the 17th afternoon, with a sneaky good session on Sunday the 20th. Go get it.

Information about the Los Locos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Los Locos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Los Locos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Los Locos 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 Locos) 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 Locos 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.
