Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple weeks here are pretty quiet for the most part, but there’s a decent pulse of energy lurking in the distance. Let’s break it down day by day.

Right now, we’re looking at a long lull. From Wednesday the 8th right through to late on Monday the 20th, there’s nothing worth getting wet for. Small, weak swell and mostly messy wind. You’ll see knee-high slop at best, with combined wave energy barely reaching 89 (moderate energy) on the 11th, but the swell’s too small and the conditions are just ordinary. The wind’s often cross or cross-on, so expect ripples and chop. The first real standout doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 21st of July.

Alright, now let’s talk about the good stuff.

Los Locos – On Tuesday the 21st of July, the afternoon is where it finally kicks. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell out of the WNW, with a moderate energy reading of 839 (strong). That’s a proper pulse. The wind goes light out of the north, keeping things clean with a cross-off breeze. Swell period is 9 seconds, so it’s a decent mix of power and shape. This is going to be a fun, punchy wave. Not too big for intermediates, but definitely a step up. Crowds are often a factor here, so expect company.

Then Wednesday the 22nd of July is the real gem. Morning glass-off – absolutely dead calm, zero wind, and a 7ft NW swell rolling in with a combined energy of 578 (strong). That’s clean, lined-up surf with no wind to mess it up. This is the best of the window. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit more of a windswell feel, but the power is there and the conditions will be pristine. For the more experienced surfers, this is your call. The afternoon stays clean with a moderate offshore from the NE at 12 mph, dropping the swell a touch to 5ft but still very rideable.

A quick note on the water: At Los Locos, the water temperature is sitting at 71°F, which is over four degrees warmer than average for this time of year – that’s a nice bonus, you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit or even a shorty.

Through the rest of the week, things settle back down. Thursday the 23rd has a small 3ft glassy morning, but it’s weak (energy of 90) and only worth a quick session if you’re desperate. After that, it fades back to tiny, ordinary conditions.

So, the standout is Wednesday the 22nd of July, morning at Los Locos. That 7ft, glassy, clean NW swell is your best bet. Tuesday afternoon is also strong as a backup. Don’t bother before the 21st – it’s flat and forgettable.

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.
