The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again with the same outlook in feet and miles for those who think in different numbers.
The water temp at Los Locos is sitting at about 72°F to start, which is a touch warmer than usual for late August.
We’ve got a slow start on Sunday the 30th. It’s a 4ft cross-shore NW swell with rain, and wave energy is only around 313. Not worth paddling out.
Monday the 31st is where it’s at. Morning glass, clean 6ft NW swell with a 10-second period. Energy jumps to 586. The afternoon stays clean with 6ft and offshore wind. This is the best early session.
Tuesday the 1st is still good – 4ft glassy in the morning, clean in the afternoon.
Wednesday and Thursday go small – 2ft to 3ft NW swell, barely any energy. Skip it.
Friday the 4th morning is poor, but the afternoon cleans up with 4ft NW swell and a long 12-second period. Energy is 388.
Saturday the 5th is for the crew that likes it big. 7ft to 8ft NW swell, 13-second period, energy of 1623. That’s heavy groundswell. Clean with cross-off wind. Not for beginners.
Sunday the 6th holds at 4ft to 4ft, clean with moderate energy.
Then a long lull from Monday the 7th through Friday the 11th – small, weak 2ft to 3ft swell, mostly poor wind. Not much to report.
Saturday the 12th picks up again – 5ft to 5ft NW swell with 10-11 second periods, energy back to 548-707. Offshore wind in the afternoon makes for a very good session.
Sunday the 13th is tricky. Morning is small with onshore wind, but the afternoon jumps to 8ft NW swell with a 12-second period and energy of 1880. That’s huge, but cross-shore wind makes it tricky – only for experts.
Monday the 14th is the final gem. Glassy calm, clean 8ft NW swell, 11-second period, energy of 1211. Perfect conditions for the experienced surfer.
So your best bets are Monday the 31st for clean fun, and Saturday the 5th and Monday the 14th for the big, powerful stuff. The flat spell from the 7th to 11th is a drag, but the good days are solid.
Stay wet,
Rusty

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.
