The Lowdown

Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s on the cards for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, so let’s get straight into it.

We’ve got a pretty lean run to kick things off. For the best part of a week, from Sunday the 23rd right through to the end of the following Thursday, the 27th of August, it’s mostly going to be flat or just small and messy. You’ll see the odd knee-high ripple with a swell energy reading of just (69) to (37), but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. The wind is mostly light, with a few glassy moments, but the swell just isn’t there. It’s gonna be a disappointing stretch, honestly.

Now, look ahead to Friday morning, the 28th of August. That’s where it finally lights up. We’re talking a solid 7ft swell out of the NW, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to (1086), indicating moderate to strong wave energy. And the conditions? Near perfect. Glassy, clear skies. That’s the standout of this whole outlook, right there. It’s a bit on the bigger side, so it’s going to be more for experienced folks comfortable on a 7ft wave. Great stuff.

The action keeps going into the morning of Saturday the 29th. A clean 6ft NW swell, still glassy, and the energy is strong at (542). Another excellent session on the cards. The afternoon stays rideable, too, with a clean 5ft NW swell.

Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st of August are still worth a paddle, with clean 4ft and 3ft NW swells early. The energy’s dropped back into the hundreds, but the winds are light to glassy so it'll be clean.

After that first week of September, the energy fades again. We get into a few days of smaller, weaker stuff. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd have knee-high waves with very low energy readings (75) and (40). There’s a little clean window mid-week, but it’s nothing to write home about. A bit of swell pops back on Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September, around 3ft out of the NW, with a longer period of 10 seconds, giving us some cleaner shapes but the energy is still only moderate, around (147).

The last few days look poor again, with stronger winds ruining the shape from Sunday the 6th. Then, on Monday the 7th of September, the wind really cranks up to 40-45 km/h. The swell is over 3ft, but with that strong cross and cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be messy. Honestly, with that much wind and a beach setup, you might be better off dusting off the kite.

If you can get on it, the clear winner is that Friday morning, August 28th. That’s the one. The water’s sitting at 73°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Rusty, out.

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.

Los Locos is 10 km (6 miles) from Torrelavega. If you plan a holiday in Spain - Cantabria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Torrelavega. Torrelavega has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
