The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the first week is a bit of a flat spell. From the 14th to the 19th, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves—mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft—with combined swell energy barely breaking into double digits (8 to 45). The water is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pleasant enough for a paddle, but not for much else. You’ll be waiting for a proper wave. The winds are generally light and offshore or clean through the mornings, but with no swell to work with, it’s a waiting game.

Then things finally start to pick up around the 20th. Monday afternoon sees a spike to 5 ft from the NE, with a combined energy of 211 (moderate energy) and moderate offshore winds. That’s your first real chance to get a wave, and it’s looking pretty clean. The 21st is the standout of the first week. Tuesday afternoon brings a solid 6 ft NE swell, period of 7 seconds, and a combined energy of 314 (moderate), with a gentle offshore NNE breeze. That’s clean, lined-up surf at Los Locos. It’s a consistent, exposed spot that loves a NW swell, and this NE direction is working just fine. Expect a few waves, but keep an eye on the crowds—this place can get busy.

After that, the swell drops back a bit on the 22nd and 23rd, with 3 ft to 3 ft waves and cleaner offshore winds, but it’s very ordinary. The real talk comes later.

Now, at the very end of the window, around the 27th and 28th, there’s a bigger pulse. But it’s a messy one. The 24th and 25th see a long-period NW groundswell (14 seconds) building, hitting 7 ft on the 25th morning with a combined energy of 855 (strong). The problem is the wind goes cross-on from the WNW, so it’s going to be choppy and lumpy. That’s only for the experts, as anything over 8 ft is getting heavy, but this is right on the edge. The 27th afternoon is your best bet from this late run: 5 ft from the NW, period of 9 seconds, with clean cross-off winds from the north and a combined energy of 506 (strong). That’s a serious session for the crew who know the spot.

For the beginners, keep it to the smaller days around the 20th and 21st. The 25th at 7 ft is too big for you. For the experienced crew, the 27th afternoon is the pick of the forecast, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on the updates.

Stay stoked, and I’ll see you out there.

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.
