Table - best surf conditions forecast for Los Locos over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s size up the local scene at Los Locos for the next couple of weeks.
Don’t go rushing out for the first week or so. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell that’s going to try your patience. The water is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so at least it’s comfortable for a float.
The first real chance of anything rideable comes on the afternoon of Monday, July 22nd, but it’s still cross-onshore and messy. The big standout is going to be Thursday, July 23rd. The morning brings a solid 7ft NW swell, but it’s a bit bumpy. The afternoon is the real deal though. The same 7ft NW swell is pulsing, but the wind switches to a light cross-offshore from the NNW, giving you clean, lined-up waves. The energy is pumping (580), and with a period of 8 seconds, you’ll get some proper push. That’s expert-only territory at that size, and crowds are common here, so plan accordingly.
The swell drops off after that, with a clean but smaller 3ft NW swell on Saturday morning, July 25th, under glassy conditions. A solid session for the less ambitious.
Bottom line: the first week and a half is mostly a write-off. The one true standout is the afternoon of Thursday, July 23rd at Los Locos. That’s where you want to be. Everything else is just filler.
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.
