The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Los Locos over the next 16 days.
Right off the bat, we're in for a long, flat spell. From Wednesday 15 July right through to Sunday 19 July, there's barely a ripple – the water's dead flat, with tiny ankle‑slappers and no energy to speak of. That's a solid five days of nothing. The water temp is sitting at 70.3°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
The first real glimpse of anything surfable comes on Monday 20 July morning. A small NE swell pushes in at 3.6 ft, with a short period of 6 seconds, but the wind is light offshore from the NNE at 3 mph, so the surface is clean. The combined energy is moderate (133). It's not perfect – the swell direction is a bit off (optimum is NW), and the short period means it'll be a bit lumpy, but it's the best we've seen. Expect crowds to be likely,

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.
