The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Los Locos is your spot for the next couple of weeks, and it’s shaping up to be a ripper of a run. For a beginner-friendly spot, the consistency of swell and those clean windows is something to get excited about. Water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We kick things off this Saturday the 12th, but don't get your hopes up for a paddle. The swell is tiny, only 1 ft to 2 ft from the WNW and NW, with weak energy (34 to 45). It's small and ordinary, so you’re better off waiting.

Sunday the 13th is where it gets real interesting. We’ve got a solid 5 ft northwest groundswell rolling in, with a long period of 13 seconds dropping to 12 seconds. The energy jumps right up to moderate levels (578 to 580), and the morning has light cross-offshore winds promising clean conditions. This is a standout session for anyone, especially beginners, as the size is comfortable. The crowd factor is there though – it’s marked as “often” busy, so expect company in the lineup.

Monday the 14th keeps the fun going with 3 ft to 4 ft of clean NW swell, period still hanging around 11 to 12 seconds. Energy drops a bit (224 to 334), but it’s still good waves, especially with that offshore breeze in the arvo.

Things go a bit ragged Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th. The wind turns cross-on from the west, and the quality drops out on the 15th, with bumpy, choppy conditions. Wednesday picks back up a bit with a light cross-offshore NW breeze, but the period drops to 7 seconds – short period slop for a morning surf.

Now, this is the pick of the first week: Thursday morning the 17th. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the NW, with a solid 11 second period, and combined energy pushing strong at 609. More importantly, it’s completely glassy with no wind. That’s as clean as it gets at Los Locos. Friday the 18th is also a cracker – 5 ft to 6 ft NW swell, long 12 second periods, and strong wave energy (531 to 910). Friday afternoon has a gentle offshore breeze, making the 6 ft waves clean but getting a bit hefty for beginners – more of a fun size for intermediates.

We hit a bit of a lull over the weekend of the 19th and 20th, with a messy cross-shore wind and marginal conditions. The swell holds around 4 ft to 6 ft, but the quality is ordinary.

Now, here’s the long-range standout. Mark your calendar for Friday the 25th of September. This is a proper event. We’re looking at 8 ft to 8 ft of NW groundswell, with a very long 14 second period. The energy is massive, hitting 2795 and 2164 – a big jump. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only, as over 8 ft is too big for learners. The morning session is glassy and clean, and the afternoon has a moderate offshore wind. This is a real highlight of the outlook, though being ten days out, treat it as a promising forecast that could shift.

The window closes out on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th with cleaner conditions returning with 5 ft to 5 ft NW swell, but the wind turns cross-on again on Sunday.

All up, the best bets for a clean, fun surf are the mornings of Sunday the 13th, Thursday the 17th, and Friday the 18th. Groms and beginners should stick to the smaller Sunday session. For the confident crew, the 25th is the big one to keep an eye on. Most of these sessions see “often” crowds, so get in early.

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.

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.
