The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a solid run ahead at Los Locos. This spot is exposed to the north-west and it’s a consistent beginner-friendly break, but when it gets bigger it’ll test the more experienced. Water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
The action kicks off Sunday the 13th with clean 4ft NW swell, period at 13 seconds – proper groundswell energy. Wind is light cross-off in the morning, so expect nice lines. Combined energy is a solid moderate 563. Sunday afternoon holds with a clean 5ft and moderate offshore breeze. It’s not huge but the quality is there.
Monday the 14th drops a touch to 4ft but stays clean with that NW pulse hanging in. Still good, still surfable.
Tuesday the 15th sees the swell fade, dropping to 2ft and getting messy with cross-on wind. Combined energy drops to 98 – weak. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 16th brings a bump in height to 4ft but the wind is cross-on and there’s light rain. Combined energy is back up to 260, but the quality is poor. Marginal at best.
Thursday the 17th is similar – 5ft NW swell but cross-on wind again. Energy hits 651 but it’s still messy.
Now here’s the standout. Friday the 18th afternoon. The swell jumps to 8ft from the NW, period stretching to a very long 16 seconds. Combined energy rockets to 2588 – strong. The wind goes cross-off and it’s clean. This is for experienced surfers only – too big for beginners. This is the best session of the run, no doubt.
Saturday the 19th keeps the quality high. Morning is glassy, 8ft NW swell, 13-second period, combined energy at 1961. Another expert-level session with absolutely clean conditions. Afternoon stays solid at 7ft with offshore wind.
Sunday the 20th drops to a more manageable 6ft, clean with cross-off wind. Energy still good at 701. Very good surf.
Monday the 21st morning is glassy again, 6ft NW swell, 13-second period. Energy is strong at 1108. The afternoon turns cross-on though, so get out early.
Tuesday the 22nd is mixed but the afternoon cleans up nicely – 5ft with cross-off wind, energy at 705. Very good.
Wednesday the 23rd holds steady. Morning is 4ft and clean, afternoon bumps to 6ft with offshore wind. Energy climbs to 773. Good quality all day.
From Thursday the 24th onward the swell drops. 3ft on Thursday morning, clean but small. Friday the 25th stays small at 3ft. Saturday the 26th is tiny – 2ft, glassy but barely rideable.
Sunday the 27th is flat and poor, 1ft and cross-on. A real lull.
But hold on – Monday the 28th picks up again. Morning is glassy with a 3ft NW groundswell, period at a very long 14 seconds. Energy is 384. Afternoon gets better – 4ft NW, 13-second period, gentle offshore wind, energy 521. Very good conditions to close out the outlook.
So if you’re after the best, get on Friday the 18th afternoon or Saturday the 19th. Big, clean, powerful NW groundswell with light winds. Monday the 21st morning is also a gem if you want a slightly smaller, glassy session. Crowds are often a thing here, especially when it’s good, so get there 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.
