The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real. Los Locos is looking pretty flat and quiet for the next 16 days. The water's at 73°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can ditch the booties.
You're looking at a big dead spell from Friday the 7th all the way through Tuesday the 17th. We're talking knee-high slop and weak, gutless energy (maxing out around 108). Some mornings will be glassy, but with swell under 2 feet, it just won't have any push. Not worth the paddle.
The first sign of life shows up on Monday the 17th. The morning is glassy with a tiny 2ft NW swell, but the afternoon bumps up to a bit under 3ft. The energy gets into the moderate range, hitting 141, and we have a light offshore wind. It's clean and rideable, and it's the first thing that feels like a surf.
Tuesday the 18th is a different story size-wise. We're looking at 4ft to 4ft from the NW/NNW. The energy gets strong, hitting 367 by the afternoon. But the winds are a bit messy – a light cross-onshore in the morning turning to a light cross-shore. There's some lump to it. It's bigger, but not as clean.
Now, Thursday the 20th is the clear standout. This is the one to circle. The morning brings a solid 4ft NW groundswell with a long 11-second period, and it's glassy with a light offshore. Clean, lined up, and with real energy – the reading is a strong 329. This is exactly what Los Locos is built for. It's not huge, but the quality is there. The afternoon is still good, with 4ft and 348 energy, but that morning session is the one. It's your best bet all week.
After that, it fades back to fun, small, clean waves on Friday the 21st, but nothing special.
So, bottom line: don't bother for the first week and a half, then get ready for Thursday morning. That's your standout. For this spot, a 4ft NW groundswell with light offshore winds is about as good as this stretch gets.
Rusty out.

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.
