The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the coming weeks at Los Locos. This stretch is a classic NW swell magnet, and we’re looking at a solid run of surfable days, especially for a beginner-friendly spot like this. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a bit of a treat.
We kick off on Thursday, 27 August, but honestly, Thursday morning is a dud with tiny 1 ft NW swell, no energy (24), and glassy conditions—it’s pretty poor. Thursday afternoon isn’t much better, with 2 ft and a 9 mph onshore chop. The real story starts Friday, 28 August afternoon. That’s when the glassy glass sets in, with a 4 ft NW swell, 10-second period, and moderate energy (249). It’s clean, small, and perfect for a longboard or a learner’s session. Saturday morning, 29 August, is a beauty: 5 ft NW, glassy, 9-second period, and energy building to 291. It’s a solid choice for a fun paddle.
The standout comes on Monday, 31 August. Monday morning is glassy with 5 ft NW swell, 10-second period, and strong energy at 490. Monday afternoon is even better—6 ft NW, cross-off breeze, 10-second period, and very strong energy (598). This is the pick of the first week: clean, consistent, and punchy enough for a good time. The best option overall, though, points to Tuesday morning, 8 September. That’s a long-range standout: 6 ft NW swell, 11-second period, glassy offshore wind, and very strong energy at 814. It’s been a while coming, but this one has excellent potential for experienced surfers too, as it’s pushing past 5 ft. For beginners, it’ll be a bit of a handful, but for anyone with a bit of time in the water, it’s a cracker.
There’s a gap in the middle of the second week, from 3 September to 4 September, where the swell drops to 2 ft and energy’s weak (55-71). It’s surfable but ordinary. Then things rebuild from 5 September through to 9 September, with a slow climb back to 5 ft and good offshore winds. The stretch from 5 to 7 September is steady, but the real gem is that 8 September morning. On 10 September, we get a 7 ft NW swell with 9-second period and extreme energy (1020), but there’s light rain—still, it’s clean and excellent for experienced surfers only. After that, it fades again.
So, overall, Los Locos is serving up a solid run. The best on offer is that Tuesday morning, 8 September, with 6 ft NW, glassy, and heaps of energy. Don’t sleep on it, but remember, long-range stuff can shuffle a bit. Stay tuned.
Rusty.

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).
