The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in with the local outlook for Los Locos. Let’s talk about what’s coming our way.
Overall, the next 16 days look pretty quiet. There’s a little bump of energy around the 6th, but honestly, for the most part, we’re looking at small, weak surf. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 72°, which is a nice bonus.
We’re starting off flat. The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday, August 1st. It’s not much to write home about, with a small 2 ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is offshore from the NE at 9 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is weak at 56, so you’ll be scratching for waves. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
The next few days from Sunday the 2nd through to Wednesday the 5th are a total write-off. The swell drops to nothing, wind is all over the place, and the scores are zeros. You’re better off doing something else.
Thursday the 6th brings a little life. The morning shows a glassy 3 ft swell from the NW, with the combined energy jumping to 144 (moderate). The wind is glassy off the ENE, making for clean conditions. The afternoon holds that 3 ft with a steady offshore NE breeze at 9 mph. This is the best we’ve got in the whole forecast. It’s still small, but it’s clean.
The 7th keeps the small stuff going, with a clean 3 ft from the NNW in the morning, and a moderate offshore breeze in the afternoon. Still, it’s nothing special.
From the 8th to the 12th, we’re back to poor conditions or very weak surf. The 10th of August has a glassy 2 ft morning with a calm wind, and the afternoon offers a moderate offshore at 12 mph, but the swell is tiny and weak.
The 13th through the 16th of August is a sad end to the window. The swell barely registers, with a lot of onshore or cross-shore wind. The 16th sees a bump in energy to 157 (moderate) with a 4 ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is cross-shore, making it choppy and ugly. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-offshore wind, but it’s still a poor day.
So, if you’re desperate, the 6th of August is your best bet. It’s glassy, it’s clean, and there’s a little bit of energy. But don’t expect anything epic. The rest of the window is just a waiting game.
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.
