The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming down the pike for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks. It’s a mixed bag, and we’re going to have to pick our moments, but there are a couple of windows that are gonna be worth the paddle out.

First off, we’re starting with a bit of a tease. The ocean’s got a little pulse, but it’s not all that together. We’ve got a couple of days of onshore and cross-off winds, and the swell is a bit jumbled. The water out at Los Locos is sitting at about 71° Fahrenheit, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Not a huge deal, but you might not need the thickest rubber.

Saturday the 5th kicks things off with a small NW swell, around 4ft to 5ft, but the ENE wind is going to have it a bit lumpy. The energy is moderate, but the quality is just not there yet. You’d be fighting it more than surfing it.

Sunday the 6th, the wind swings around to the west and it’s still not great. The swell backs off a touch, and it’s looking pretty poor. Not our day.

Monday the 7th is where things start to turn. The wind drops right out and it goes glassy. We’ve got a clean 2ft to 3ft WNW swell rolling in. It’s small, but the surface is clean, and with that long 14-second period from the groundswell, there’s some push behind it. It’s not big, but it’s clean. A log or a fish might be the call.

Tuesday the 8th is similar, small and clean in the morning, but the afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-shore breeze. Nothing special.

Then comes the standout. Wednesday the 9th. The swell fills in strong from the NW, hitting 5ft. The wind is cross-off from the NNW, which will keep the face reasonably clean. The energy meter is cranking, with a big jump in power. This is the most powerful swell of the window. The afternoon cleans up even more and the conditions look very good. If you can get out then, you’ll be rewarded.

Thursday the 10th is another good day. The swell eases slightly to 4ft, but we have a glassy morning with a light offshore in the afternoon. It’s clean and rideable. A solid choice if you missed Wednesday.

Friday the 11th is a bit of a dud, with the wind turning onshore and the swell dropping. Not worth the effort.

The weekend of the 12th and 13th is interesting. Saturday is small, just around 2ft, but with a clean offshore wind. Sunday the 13th brings a bit more size back, around 4ft, and it’s glassy in the morning. The period is a solid 12 seconds, so it has some shape.

After that, the wave heights start to fade and the periods get shorter. The week of the 15th onward is mostly small, knee-to-waist high stuff. The energy is low and the consistency drops. There are a few clean windows with offshore winds, but it’s not really going to get the heart rate up.

The long-range crystal ball is hazy. We’re looking at a lot of small, weak surf, and not much on the horizon. The swell energy is just not there to get anything proper going. We might see a slight uptick on the 16th, but that period from the north is only about 6 seconds, which is too short to get any real power. It’s going to be a bit of a flat spell, so if you get a chance to get out on the 9th or the 10th, I’d take it.

This is Rusty, signing off. Keep an eye on the buoys, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
