The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same read but in feet and miles per hour. Let’s get into it.
Water’s running about 70°, which is right where it should be for this time of year—nothing out of the ordinary.
We start slow. Monday the 7th is the first chance, but it’s only about 2ft from the WNW with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 258. It's glassy, so a log will get you a few soft rides. Tuesday the 8th gets chopped up with a cross-onshore breeze, making it a no-go. Wednesday the 9th through Friday the 11th stays small and messy.
Saturday the 12th is flat. Then Sunday the 13th... that’s your first real standout. Swell bumps up to 5ft to 6ft from the NW, period at 13 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to strong (759) in the morning and very strong (1042) by afternoon. The wind goes offshore, glassy and clean. This is a consistent beginner-friendly break, but at 6ft it’s getting a bit much for true beginners. Clean, lined-up waves with that long-period push—this is the day to be out there.
Monday the 14th still has good 5ft leftovers from the NW at 12 seconds, energy drops to moderate (570), but still clean and fun.
The next week brings smaller, wind-touched surf until we get the second big pulse. Sunday the 21st morning we’ve got 7ft from the NNW at 12 seconds, glassy, and a very strong energy of 1327. Monday the 21st afternoon holds at 7ft with clean offshore wind. That’s big, powerful swell—over 8ft is only for experts, so this is in the expert range. Expect a crew out there, because "often" is the word for crowds, and on these clean, chunky days, the lineup will be busy.
Bottom line: Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are your best bets for cleaner, more manageable waves. For the big dogs, Sunday the 21st and Monday the 22nd are the real deal, but only if you’ve got the skills.
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.

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.
