The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got the look ahead for Los Locos. This spot is a consistent, beginner-friendly break that's dialed into a NW swell, which is exactly what it wants. The water's sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus.
The pattern starts off a bit average, but there's a real standout window coming. Friday the 28th afternoon is a bit of a tease with chest-high 4ft sets from the NW and a clean cross-off breeze, but it's not the best of the run.
That honour goes to Monday the 31st. The morning is looking magic – glassy conditions, 5ft of NW groundswell with a solid 10-second period, and the combined energy is a solid moderate 520. That's your pick of the forecast. The afternoon holds up just as well with a clean cross-off wind and swell still pumping at 538 energy. This is the session to circle.
Sunday the 30th is a bit of a write-off with cross-shore wind ripples, and Tuesday the 1st of September has a glassy morning with 4ft surf, but it's not quite as punchy as the Monday.
After that, the swell drops off fast. From Wednesday the 2nd through to the 6th, we're looking at weak, small waves, mostly under 3ft, and the energy drops into the double digits. It's ordinary. The 6th sees a bit of a bump in swell to 4ft, but the wind is onshore and choppy, so it's a no-go for paddling – more of a kite session if anything.
The second week is pretty quiet. Around the 7th and 8th, there's a tiny pulse of NW swell, but the wind is messy and the energy is low. The 9th and 10th bring a bit more size, but the period is short and the wind is still not ideal. The 11th has some moderate energy but the wind is up, making it marginal. The last few days, the 12th, are tiny and weak again.
The long range has a couple of small windows on the 10th and 11th, but with short period and onshore wind, it's not worth getting excited about yet. The real standout is Monday the 31st – that's the time to go.

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.
