The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Los Locos.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and often messy conditions. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Wednesday, the 19th of August, and that’s over a week away, so keep your expectations in check for now.
We start off this Saturday morning, the 8th, with tiny 1ft waves from the NNE. The wind is offshore, but the swell is so weak (combined energy of just 18) that it’s barely a ripple. The water is a warm 72°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’s comfortable for a float. Saturday afternoon is even smaller, dropping to 0.7ft. Sunday the 9th sees a slight bump to 2ft from the NW, but the wind swings cross-on, ruining any chance of clean waves. The pattern continues through the week: small swells, mostly under 3ft, with poor conditions. There are a few windows of glassy conditions on the mornings of Monday the 10th, Tuesday the 11th, and Wednesday the 12th, but the swell is tiny and weak, making it more of a longboard or training session than anything to get excited about. The whole stretch from now until the 18th is just a waiting game.
Now, the standout window. The real action starts to build on Wednesday morning, the 19th of August. The swell finally kicks up to 4ft from the NNW, and we’ve got light offshore winds from the NE. The wave energy jumps to 471, which is a solid step up. This is the best the forecast has to offer for a while. The afternoon gets even better, with the swell building to 6ft, still from the NNW, and a clean offshore breeze. The combined energy hits 650, and the report says "expect very good surf conditions." This is the highlight of the whole 16-day outlook. Thursday the 20th holds that 6ft swell in the morning, with clean cross-offshore winds, and the energy is still strong at 540. It’s a solid two-day window. The afternoon of Thursday sees the wind pick up a bit, but it’s still offshore, with waves at 5ft. After that, the swell fades quickly, and we’re back to small stuff.
So, if you’ve got patience, the days to circle are Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th. That’s your best chance for a proper session. The rest of the run is a long, slow wait.
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.
