The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.
We're kicking off with a bit of a slow burner, but there's some real promise sneaking in. The water’s sitting at a nice 71°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice bonus.
The first standout is this coming Tuesday, the 1st of September. We’ve got a solid, clean 4 ft of NW groundswell rolling in with a good 10-second period. The energy is moderate, sitting at 318, and the wind is glassy in the morning. This is going to be a beauty of a session. The afternoon stays good, too, with a clean offshore breeze keeping things tidy. This is the pick of the whole forecast.
Wednesday the 2nd drops right off with weak, small waves, so you can sleep in. Thursday and Friday are pretty ordinary with small, weak surf, and the wind gets a bit nasty on Thursday afternoon. Friday is a write-off with poor conditions.
Then it starts to get interesting again. Saturday the 5th of September afternoon shows a proper pulse – 4 ft of NW swell with a long 12-second period. The energy jumps to a strong 430, and we get a solid offshore wind. This will be a proper groundswell, but remember those long periods can make it a bit tricky at a beach break; it might be running a little straight, but with that wind, it’ll still be good. Sunday the 6th morning is also looking ripe with 4 ft of that same long-period swell and glassy conditions.
We then hit a flat, poor patch from Monday the 7th until about Wednesday the 9th. The 9th has a brief spike of 5 ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-shore, making it messy.
The next proper window opens up on Thursday the 10th of September. Morning glass, 4 ft of NW swell – clean, fun, and very tempting. Friday the 11th afternoon also looks good with a clean, offshore wind and 4 ft of NW swell.
Saturday the 12th of September is the second real standout. The morning is clean with 4 ft of NW swell and good energy (330). The afternoon is even better with a steady 9 mph offshore wind and the same 4 ft swell. That’s a full day of clean waves.
After that, it’s a slow fade. Sunday the 13th is small and weak in the morning, then it gets poor. From Monday the 14th right through to Wednesday the 16th, it’s tiny, weak, and not worth paddling out. The last day, the 16th, is a total dud with barely a ripple.
So, if you're looking to score, your best bets are Tuesday the 1st, Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th, and then another solid window from Thursday the 10th through Saturday the 12th. The 12th afternoon is the absolute cream of the crop.

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).
