The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The next couple of weeks are mostly flat and quiet, but there’s a little something to look forward to if you’re patient.
The first real chance to get wet won’t be until Thursday the 6th. We’ll see surf around 3 ft out of the NNW, with a moderate energy reading (154 – 164). It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s surfable. The morning is your best bet with a light offshore ENE wind, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon stays similar, with the wind shifting a bit to NE. Just ordinary, but you can get a few if you’re not picky.
Friday the 7th is a tease. The morning offers glassy 2 ft waves from the NNW, and it’s completely clean. It’s weak though, only a (56) energy reading, so it’s all about small, clean lines. The afternoon wind picks up from the NE at around 12 mph, which blows it out a little, but it stays offshore. Not a total loss, but keep the hopes low.
We’ve got a real lull from Saturday the 8th through Monday the 10th. The swell drops and the wind turns messy. You’ll see 2 ft waves, but with cross-shore and cross-on winds, it’s going to be bumpy and uninviting. Sunday the 9th looks especially choppy with a WNW cross-onshore at 12 mph. Good time to catch up on other things.
The next glimmer comes on Tuesday the 11th. Early morning has a clean 2-3 ft from the NNW with a light offshore NE wind. The energy is still modest (135), but it has a bit more push. The afternoon gets windier, but the NE offshore keeps it clean. Still small, but a step up from the earlier junk.
Then we’re back into flatness. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th see the swell fade to 1 ft, with nothing really happening. The winds are light and clean, but there’s just no wave. Friday the 14th is more of the same with tiny swell and glassy conditions, but the period drops to 4 seconds, which is pretty useless.
Now, if you’ve got some patience, Saturday the 15th is the standout of this whole run. The morning brings a clean 3 ft from the NW with a light ENE cross-off wind. The energy jumps to (207), the strongest we see in the entire period, and the conditions look promising. This is the one to circle. The afternoon is slightly bigger at 3-4 ft, but the wind cranks up to 16 mph offshore, making it a bit harder to manage.
Sunday the 16th is a letdown after that. The swell holds at 3 ft from the NW, but the WNW cross and cross-on winds will mess up the surface. It’ll be bumpy and less fun. Monday the 17th is better early with glassy 3 ft waves from the NW, and the energy is still moderate (108–117), but it fades fast. After that, Tuesday and Wednesday are back to tiny, weak waves under 1-2 ft.
So, there you have it. The pick is clearly the morning of Saturday the 15th. It’s the biggest, cleanest, and most energetic swell we see. The morning of Thursday the 6th and Tuesday the 11th are the next best bets for a quick grovel. Other than that, it’s flat or junky. Keep busy and be ready when that Saturday window opens.

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.
