The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a real slow burn. There’s a whole lot of flat, poor, or just plain ordinary conditions coming our way. Starting from Thursday the 16th right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves. The swell energy is mostly in the single digits or low double digits, so you’re not missing much. The water temp is sitting at a warm 70.5°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the dips will be nice.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the very end of the window. The standout window is Thursday, July 30th afternoon through Friday, July 31st. That’s when things finally wake up.
On Thursday afternoon at Los Locos, we get a groundswell from the NW at 5.9ft with a very long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 1086 (strong energy), but the wind is a cross-shore, so it’s a bit grovelly and marginal. The real magic is Friday, July 31st. Morning has clean, offshore winds from the ENE, with a solid 5.9ft NW swell still running at a long 12 seconds. The energy is still high at 913. The wind is light and offshore, so it’ll be glassy and clean. This is the best on offer, but it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed.
For the more experienced crew, the afternoon of the 31st also looks good – 5.6ft NW swell, offshore wind, but it’s a bit stronger, so the morning is the cleaner pick. This spot is exposed and consistent, so with the right direction, it can fire. Just know that crowds are often an issue here, so get in early.
Bottom line: the first two weeks are a write-off. The only real chance of a good session is on the 31st.

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.
