The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Los Locos for the next couple of weeks. The pattern is a bit of a slow burner: we’ve got some fun, clean waves early on, a dip into small weekend slop, then a real gem of a session on Sunday the 13th. Things get ordinary after that, with only a brief glimmer.

We start off this Wednesday the 9th with a solid window. Wednesday morning brings in a 5ft NW swell with a period around 9 seconds, and despite a touch of cross-off wind from the NNW at 6 mph, the water’s already a balmy 70° which is slightly warmer than normal for this time of year; a nice bonus. The afternoon stays clean at 4ft.

Thursday the 10th holds the quality. Morning is clean and cross-off at 5ft from the NW with a 10-second period. The real highlight comes Thursday afternoon – offshore from the NE at 9 mph, clean lines at 4ft from the NNW, period still at 10 seconds, and combined energy sitting at a moderate 257. That’s a sweet afternoon session.

Friday the 11th drops right off. The swell’s tiny - down to 2ft in the morning, with short period and weak energy (105), but it’s glassy. Great for a log if you’ve got one. By Saturday the 12th, it’s very weak – barely 2ft from the NW, and while the winds are clean, there’s just no power (energy 31-60). A small wave day.

Now, mark your calendars for Sunday the 13th. This is the standout. The morning is glassy, with a 5ft NW groundswell but here’s the kicker – a period of 13 seconds and combined energy surging to a very strong 723. This is real, quality groundswell. That long period will make for beautiful, lined-up waves at Los Locos, especially with no wind. The afternoon comes in at 5ft with NW wind states offering a clean offshore, energy hitting 824, period still at 12 seconds. This is the best we get for the whole forecast. Not huge, but a very clean and powerful combo.

Monday the 14th is still fun but a step down – 4ft in the morning, clean, then choppier by afternoon as wind picks up.

From Tuesday the 15th onwards, it gets grim. Swell drops again to under 3ft, with persistent cross-onshore wind from the west, making things lumpy. That stretch from the 15th to the 18th is a lot of clean but tiny surf, or bigger winds messing it up, with combined energy staying under 200. Not much worth paddling for.

A small pulse returns on Saturday the 19th. The morning is borderline, but the afternoon brings a clean offshore wind from the ENE at 16 mph, with 4ft NW swell and a 11-second period, energy at 338. That’s a rideable, clean afternoon but not the quality of the 13th.

From the 20th of September into the final days of the period, it’s back to very small, clean conditions – tiny waves under 2ft. The 22nd and 23rd are flat with glassy or light offshore winds and absolutely no power (energy in the 40s and 50s). By the 24th, just small and messy.

The Pick: Sunday the 13th, morning session, glassy, 5ft from the NW, 13-second period, very strong energy (723). That’s the standout.

Crowds at Los Locos are *often* an issue, and on a morning like this with crystal conditions and a proper groundswell, you’ll want to get there early. It’s an exposed, NW-facing spot, and when it lines up like that, it’s a magic day.

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.

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.
