The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at Los Locos for the next 16 days. This is a consistent, beginner-friendly break that’s exposed to the NW, and the water temp is about normal for this time.
The start is a little slow. Tuesday the 21st of July offers a tiny, glassy 1.3m NNE windswell with a short 7-second period and weak energy (168) – surfable but nothing to get excited about. The real action kicks off Tuesday afternoon when the wind swings hard offshore from the NE, hitting 25 km/h. That cleans up the 1.5m NNE swell to a moderate 221 energy, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the best of the early days.
Wednesday the 22nd holds some clean, offshore fun with a 1.0m to 1.2m NNE swell, but the energy drops to 84-118, nothing special. From Thursday the 23rd through the end of the month, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions with cross and cross-onshore winds, small lumpy swell, and bad surf. That gap lasts until Monday the 27th.
The standout window arrives on Monday the 27th of July. The swell jumps to 1.6m NW, with a 10-second period and a solid 500 energy. The wind is cross-shore from the WNW, so it’s a bit crumbly, but the power is there. Tuesday the 28th of July is the absolute best on offer: morning glass-off from the NE at 5 km/h, with a 1.2m NW groundswell, period 9 seconds, and 252 energy. That’s clean, lined-up, and fun. The afternoon holds with a 25 km/h offshore from the NE, keeping the 1.3m NNW swell at 307 energy glassy. That’s your session.
The rest of the first week of August fades back into smaller, weaker swells with mixed winds. The 31st of July has a chance with a 1.1m NNW swell, 362 energy, and a clean cross-off, but it’s a gamble. The 1st of August shows a 1.4m NW swell with 498 energy, but the cross-shore winds keep it marginal. By the 5th of August, it’s down to 0.4m and glassy – a flat, quiet end.
Best Bet: Tuesday the 28th of July. Morning glassy conditions, 1.2m NW swell, groundswell period, and clean lines. That’s your session. The afternoon is also a winner with the offshore wind. Crowds are often, so expect company at this consistent spot.

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.
