The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for Los Locos.
We’ve got a pretty solid run of surf coming up, but it’s a bit of a slow starter. The first couple of days are a write-off, but from Saturday morning, things start to get interesting. The standout window is definitely the weekend with a really nice pulse of NW groundswell and clean offshore winds.
Friday the 4th is flat and messy. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Things kick off proper on Saturday the 5th. Saturday morning is the first real highlight. We’re looking at clean 4ft waves from the NW, with a period of 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is solid (565), and the wind is offshore from the ENE, keeping it clean. Los Locos is an exposed NW spot, so this swell is arriving right on the money. This is the best session on offer. Saturday afternoon gets even bigger with 5ft NW swell, still offshore and clean. The combined energy jumps to 919, which is strong. This is a great day for intermediate to advanced surfers; 5ft is punchy.
Sunday the 6th drops off a bit. The morning has 5ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s a bit lumpy. The energy is still moderate (532), but the wind ruins it. Sunday afternoon is even worse with cross-onshore winds.
The middle of the week is a mix. Monday the 7th morning is tiny and poor, but the afternoon sees a small 3ft WNW swell with cross-offshore winds, making it clean. Tuesday the 8th is a mix of onshore mess and clean options. The next real standout is Wednesday the 9th. Wednesday morning has 5ft NW swell, period 11 seconds, with light offshore winds from the NNE. It’s clean and the energy is 606. Wednesday afternoon is similar with 5ft NW, clean offshore from the NE. That’s another high-quality day.
The second week is quieter. There’s a nice glassy period on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, particularly Monday morning with 4ft NW swell and glassy conditions (300 energy). That’s a good pick for a quiet session. Wednesday the 16th also has a glassy morning with 3ft NW swell, clean and tidy. After that, from Thursday the 17th onwards, it’s mostly small, weak, and cross-onshore, slowly fading out.
So, to sum it up: your best bets are Saturday the 5th and Wednesday the 9th. Both mornings are clean, with decent size, good direction, and proper energy. Don’t get too excited about the end of the second week – it’s a bit of a bust.
Rusty.
