The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. Los Locos is the spot, and it’s a waiting game for the first bit. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The first decent window opens on Tuesday, July 28th. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the NNW, with a 10-second period, and the wind is a cross-off breeze from the east at 6 mph. The water has a moderate energy feel (394), and it’s clean. Tuesday afternoon, the swell drops to 4ft from the NW, with a clean offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. It’s gentle, but clean. That’s the best of the early days.
Then it goes flat. From Wednesday the 29th through to the end of the first week, the swell is tiny, under 3ft, with mostly onshore or cross-shore winds making it choppy. There are a couple of glassy, calm moments on Monday the 3rd of August, but the swell is only 1ft, so it’s barely a ripple.
The real standout is Friday, August 7th. The swell pushes to 5ft from the NW, with an 8-second period, and the energy is solid (334). The wind is glassy in the morning, dead calm, then turns offshore from the NNE at 9 mph in the afternoon. It’s clean, it’s got some push, and this spot is consistent. This is the best day – perfect for a fun, clean session at a beginner-friendly break.
Saturday the 8th is smaller, with 3ft surf and less energy, but still clean. Then Sunday the 9th brings a bigger pulse: 6ft from the NW with a 10-second period and a massive energy spike (703). That’s a lot of water. But the wind is a light cross-onshore, making it “marginal.” That size is getting big for this break, and the wind will mess it up a bit. It’s for the experienced crew only.
The following Monday and Tuesday, the 10th and 11th, the swell is back to 5ft-6ft, but the wind is messy again. The afternoon of Tuesday the 11th has a clean cross-off wind from the NW, with 4ft swell and decent energy (320), so that’s another solid option.
The standout is Friday, August 7th. The glassy morning, the offshore breeze, and that 5ft of NW swell will be the cleanest, most fun waves of the whole outlook. The bigger swell on the 9th is powerful but messy, so it’s a second choice for those who don’t mind a battle.

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.

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.
