The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.

Right, straight up, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a moderate to fresh cross-onshore breeze blowing from the west and west-northwest through Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th, and the combined energy is weak to moderate (17 to 261). The surf is there, but it’s poor, choppy, and lumpy. Not worth paddling out for. The swell jumps slightly on Sunday, but the wind is still cross-on, so it’s more of the same messy stuff.

The real window opens on Monday the 27th of July. That’s the standout. The wind swings offshore from the north-northeast in the morning, turning into a clean, moderate offshore from the northeast in the afternoon. Combined energy jumps to a solid 492 and 544 (moderate wave energy), with a nice 5ft to 5ft groundswell from the north-northwest. That’s some proper long-period groundswell at 10 seconds. This spot is consistent and exposed to the north-west swell, so it’s going to be handling that energy well. The morning is clean, but the afternoon with that moderate offshore breeze is going to be the pick – clean, lined-up waves. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing too wild there. This is a consistent spot, so you can expect a decent crowd here, especially with conditions this good.

Tuesday the 28th keeps the good run going. Another morning of offshore winds, this time from the east-northeast, with a 4ft north-northwest swell. Combined energy is at 372 (moderate), so it’s a step down from Monday, but it’s still clean and fun. Afternoon offshore winds from the northeast keep it tidy. Great for a follow-up session.

Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th drop off. The swell backs down to 3ft and 2ft, and the combined energy falls to two-digit numbers (98, 90, 79). The winds go glassy or light, which is nice, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

The end of July and beginning of August is a mixed bag. Friday the 31st has some clean windows but the size is still tiny. Saturday the 1st of August sees a little bump with a 3ft swell and a very long-period 12-second groundswell for the afternoon, but the combined energy is only 148 (weak). You’d need a longboard and a lot of patience.

Now, keep an eye on Sunday the 2nd of August and Monday the 3rd of August. The swell picks up again, with 5ft to 6ft from the north-west. The combined energy is strong (557 and 672). Sunday is a bit messy with cross-onshore winds, but Monday the 3rd is the real second standout. The morning is glassy – perfectly clean – with a 5ft, 11-second groundswell from the north-west. Combined energy is a solid 563 (moderate). That’s a serious morning session. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze. This is a good one, but be aware this swell size is getting into the territory where it might be too much for absolute beginners. The long period will make it a bit more powerful at the take-off.

After that, the energy fades again. From Tuesday the 4th through to the end of the forecast on Saturday the 8th of August, the swell drops to under 3ft, and the winds are mostly cross-shore or onshore, with some rain showers and even a near-gale wind on Friday the 7th. The combined energy is weak, down to single or double digits (9 to 126). It’s a flat spell.

So, the takeaway: Monday the 27th of July is the absolute best of the bunch – clean, moderate offshore wind, solid groundswell. Monday the 3rd of August is the other big one to look forward to, with glassy conditions and a good punch of swell. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or just a bit messy. The gaps between the good surf on the 27th/28th and then the 3rd of August are a few days of small, ordinary conditions.

Rusty out.

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.
