The Lowdown

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

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, starting from Wednesday afternoon and rolling through with plenty of action. The waves are consistent, and the winds look good for the most part, so we’re in for a treat.

The standout is Los Locos, an exposed spot that’s been handling the swell beautifully. The water’s sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year – that anomaly of 2° means it’s a bit balmier than average, a nice bonus.

Kicking off Wednesday afternoon, we’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NNW with a 9-second period, pushed by a cross-offshore breeze from the North at 9 mph. The combined energy is solid at 430, and the conditions are looking sweet. Thursday morning rolls in with a similar 5ft from the NW, 10-second period, and a light ESE wind at 3 mph keeping things tidy. By Thursday afternoon, the wind swings NE at 9 mph and goes offshore, cleaning up a 4ft NNW swell with a 10-second period. The energy drops slightly to 257, but it’s still good.

Friday morning is a gem – glassy conditions with a light ESE breeze at 3 mph, and a 2ft NW swell (8-second period). The energy is lower at 103, but that glassy surface makes it a joy for a small-wave session. Friday afternoon picks up a bit with offshore NE wind at 12 mph smoothing out a 3ft NW swell (9-second period, 102 energy). Not big, but clean.

Saturday is small – under 2ft – with clean but weak waves. The real action returns Sunday morning: a 5ft NW swell with a long 13-second period, cross-offshore E wind at 6 mph, and a combined energy of 730. That’s a serious step up, providing well-shaped, powerful waves. Sunday afternoon stays strong with a 5ft NW swell, 12 seconds, offshore NE wind at 12 mph, and energy at 785. This is the best of the first week.

Monday morning keeps the fun going at 4ft from the NW (11 seconds, 350 energy) with light cross-off winds, but the afternoon gets a bit more wind with ENE at 16 mph that still holds offshore. By Tuesday, the quality drops as cross-onshore winds from the West and smaller swells move in, so expect a couple of days of poor surf. That stretch lasts from Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon.

We then get a pick-up on Thursday, 17 September: a 4ft NW swell with 11 seconds, light cross-offshore wind from the North, and 405 energy. Not amazing, but better. Friday is small again.

Now, here’s the big one. On Saturday, 19 September, we see a 4ft NW swell with a very long 12-second period in the morning, cross-offshore light E wind, and energy of 536. The afternoon steps it up: 4ft NW, 13-second period, offshore ENE wind at 12 mph, and energy of 581. That’s a standout session – quality waves, long period, and clean.

Sunday, 20 September, is a bit iffy with onshore and cross-onshore winds. But then Monday, 21 September, brings a monster: 12ft from the NW, 10-second period, glassy morning (NNW wind 0 mph) and offshore NE wind in the afternoon. The energy is massive – 2653 and 4731. However, this is way too big for beginners, and an 12ft+ swell is only for experts. The period is moderate at 10 seconds, so it might be a bit walled up at a beach break, but at a point break or reef, the size and energy could be epic.

After that, Tuesday, 22 September settles to a much more manageable 6ft from the NNW (9 seconds, 1305 energy) with clean cross-offshore winds, which is excellent for experienced surfers. The rest of the forecast through to 24 September holds solid, clean waves around 4ft to 4ft, with great winds and glassy periods.

For the top pick, I’d say Sunday, 13 September, with the 5ft to 5ft NW swell, long 12-13 second period, and offshore winds, is the cream of the first week. For the second week, the Saturday, 19 September, session is the standout – great size, long period, and clean. Crowds at Los Locos are often around, so expect company, but the quality makes it worth it.

There’s no real gap in the surf here – it’s a consistent run with a few small days, but plenty to keep you wet.

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.
