The Lowdown
Rightio, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ here. This is for Los Locos, a consistent little beginner-friendly spot that’s exposed to the northwest. Water temp is sittin’ around 71°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild there.
First up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. Thursday afternoon the 3rd is a write-off – tiny 2ft NW swell with weak energy (39) and a stiff 25 km/h offshore wind. It’s clean but just not enough push. Friday the 4th isn’t much better; small 2ft waves from the WNW, period at 8 seconds, and a light cross-onshore/cross-off breeze that keeps things pretty ordinary. Energy is still low (47–65). You’re better off waitin’.
Things start to get interesting on Saturday the 5th. Saturday morning brings a jump to 4ft from the NW, period at 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy jumps to 686 (moderate–strong), and with a light 5 km/h cross-off breeze from the east, it’s gonna be clean. This is a standout session for the early part of the outlook. Saturday afternoon, the swell nudges 5ft but the wind picks up to 30 km/h offshore – still clean but a bit touchy, and the energy is 826. That’s solid.
Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th drop off a bit. Sunday has 4–4ft NW swell but cross-onshore winds and chop, so not great. Monday morning, the 7th, has glassy conditions with a 2ft NW swell and 14-second period – energy at 206. It’s clean but small, better for a log or a learner. Monday afternoon sees 3ft from the WNW, period 12 seconds, clean with cross-off wind.
Tuesday the 8th is clean and consistent, with 4ft NW swell, 10-second period, and light cross-off winds. Energy around 270. Good for a fun session, not a standout.
Wednesday the 9th has a morning of 4ft NW swell but only 8-second period – ordinary. Afternoon picks up with 3ft NW, 11-second period, and a 20 km/h offshore breeze from the ENE. Energy 292. Clean, but still small.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are pretty average – 3–4ft NW swell, periods around 9–10 seconds, mostly clean but nothing special. Energy dropping below 200. Friday morning is glassy with 3ft, but still ordinary.
Saturday the 12th is a write-off – tiny 2–3ft, weak energy (62–141), and messy conditions.
Now, the real standout is Sunday the 13th. Sunday morning brings 6ft of NW swell, period at 14 seconds, and combined energy of 1197 – that’s strong! Glassy conditions, no wind. This is excellent for experienced surfers – 6ft is too big for most beginners. The swell direction is NW, right in the optimum for the break. Sunday afternoon holds 6ft with a light offshore breeze, still very good. This is the best session on offer in the whole 16-day window.
After that, Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are clean but smaller – 4ft dropping to 3ft, energy 288 down to 110. Wednesday the 16th is clean with 3ft, 10-second period, energy 217. Decent but nothin’ to write home about. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are poor – cross-onshore winds, chop, and dropping swell (2–3ft, energy under 200). The last few days are a flat, choppy mess.
So, the standout is definitely Sunday the 13th – get on it if you’ve got the skills. The other good windows are Saturday the 5th morning and maybe Monday the 14th for a clean, smaller session. The rest is mostly filler or flat.

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.
