Los Locos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's coming down the line for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to start. Saturday and Sunday morning come with small, weak waves that won't get you too excited. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up late on Sunday the 13th. We’ve got a 5ft NW swell with a 13-second period rolling in. The wave energy is moderate with a reading of 578, and with light cross-offshore winds making it clean, it’s gonna be a decent session. Not the standout, but a solid way to ease into the week.

Monday the 14th keeps that trend going with 4ft NW swell and clean conditions again. Good, but still not the big story.

Now, here’s the bit that’s got me talking. Thursday the 17th, early morning, the wind drops to glassy and we’ve got 5ft of NW swell with a period of 11 seconds. The energy is pushing 597, and it’s set to be very good. But the real standout – and I mean the session you don't miss – is Friday the 18th in the afternoon. The swell jumps to 6ft from the NNW with a 14-second period, and the combined energy hits 1324, strong stuff. Plus, the wind is offshore from the NE. This is proper, powerful groundswell for experienced surfers. It’s going to be big and it’s going to be clean.

Saturday the 19th is just as stacked; 7ft NW swell in the morning with glassy conditions, and the energy is up at 1457. Again, for the crew who can handle it, this is premium. The swell direction from the NW is right on the money for Los Locos, and with offshore winds in the afternoon, it’s a full day of quality.

After that, the swell hangs around in the 5ft to 6ft range through to Monday the 21st, staying clean with offshore flow. Consistency is on our side.

We'll see a bit of a drop-off mid-week, with smaller, more ordinary surf from Wednesday the 23rd afternoon through to Saturday the 26th. The winds turn a bit ugly and the energy fades.

But don't write off the end of the run. Sunday the 27th brings back a promising pulse. We’re looking at a 3ft swell early, but with a very long 16-second period from the NNW, and energy around 548. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon bumps up to 5ft with a 15-second period and energy nearly cracking 1000. That’s a long-period groundswell, which at a point break like Los Locos means long, lined-up walls. It’s a note-perfect way to wrap up the outlook.

So, if you’re picking your windows, aim for the 17th through the 21st for the biggest, punchiest swell, and keep an eye on that last Sunday for some clean, long-period gems. The flat days in between are just a chance to rest up.

Rusty.
