The Lowdown
Alright, gather 'round. Rusty here, and I've had a good, long look at what's coming our way for Los Locos. Let's be straight with each other—it's a bit of a quiet stretch for the most part, but there's a shimmer of hope if you're patient.
For the next week and a half, we're staring down some pretty small and unremarkable surf. The energy is just not there. We're talking weak, tiny waves with combined swell energy values struggling to even hit triple digits. For example, the Thursday morning session on the 30th of July has a combined energy of just 73 (weak), with a 2ft swell. It's not going to be a game changer. The winds are often onshore or crossing, making things a bit bumpy. You'll get a few windows of clean conditions with light offshore breezes, but the waves themselves are too small to get excited about. There's a real gap here where there's just nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, hold on to your leashes, because things get interesting on Saturday the 8th of August. That morning, we see some real life. A 3ft swell from the WNW rolls in with a period of 9 seconds and the wind goes glassy. Not a breath. The combined energy jumps to 95 (moderate), which is the most life we've seen. That Saturday afternoon cleans up even more with a light cross-offshore breeze and the energy climbs to 133 (moderate), pushing the swell to 3ft. It ain't a big wave day, but it will be the cleanest, most fun surf of the whole outlook. For a spot that's consistent like Los Locos, this is the stand-out. The swell direction is straight out of the NW, which is exactly what this break wants to see, and with those light offshore conditions, the waves will be peeling nicely.
After that little highlight, it drops right back off into tiny, weak, and mostly messy conditions for the second week. The energy levels fade right back into the basement.
So, there you have it. A long dry spell, but a clear, clean winner on the 8th of August. You'll be working for it, but it'll be worth the wait.
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.
