Los Locos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks. We've got some real gems coming up, but also a few days you might want to sit out.

The water is sitting at a pleasant 70°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no worries on a chilly suit.

The action starts this Sunday morning, September 6th. It's going to be a standout. We're looking at clean 5-foot waves from the NW with a solid 11-second period, pumping in with moderate energy (578). The wind is glassy, a light WSW breeze, meaning the surface will be smooth as butter. This is the pick of the early days for sure, perfect for the beginners the spot is known for, just mind the crowds, they're often around here.

Sunday afternoon drops off a bit with a cross-onshore wind chopping things up, so get it in the morning. Monday the 7th is worth a paddle out, too. The swell drops to 2 feet in the morning but it's dead glassy from the WNW with a long 14-second period (241 energy). It's a smaller groundswell, which will wrap in nicely here, offering clean little rollers for a longboard. Afternoon stays clean with a light offshore.

Tuesday the 8th is a write-off with messy cross-shore winds. Wednesday the 9th is another one to watch closely. The morning is poor, but by the afternoon we get a pulse of 6 feet from the NNW. The period is a short 8 seconds, but the wind goes glassy and the energy jumps right up to 887. That's a lot of juice, and with clean conditions, it could be a proper fun session, though the short period means it might be a bit lumpy.

Thursday the 10th looks good again with a glassy morning and 5-foot NW swell (458 energy). Friday the 11th is small but clean. Then things go quiet over the weekend of the 12th and 13th, with tiny waves and strong winds.

Hold on, because the real gem of the whole forecast is a week away, on Sunday the 13th. We've got a solid 4-foot NW groundswell in the morning (544 energy) building to 5 feet in the afternoon (772 energy), with a fantastic 13-second period and clean, offshore winds from the NE. This is a powerful, clean swell. It's not too big for the experienced crew but will be a handful for beginners. The moderate offshore wind will groom it perfectly.

Monday the 14th keeps the good form going with clean 4-foot waves and offshore winds. After that, it gets a bit messy from the 15th through the 18th with cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions, despite some decent size.

The final week from the 19th to the 21st looks promising again. Expect clean 4-foot to 4-foot waves from the NW with a nice 10-11 second period, and mostly offshore or glassy winds. The energy is moderate (around 370), but it's consistent and clean. Saturday the 19th and Monday the 21st mornings look particularly glassy. A solid run to end the outlook.

So, in short: Sunday morning the 6th and the whole of Sunday the 13th are your absolute standouts. Don't sleep on those.

Rusty.
