The Lowdown
Rusty here, checkin' in from the old region. Alright, let's have a look at what's in store for our local spot, Los Locos.
To be honest, the next week and a half is a bit of a slow burn. We've got a real dry spell from now until the middle of next week. The swell is tiny and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, leaving us with pretty ordinary, poor surf. There's a stretch from Friday the 14th through to Wednesday the 26th of August where the conditions are just not there for a proper session. It's a long gap, with only a few moments of clean, small waves that are surfable but nothing to write home about.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 26th in the afternoon. The wind swings light and cross-off, cleanin' things up. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the NW, but the energy jumps up to 422 (moderate). It's not a monster, but it's a sign of life.
But the standout session, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is the entire day of Thursday the 27th of August. This is the pick of the run. The consolidated energy is strong, sitting at 300 and 284 (moderate). You've got a nice 5 ft NW swell running with a clean, cross-off wind and light breeze. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 72°, which is a nice bonus. This is a clean, solid, and consistent day at Los Locos (Spain). The only potential bummer is that the crowds can be "often" here, so if you want a peak to yourself, get out early.
Now, a word of warning. The end of the period gets a bit wild. By Friday the 28th, the swell jumps to 7 ft to 8 ft from the NW, with a period of 11-12 seconds. The energy is huge (963 to 1525). But the wind is a howling 22-28 mph cross-on, making it a total mess. It's a kite surfer's dream, not a paddle surfer's. Same goes for Saturday the 29th, with a massive 12 ft NW swell (energy a massive 4701 and 4034) but again, brutal cross-on winds. This is big, powerful, and ugly. Way too big for beginners, and only for experts if the wind wasn't trash. As it is, the wind and tide are favorable at times, but the wave is predicted to be too big for this break.
So, to sum it up: the next week is a waiting game. Thursday the 27th of August is your day. Get on it.
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.

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.
