Table - best surf conditions forecast for Los Locos over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The standout is Los Locos – a reliable, beginner-friendly break exposed to the northwest. The water’s at 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The surf starts Saturday afternoon, August 29, with clean 5ft northwest swell, period around 9 seconds, and a cross-offshore breeze from the north. Combined energy is moderate at 280 – a decent start.
Sunday, August 30 is mixed. Morning rain showers with cross-shore wind, waves at 4ft. Afternoon’s a little cleaner but still crossed up. Not the best.
Monday, August 31 morning is the first real highlight – glassy, zero wind, 5ft of northwest swell, 10-second period, and energy at 521. That’s clean, glassy, and perfect. Afternoon holds up too.
Tuesday, September 1 is smaller at 4ft but glassy in the morning, offshore in the afternoon – light and clean.
Wednesday, September 2 through Thursday, September 3 is small – 2ft to 3ft. Clean but weak, with energy under 100.
Friday, September 4 is a standout. Morning glass-off, 5ft northwest swell, 13-second period, energy 738. Afternoon jumps to 6ft, 12-second period, offshore wind, and energy 904. That’s a powerful groundswell.
Saturday, September 5 afternoon is the biggest – 6ft, 14-second period, offshore wind, energy 1511. For experts only. Beginners, stay out.
Sunday, September 6 is choppy and cross-onshore. Skip it.
The second week is quiet. Monday, September 7 to Tuesday, September 8 has small, clean waves. Wednesday, September 9 to Thursday, September 10 is poor or weak. Friday, September 11 brings a 4ft, 14-second pulse with fresh offshore wind, but conditions are marginal.
Saturday, September 12 is cross-onshore again.
Sunday, September 13 finishes strong – 4ft, 12-second northwest groundswell, glassy in the morning, clean in the afternoon, energy 592.
Best bets: Monday, August 31 morning for glassy perfection, and Friday, September 4 afternoon and Saturday, September 5 afternoon for the biggest, cleanest swell. Crowds can be often at Los Locos, so get there early.

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.
Los Locos is 10 km (6 miles) from Torrelavega. If you plan a holiday in Spain - Cantabria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Torrelavega. Torrelavega has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
