Los Locos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.

The next couple of weeks are a mixed bag, but there’s a promising window early on before things go quiet. The pattern starts with a nice shot of groundswell and clean conditions, then fades into a long stretch of small, onshore slop. Hang tight for the first few days.

The standout is Friday, July 3rd. Thursday afternoon the 2nd is just ordinary—3ft from the NW with a light cross-off breeze, and the water’s way warmer than normal at 71°, a good 5° above average, which is notable. But it’s Friday morning that really shines: 4ft of NW swell, period a solid 11 seconds, with clean NE offshore wind at just 3 mph. The combined energy hits 287 (moderate), and the break, Los Locos, is consistent and exposed to the NW, which is exactly the direction the swell is coming from. This is a beginner-friendly spot, so 4ft is perfect for learners. Expect clean, lined-up waves. Friday afternoon stays good too, with 4ft and 12 mph offshore wind.

Saturday the 4th still has clean offshore wind but the swell drops to 3ft and the period shortens to 10 seconds – surfable but nothing special. By Sunday the 5th, we’re down to 2ft and the wind turns cross-off. From Monday the 6th through to Wednesday the 8th, it’s tiny, weak, and mostly cross-onshore. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations.

Then, on Sunday, July 12th, there’s a brief flicker: morning glass-off, 4ft from the NNW with a 10-second period, and combined energy of 365 (moderate to strong). The wind is glassy. This could be worth a look, but the afternoon goes cross-shore and the quality drops. After that, it’s back to small, weak, and onshore through to the 17th.

If you’re picking one, make it Friday the 3rd. Good swell, clean wind, and that long-period NW groundswell will wrap in nicely at this exposed point. Just be aware, crowds are likely here – it’s often busy for good reason.

Rusty.
