Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Los Locos.
Straight up, this is a tough stretch for the next couple of weeks. The first surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Monday, July 27th – that’s over a week away with nothing but tiny, messy, or flat conditions. For a spot that’s exposed to the NW and consistent, that’s a long dry spell. The water is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
That first real chance comes Monday morning, July 27th. The swell rolls in at 4ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy hits 257 (moderate). The wind is glassy out of the west at just 3 mph. That’s clean, that’s rideable, and for a beginner-friendly, consistent break like Los Locos, this is the standout. It’s not huge, so it’s perfect for all levels. Crowds are often a thing here, so expect company.
Monday afternoon sees the same 4ft NW swell, but the wind swings cross-shore, making it a bit lumpy. The energy is still there at 277 (moderate), but it’s not as clean as the morning.
Tuesday, July 28th, the swell jumps up. Morning brings 5ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 461 (moderate to strong). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s choppy. That’s getting a bit bigger, but with the onshore wind, it’s not as crisp. The afternoon is the real gem for the experts: 6ft NW swell, 9-second period, combined energy of 541 (strong), and the wind turns cross-offshore from the NNE at 6 mph. That’s clean, powerful, and punchy. For experienced surfers, Tuesday afternoon is the best of the whole forecast. Over 5ft, so it’s too much for beginners, but for the crew that knows what they’re doing, that’s a session.
Bottom line: the first week is a write-off. The last two days of the 16-day window – Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th – are where it’s at. The glassy Monday morning is the call for all-round fun, and Tuesday afternoon is the heavy hitter for the advanced guys.
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.
