The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty flat and uninspiring. We’ve got a long wait ahead for anything that’ll get the heart pumping. Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are all tiny, poor surf – think knee-high slop, not worth paddling out for. Tuesday the 25th through to Thursday the 27th stay weak with barely a ripple. The combined swell energy hangs around a paltry 14 to 139, which is just sad. honestly.
We finally start seeing a pulse building from Friday the 28th. That morning the swell bumps up to 5ft from the NW but with a cross-onshore wind, it’s gonna be a bit of a mess, better suited to a kite than a surfboard. The afternoon gets bigger at 8ft from the NW and the wind turns cross-shore – marginal, but at least there’s some power, with energy reaching 1019.
Now, the real standout is Saturday the 29th. That morning, Los Locos is looking very good. We’ve got a solid 7ft NW swell rolling in with glassy conditions – dead calm wind and clean faces. That’s the session to point your board at. The energy is a strong 865, so there’s plenty of push. It’s a heavy 7ft, so this is expert territory only. Afternoon sees the wind swing a bit cross-shore and the swell drops a touch to 6ft.
Sunday the 30th is a good follow-up. Morning still has clean 5ft NW swell under light winds, making for a fun, slightly smaller day.
After that, the window closes again. From Monday the 31st right through to Sunday the 6th of September, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly poor conditions. Nothing worth getting excited about.
Then, on Monday the 7th of September, there’s a promising long-range call. A clean 5ft NW groundswell with a long 12-second period and glassy winds. The energy reading is 662 – a good sign – but remember, with such a long period, Los Locos is an exposed beach setup, so those waves might wall up and break a bit fast. Still, it’s a clear standout for the second week, though it’s far out so keep an eye on it.
Water temp is around average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.
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.
