The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty flat out there for a long stretch. The first proper surfable day we see is on Thursday, the 6th of August, and even then, it’s more about getting wet than getting barreled. The waves are just a little bump, nothing to get excited about. The water's sitting at a nice 72°, which is a touch warmer than what we usually get this time of year, so that’s a silver lining at least.
The real standout, the one day you’d actually want to drag your board out of the shed for, is the morning of Saturday, the 9th of August. We’ve got a solid 5ft of swell rolling in from the NNW, with a combined energy of 238 (moderate), which is the biggest push we’ll see all forecast. Now, the wind is a bit cross-on from the West, so it won't be perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. Because it’s a bit of a chunky day and the period is short (8 seconds), it’s going to be a bit lumpy, but for a beach break, you’ll still find some fun ones. Keep in mind, with the swell over 5ft on the afternoon, it might be a bit much for the beginners.
The second option, if you’re really keen, is Thursday the 6th of August. We’ve got a clean 3ft from the NW with a gentle offshore wind from the ENE. The energy is weak (128), but it’s chest-high and clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it's the most pleasant-looking session before the bigger swell on the weekend. The crowd profile at Los Locos says it can get busy, so expect company if you head out there.
After that Saturday peak, it drops off again. The rest of the second week looks like a write-off, with tiny waves and poor conditions. Honestly, it’s a bit of a bummer of a forecast. We’re looking at a solid gap of near-flatness from the 11th of August right through to the end of the 16-day window. The surf just isn't there.
Get out there on that Saturday morning if you can, but for the rest of it, you might be better off finding a good book.
Rusty.

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).
