The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty quiet start, but we’ve got a solid little window of good surf brewing if you’re patient. The first few days of September are small and ordinary, with waist-high dribble and weak energy. The real action kicks off on Saturday the 5th, and that’s where your focus should be.
The Standout
Saturday the 5th is the one to circle. The morning starts with a clean 4ft swell from the NW, with a long 12-second period that’ll bring plenty of push. The wind is glassy out of the ENE, so it’s going to be smooth. Combined energy is a solid 472 (moderate), and it only gets better into the afternoon. By Saturday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the NW, period stretches to 13 seconds, and the NE offshore wind at 12 mph will keep it clean. Energy jumps to 834 (strong). That’s the best of the window – a proper groundswell with good shape and power. It’s an exposed spot, so it’ll handle that NW swell well. Just a heads up: at 5ft, it’s getting a bit punchy for beginners, but intermediate and up will have a blast.
The Rest of the Run
Sunday the 6th morning is also a beauty – glassy conditions with a 5ft NNW swell, 12-second period, and 630 energy. It’s right up there for quality, but the afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore wind. The following week has some smaller pulses worth noting. Thursday the 10th is a good one: glassy morning with 4ft NW swell, 9-second period, and 247 energy. The wind goes light offshore in the afternoon, keeping things clean. Friday the 11th is similar, with glassy 3ft NNW swell and 222 energy in the morning, clean through the afternoon.
Monday the 14th is another standout in the second week. The morning has 4ft NW swell with 528 energy and a light cross-offshore breeze. By afternoon, it’s 5ft NW, 606 energy, and a solid 12 mph offshore wind. That’s a cracking day for the experienced crew.
Gaps
There’s a gap of a few days of poor conditions between the good Sunday morning and the next decent window on Thursday, and again after the 14th into the 16th, where it fades back to tiny, weak waves.
Conditions & Crowds
Los Locos is a consistent, exposed beginner-friendly spot, but with the good swell on the 5th, 6th, and 14th, expect it to be often crowded. The water temp is sitting around 71°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
The Wind & Energy
That combined energy number on Saturday the 5th afternoon – 834 – is strong. That’s a lot of power in the water. The 15-second period swell on Monday the 7th is very long period, but it’s only 2ft and cross-onshore, so it’s a miss. Long period is great for reefs and points, but here it’s just not showing up with enough size.
The Bottom Line
If you can get out Saturday the 5th or Sunday the 6th morning, that’s your best chance. The Monday the 14th is also a cracker, but it’s further out, so keep an eye on it. The rest of the time is mostly small, choppy, or ordinary. For the beginners, stick to the smaller glassy mornings like the 10th or 11th.
Stay salty.
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.

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.
