The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Los Locos.
The first half of the forecast is pretty weak, but there’s a serious pulse of energy building for the third week of September. The absolute best windows are Sunday the 20th of September morning and Monday the 21st of September, especially for the more experienced surfers.
Friday the 11th has tiny, weak surf – only 0.6m to 0.8m from the NW with a short period. Barely enough to get a slide. Saturday the 12th is even smaller, down to 0.4m to 0.5m. Not worth the paddle.
Things wake up Sunday the 13th. Swell jumps to 1.3m to 1.4m, direction NW, with a 13-second period. The combined energy is moderate (570 to 590). Winds are offshore from the NE, so it’s clean and fun. Monday the 14th stays in the 1.0m to 1.1m range with a long 11 to 12 second period. Good, but not the peak.
Tuesday the 15th is a mess – cross-on and cross-shore winds with a short, choppy 1.4m swell. Forget it. Wednesday the 16th is a little better but still not worth writing home about.
Now, Sunday the 20th of September morning is the one. Swell is 1.3m from the NNW, period a massive 16 seconds. Combined energy is 1426 (strong). The wind is glassy from the WNW. This is excellent, high-quality groundswell. The water temp is about 69°, which is normal for the season. This is a morning for the dawn patrol.
Monday the 21st is another standout, with 2.4m to 2.5m from the NW/NNW, period 13 seconds, and glassy to light offshore conditions in the afternoon. The energy is very strong (1944 to 2243). But at over 2.4m, this is for experts only. Tuesday the 22nd stays excellent with 2.1m to 2.2m from the NW, period 13 seconds, and clean offshore winds.
The rest of the week tapers down but stays clean. The 25th of September shows another pulse of 1.7m to 1.8m from the NNW with a 12-second period and glassy to light offshore winds – that’s a promising long-range look but less certain. The 26th of September has bigger 2.1m to 2.3m swell but the wind goes cross-on, so quality drops.
Best bet for clean, classic waves is Sunday the 20th of September morning (glassy, 1.3m, 16 seconds) . For the biggest, most powerful waves, Monday the 21st afternoon (glassy, 2.4m, experts only) . Los Locos is ‘often’ crowded, so expect company. The break is consistent, so it’s a reliable spot to check.
