The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The only real player on the scene for the next two weeks is Los Locos, and it’s got a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde thing going on. We’re looking at a long dry spell before anything worthwhile happens, so patience is the name of the game.

The first real surfable day isn’t until Thursday, August 27th, but even then, it’s more of a tease than a goer. The swell is hanging around 4ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and combined swell energy is sitting at 201 (moderate), but that cross-shore wind is going to mess with the face. It’s a skip.

Friday the 28th gets wild, but not in a good way for most. The morning swell jumps to 10ft from the NW, period 12 seconds, and the energy is a massive 2496 (strong to very strong). That’s a serious amount of water moving. The wind is light and cross-onshore, but honestly, that size is just too big for this spot. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s a real handful. The afternoon is a little smaller at 8ft, but the wind shifts to a moderate cross-shore, making it messy.

Now, here’s the standout. Saturday, August 29th. This is the session to circle. The swell drops to a much more manageable 6ft from the NW, period still a solid 10 seconds, and the energy is 681 (moderate). The wind is dead calm in the morning – glassy, clean. That’s the best you’re going to get. The afternoon is almost as good with a light cross-offshore from the NNW. The waves will be clean, with proper shape. Crowds are often possible here, so get there early if you can.

Sunday the 30th is still a good option, with 5ft from the NW and glassy conditions in the morning. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.

After that, the surf tapers off. Monday the 31st has some clean 3ft waves, but it’s ordinary. From Tuesday, September 1st through to the end of the window, it’s mostly flat or poor, with a few small, weak pulses. There’s a bigger swell on the 7th of September – 8ft from the NW, period 12 seconds, energy 1831 (strong) – with clean, cross-offshore winds, but that’s over a week away and the models might change. It’s a promising long-range look, but it’s not locked in.

So, the bottom line: if you’re keen, don’t waste your time until the 29th of August. That Saturday morning glass-off at Los Locos is the pick of the whole 16-day window. Make it count.

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.

Los Locos is 10 km (6 miles) from Torrelavega. If you plan a holiday in Spain - Cantabria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Torrelavega. Torrelavega has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
