The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what Los Locos has in store for the next couple weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but we've got a couple of days that are going to be well worth the wait.
Right now, for the first couple of days, it’s small and pretty messy. We got some weak, short-period swell pushing in, with the combined energy only reading around 38 to 65. Nothing to get excited about. The water temp is running about average for this time of year. You’re better off doing a few maintenance laps in the pool than paddling out for these scraps.
Then things start to get interesting as we head into the weekend. On Saturday the 5th, that NW groundswell starts to fill in proper. We're looking at 4ft in the morning, jumping to 5ft by the afternoon. The period is a solid 13-14 seconds, so there’s some real punch behind it. The combined energy jumps right up to 709, then 923, which tells you this is the real deal. It’s a bit cross-off with a moderate breeze in the afternoon, but it should still be clean. This is looking like one of the better windows.
Sunday the 6th backs off a bit and the wind swings onshore, making things choppy. The swell drops from 4ft down to 4ft with a shorter period, so it’s gonna be a bit of a mess. Monday morning is flat and crossed-up, but keep an eye on Monday afternoon – it cleans up with a light cross-off breeze and a bit of 3ft WNW swell. Not huge, but workable.
The middle of next week is pretty average. We’ve got waist-high dribble on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the period dropping back to 8-9 seconds. Glassy mornings are the only saving grace. Thursday the 10th is a write-off with onshore winds and weak, short-period swell. Friday isn't much better, with the energy dropping right off.
We drop right off into a flat spell for most of the following week. From the 12th to the 14th, it’s tiny and pretty much no-go. The combined energy readings are in the low 30s to 60s, so there’s just nothing there. We get little one-foot blips but nothing that’ll get your heart racing.
Now, here’s the big one on the horizon. The long-range charts are showing something promising for Wednesday the 16th. We’ve got a serious groundswell inbound, with a 6ft swell at 15 seconds. The energy reading is a massive 1376, which is one of the biggest numbers we’ve seen in this whole forecast. The winds are light and offshore in the morning, making for what looks like excellent, experienced-surfer-only conditions. This is the standout of the whole period, but remember it’s over a week out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. Thursday the 17th still has some solid 4ft leftovers with a clean offshore breeze, so there’s a good chance of a couple of fun days.
After that, it fades out into tiny, crossed-up slop for the end of the period.
So, to wrap it up: if you can only get out once, make it Saturday the 5th. If you’re an experienced surfer and can wait, circle Wednesday the 16th on your calendar. It could be the pick of the bunch. Crowds are often a factor here at Los Locos, so plan accordingly for those better days.
Stay stoked.

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.
