The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, with a look at what's coming our way.
We've got a bit of a slow start, but don't write this one off. The first real chance for a paddle is Monday afternoon at Los Locos. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about on that front. It's clean with an offshore breeze, but the swell is only 3ft from the northwest. Not a day for heroics, but a fun way to get the arms moving.
Honestly, the next few days are pretty average. Tuesday and Wednesday are messy with cross-onshore winds and poor conditions. Thursday morning shows a bit more size at 5ft from the northwest, but the wind is still cross, making it a bit of a gamble. The swell energy is building though, hitting 639 (moderate) on Thursday morning. It’s there, but not perfect.
Now, if you’re an experienced surfer, hold tight for Friday the 18th of September. The afternoon looks like a proper standout. We’re seeing a solid 8ft groundswell from the northwest with a long period of 16 seconds. The energy is cranked right up at 2585 (very strong). The wind swings offshore, and it’s clean. This is the kind of day that gets the heart pumping, but at this size, it’s strictly for the crew who know what they’re doing.
Saturday the 19th of September is another beauty. The morning is glassy, with light wind from the southeast, and the swell holds at a powerful 8ft from the northwest. The period drops to 13 seconds, but it’s still a proper groundswell. The energy is 1811 (very strong). The afternoon stays clean with an offshore breeze. If you can only pick one session this week, this is it. Keep in mind, it can get busy here, and with these waves, expect company in the water.
The surf then backs off a bit but stays fun into the next week. Monday the 21st has clean 5ft waves from the northwest, and Tuesday the 22nd is looking glassy with a smaller but clean 4ft swell. There’s a bit of a lull after that, with tiny waves from Wednesday the 23rd right through to the end of the month. The energy drops right off into the double digits (74 and 45), so it’ll be a quiet spell for a while. A small uptick shows on Friday the 25th with 4ft waves and glassy conditions, but it’s not a major event.
So, to sum it up: the early days are average, but Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are the standouts for the experts. After that, it fades out into small, clean conditions for the beginners.
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. 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.
