The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Los Locos.

The next couple of days are a bit average, but don’t write it off. We’ve got some solid pulses coming through, especially if you can wait until Monday the 31st. That’s where the real juice is. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll notice it.

So, Saturday the 29th is a bit of a mixed bag. Morning has clean, cross-shore lines out of the SE at just 3 mph and a 5 ft NW swell, but the conditions are a bit marginal – a smaller day with only 325 (moderate energy) behind it. The afternoon cleans up with a light offshore breeze from the N, still 5 ft, and looks a bit better for a fun session.

Sunday the 30th is pretty ho-hum. The swell drops a fraction to 4 ft from the NW, with a light cross-shore wind. The energy is still moderate but the conditions are a touch messy, especially by the afternoon with 9 mph NW winds putting a bit of cross-chop on it.

Now, Monday the 31st is the first real standout. Morning is glassy – zero wind, 5 ft NW swell, and the energy jumps right up to 521 (strong). That’s the kind of clean, lined-up surf you wait for. Afternoon stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. This is the best of the first week, no question.

Tuesday the 1st of September is still nice, with a drop to 4 ft NW swell. Morning is glassy again and the afternoon goes offshore from the NE. It’s a good, clean, small-wave day for the log or a fish.

From Wednesday the 2nd through Friday the 4th, things get small. We’re talking 2 ft to 3 ft NW, mostly clean but very ordinary. The energy drops below 100 (weak) for most of it. Worth a paddle if you’re desperate, but nothing to get excited about.

Now, here’s the real tease. Saturday the 5th of September, that’s your second standout. A 4 ft NW groundswell with a very long 14-second period rolls in, and the energy is back up to 505 (strong). Morning is glassy. This is a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have proper shape and power, but at a beach break it can run a bit straight. Still, with clean conditions, it’s going to be quality. Afternoon sees 4 ft and a 13-second period, with a gentle offshore NE wind – just about perfect.

Sunday the 6th holds a solid 4 ft to 5 ft NW swell (11-second period), with clean offshore winds in the afternoon. Good energy (490), but it’s not quite the standout of Saturday.

Monday the 7th, the wind swings onshore from the WNW at 12 mph and it gets choppy and poor. That trend continues into Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th – the swell is small, the wind is messy, and it’s just not worth it.

From Thursday the 10th onward, it’s basically flat or junk. Thursday has 2 ft to 2 ft from the NW and then a weird short-period NE swell. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are a write-off – strong onshore winds, tiny waves, and poor conditions. The last few days in the second week (13th and 14th) are tiny with light offshores, but you’re looking at 1 ft to 2 ft – barely a ripple.

So, my call: if you want the best of it, hit Monday the 31st of August for cleaner, punchier 5 ft waves, or wait for Saturday the 5th of September for that long-period groundswell and glassy morning. Everything else is either small, windy, or both.

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.
