The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for our little corner of the coast.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the good news is it picks up into a nice run of clean, glassy conditions. The first few days are pretty ordinary, so you might want to save your energy for the weekend. Water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so a spring suit will do you fine.
Thursday morning (27th August) is pretty flat with a weak 3 ft NW swell (63 combined energy), and cross-off winds keep it tidy-ish but there’s not much push. The afternoon goes downhill with a strong onshore SW wind, so don’t bother.
Friday (28th) morning sees a little bump to 4 ft of NW swell (212 combined energy), with clean cross-off winds. It’s a small improvement. Friday afternoon goes a bit lumpy with cross-shore winds.
Saturday (29th) morning is where it starts to get interesting. Glassy conditions, 5 ft of NW swell, and the energy is up to 291. That’s a solid, clean morning session. Saturday afternoon stays clean with cross-off winds.
Sunday (30th) morning is the standout of the week. We’ve got glassy conditions, a 6 ft NW swell, and the combined energy jumps way up to 627. That’s a proper, fun-sized groundswell with good shape. The wind is dead calm – absolute perfection. The afternoon sees a bit of cross-chop creep in, so get out early.
Monday (31st) holds at 6 ft of NW swell (635 energy), but the wind swings cross-on and cross-shore, making it a bit of a mixed bag. Still surfable but not as clean as Sunday.
From here, the surf slowly fades through the week. Tuesday (1st September) afternoon offers a clean window with 4 ft NW swell (219 energy) and cross-off winds, but it’s a small window. The rest of the week through to Thursday (3rd) drops to weak, knee-high 2 ft waves – more of a paddle than a surf.
Friday (4th) stays small, but we get a late bump in period on Saturday 5th September morning, with a 4 ft NW swell that has a decent 12-second period (349 energy). That’s a long-period groundswell, which will be rippable but might be a bit straight at the beach, so look for a point or reef. The morning wind is a moderate cross-off, so it’s clean but a bit windy. Sunday 6th stays clean with a 4 ft NW swell, but the wind is stronger.
Monday 7th September turns ugly with onshore wind, so take a break.
Tuesday 8th afternoon we get a glassy window with 3 ft NW swell (180 energy) – just a small, clean session.
Wednesday 9th is a write-off with choppy onshore winds.
Now, looking further out, Thursday 10th September looks promising but less certain. The afternoon shows a solid 7 ft NNW swell (644 energy) with clean cross-off winds. That’s a proper size, getting into expert territory, so not for the beginners. Friday 11th morning then pushes up to 8 ft of NW swell, with a massive 1040 combined energy – that’s some serious power. The wind is cross-on, so it might be a bit bumpy, but the size is there for the brave.
Overall, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th August are your best bets for clean, fun waves. The long-range Thursday 10th September is the one to watch for size, but keep an eye on the wind.
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.
