Table - best surf conditions forecast for Los Locos over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up. The early part of the week is pretty average with small swell and bumpy winds. Water temps are running real warm for this time of year, about 23°, almost 2° above normal, so no need for a thick suit right now. The first real chance we get is Monday the 27th of July at Los Locos.
That Monday is the standout. Offshore NE wind, clean lines, and the swell comes in at 5 to 6 feet from the NNW, with a 10-second period. Combined swell energy is 719, which is solid moderate energy. Morning looks glassy, and the afternoon stays clean with a moderate offshore breeze. This is the session to aim for. The direction is a touch north of true optimum, but it’s going to hold.
Tuesday the 28th still has clean conditions, with swell around 4 to 4 feet. Smaller but fun, with light cross-off breeze.
After that, it fades hard. There’s a couple glassy mornings on the 1st and 2nd of August, but the swell is barely 2 to 3 feet, and the energy is low – more for the longboard or a flat day paddle. The second week is hit-and-miss with small, weak swells and messy winds. No real power behind anything.
Crowds can show up at Los Locos, so if you can get out that Monday morning, you’ll probably have it best.

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.
