The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty again. Let’s break it down with feet and miles per hour.

The first half of the forecast is where you wanna be, with a solid run of clean surf kicking off Friday the 28th of August. There’s a bit of a flat spell mid-second week, but a longer-period groundswell shows up Saturday the 5th of September – that one’s got potential but it’s a ways out.

Friday the 28th starts average. Morning brings a 5ft NW swell with cross-on wind from the SSE at 6 mph, creating chop. The combined energy is 216 (moderate). But the afternoon cleans up nicely. Wind shifts to NNW at 6 mph as a light cross-off, the swell drops to 4ft from the NW, period stretches to 10 seconds, and energy hits 256 (moderate). That’s the first good window.

Saturday the 29th is solid. Morning has 5ft NW swell, 9-second period, cross-off wind from the ESE at just 3 mph, and energy at 361 (moderate). Afternoon stays clean with 4ft and a NNE cross-off breeze.

But the real stand out? Sunday morning, the 30th. Glassy flat calm, zero wind, and a consistent 5ft NW swell at 10 seconds. The combined energy is 425 (moderate-strong). That’s your session. Clean, easy, and not too big for a crowd. Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing unusual.

Monday the 31st is almost as good. Glassy morning at 5ft, but the afternoon steals it: 6ft NW swell, 11-second period, and a clean offshore from the NNE at 6 mph. Energy hits 670 (moderate-strong). That’s proper groundswell. Los Locos is exposed to the NW and this direction lines up perfectly.

Tuesday the 1st of September holds up with waist-to-chest high surf, glassy mornings and offshore afternoons, energy in the moderate 200s.

Then we hit a lull. From Wednesday the 2nd through Friday the 4th, swell drops below 2ft, energy sinks into the 20s and 30s (weak). Knee-high slop for three days. Skip it.

Now the second week highlight: Saturday the 5th of September. A new NW swell with a very long period of 14 seconds. Morning has 4ft, but the afternoon jumps to 6ft from the NW at 13 seconds. The combined energy in the afternoon is massive – 932 (strong). Offshore ENE wind at 15 mph, clean. This is groundswell with serious power. At a beach break, that long period can make waves stand up fast and close out, so it’s not for everyone. For experienced surfers, it’ll be a heavy, well-shaped wave. Beginners stay on the sand – 6ft with that energy is expert territory.

Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are smaller but clean, energy dropping back to moderate levels (364 and 196). Tuesday the 8th brings another 4ft NW bump with offshore winds.

From Wednesday the 9th onward, it’s small and messy with cross-on winds, lumpy chop, and rain. Waves under 2ft with very poor conditions through the 12th.

Pick your moments: Sunday the 30th of August for a glassy, user-friendly session, or Saturday the 5th of September for a serious, powerful groundswell – if you’ve got the skills.

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.
