The Lowdown
Howdy, it’s Rusty again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Los Locos in good old feet and miles per hour.
We’re kicking off with a slow patch. Wednesday and Thursday are pretty weak – waves around 2ft, nothing special, and the energy is low. Friday is a washout with poor conditions and onshore wind.
But hold onto your board, because Saturday the 5th is your first real chance. Saturday morning brings 2-3ft waves from the NW with a solid 12-second period. The wind is light and clean from the ENE, making for some nice lines. The energy is moderate. Then, Saturday afternoon is the standout: 3ft from the NNW, a very long 14-second groundswell, and clean offshore wind. The energy jumps way up. This is the one to circle. Expect a few people out, so be ready to share.
Sunday the 6th has some waves in the 4-5ft range in the morning, but a light cross-onshore breeze makes it a bit messy. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a gentle offshore, giving you 4ft waves. Decent, but Saturday is better. Monday afternoon offers a small, clean window with 2-3ft waves and a 13-second period.
The middle of the week from Tuesday the 8th to Thursday the 10th is mostly just okay – small waves, touchy conditions. Not worth losing sleep over. Then Friday the 11th morning goes glassy with calm wind and 3ft waves. That’s a real clean, easy session.
Looking into the second week, things shape up again. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th offer some rideable 3ft waves, but the conditions are a bit mixed. The big one for the second week is Wednesday the 16th of September. Wednesday morning brings 5ft waves from the NW with a solid 12-second period, clean conditions, and strong energy. That’s expert territory – too big for beginners. The afternoon stays clean with 4-5ft waves. Thursday the 17th finishes with a glassy morning and 3ft of fun surf.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
So, a slow start, a killer weekend around the 5th and 6th, a quiet spell, and then another solid session around the 16th. Get after Saturday the 5th afternoon if you can.
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.
