The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days look rough, with a stormy Saturday and Sunday that’s just not worth paddling out for. The wind is messy and the waves are small and choppy. Hold tight.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday, July 27th. The morning sees a clean little pulse from the NW pushing about 5ft, with a period of 10 seconds and a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 522. It’s looking like a proper session with clean conditions. By the afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the ENE at 15 mph, and the swell bumps up to 5ft from the NNW, with energy jumping to 594. This is the standout of the whole outlook. That’s clean, offshore wind and a solid waist-to-chest high swell. Los Locos is a consistent, exposed beach break, and with the wind this good, the setup will be firing. This is a no-brainer – get in the water.
Tuesday the 28th is still worth a look. The morning is clean with a 4ft NW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is a solid 309. It’s a step down from Monday, but still a fun option. The afternoon drops off a bit as the wind goes cross-shore.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is a bit of a mixed bag. There are some surfable windows, like the glassy dawn on Saturday, August 1st, but the swell is tiny. We see a few clean windows with small swell, but nothing to get too excited about. The crowd profile at Los Locos is "often" busy, so for a Monday-morning freesurf, you might have it a bit more to yourself.
Now, looking way out, there’s a potential big swell on the cards for Sunday, August 9th. The afternoon shows a 8ft swell from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a heavy, short-period swell, and the combined energy is a very strong 711. This is expert territory at that size, and it comes with a cross-onshore wind that will likely chop it up. It’s promising, but a long way out, so keep a close eye on it.
So, the final word: Monday, July 27th is the absolute pick of the run. Get on it. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the 4/3 at home.
Stay stoked.
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.
