The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at your local stretch. The next couple of weeks are a flat spell for the most part, with a brief window of something rideable around the 20th and 21st of July. Overall, it’s a pretty quiet time for paddle surfing, so keep your expectations low.
We start off Wednesday morning the 15th with nothing – just tiny, messy wind ripples. Water’s sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit might be a bit more forgiving. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t come until Monday the 20th. There’s a long gap of nearly a week of near-flat, poor conditions.
On Monday the 20th, the afternoon at Los Locos looks like the best of a very average bunch. The swell picks up to 5ft from the NNE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind turns gentle offshore from the NNE. That’ll clean it up a bit, and the combined energy is moderate (296). It’s still not a standout, but you’ll find a few knees to waist-high runners. The crowd is often here, so expect company.
The following day, Tuesday the 21st, is probably the pick of the whole outlook. The morning session is glassy with 5ft of NNE swell, same short period. The energy is moderate (181). It’s a bit fat, but clean. The afternoon gets a moderate offshore breeze from the NE, bumping the swell to 5ft and the energy to 251. It’ll be a little more powerful, but still short period. If you’re after the best wave, Tuesday morning’s glassy conditions are the ticket. This is a consistent, exposed spot, so it rarely goes completely dead, but it’s not firing.
After that, the surf quickly fades. From Wednesday the 22nd onward, it drops back to knee-high or less, with onshore winds ruining most of it. The 26th (Sunday) shows a bit of 4ft NNW swell and light cross-off winds, but it’s merely ordinary. The 27th through the 30th are all small, poor, or glassy tiny waves. The second week is a write-off – nothing to plan a trip around.
The main takeaway: if you’re desperate for a surf, the 20th and 21st have the most chance, but don’t expect anything special. This is a quiet pattern for the area.
Rusty.

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.
