The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk inches and degrees.
First up, we’re looking at Los Locos. This spot is a consistent beginner-friendly break that’s exposed to the northwest swell window. The water right now is a pretty wild 73°F, which is 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s not just a little warm, that’s a proper anomaly.
The start of the window is a bit of a washout. Wednesday the 22nd has a light 4ft swell from the NNE with a short 6-second period and weak energy, but the wind is offshore and clean in the morning, so it’s rideable, just very ordinary. The afternoon gets a bit more bumpy with a moderate breeze. Thursday and Friday are pretty poor with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, small swell, and choppy conditions. The weekend gets worse – Saturday the 25th sees the swell push up to 5ft and even 6ft, but the wind is howling 18-22 mph onshore, making it a lumpy, messy mess. Not worth your time.
Now, things start to turn around. Monday the 27th is a standout. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the northwest, but the period jumps to 10 seconds, which is a real groundswell, and the combined energy is strong. The wind is light and offshore from the ENE in the morning, so the waves will be clean. This is the best session on offer in the first week – good shape, good energy, and it’s a consistent break, so you’ll get waves. The afternoon is still good with a moderate offshore breeze.
Tuesday the 28th is still solid, but the energy drops a bit. Wednesday the 29th is another beauty: glassy conditions in the morning with a 4ft NW swell and a 10-second period. That’s about as clean as it gets. Thursday the 30th morning is also clean with a 4ft swell.
After that, the swell fades through the end of July and into August. Friday the 31st has small 3ft waves, and the weekend of August 1st-2nd is a mixed bag. Sunday morning August 2nd is a sneaky good option: glassy conditions, 3ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period. Clean, small, fun waves for a longboard or a foamie.
Monday August 3rd stays clean with offshore winds and a 3ft NNW swell, but the energy is moderate. After that, the window drops off into tiny, weak, and choppy surf from the 4th onward, with nothing really worth paddling out for.
So, the best bet is Monday the 27th of July, with Wednesday the 29th as a close second. Both offer clean, offshore or glassy conditions with a proper northwest groundswell. Los Locos can get crowded often, so you’ll have company, but the quality will be worth it.
