Table - best surf conditions forecast for Los Locos over the next 16 days.


Alright, let’s have a look at this stretch. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet run overall. We’ve got one spot that’s showing a pulse of clean, small waves, but most of the fortnight is going to be pretty flat or ordinary. There’s a notable gap of several days with no real surf to get excited about after the first week, so don’t hold your breath.

The best bet by a long shot is Los Locos. This is a consistent, beginner-friendly beach break that’s exposed to the NW. The water is sitting at 70° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 4° above average, so that’s a nice bonus.

The first session that’s worth paddling out for is Wednesday afternoon, July 8th. We’ve got a small 1ft NW swell with a 10-second period, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The combined swell energy is weak (41), so don’t expect much push, but it’s surfable. The Thursday morning, July 9th is similar but a touch better: 2ft NW swell, still light cross-off wind, and a bit more energy (49). The Saturday morning, July 11th is where it gets interesting. The swell is still small at 1ft, but the wind is offshore from the NNE at only 3 mph, and the period jumps to 11 seconds. That’s a longer-period groundswell, so the waves will have more shape and energy for the size, though it’s a beach break, so it might close out a bit. The combined energy is still weak (75). The Sunday morning, July 12th is a standout: glassy conditions, 2ft NW swell, 10-second period, and clean as a whistle. The combined energy (77) is the highest of the whole run, still weak, but for a small day, it’ll be fun. The Monday morning, July 13th sees a bump in size to 3ft, but the period drops to 6 seconds, making it weak and messy (72). The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s poor.

After that, things fall apart. From Tuesday, July 14th all the way through to Wednesday, July 22nd, it’s a long stretch of tiny, poor surf. Most days have swell under 2ft, with periods all over the place, and the combined energy barely cracks 60. The wind is often cross-on or cross, and the wave comment is almost always “poor surf conditions.” There’s a tiny spark on Friday morning, July 17th with 3ft and glassy conditions, but it’s short-period at 7 seconds and the energy is weak (61) – it’s surfable but not worth a special trip. The Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd has a 2ft NW swell with a 5-second period and a gentle offshore wind (28 energy), but it’s just too weak and short-period to get excited about.

So, if you’re keen, hit it on the Saturday morning, July 11th or Sunday morning, July 12th for the cleanest, longest-period little waves. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
