The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s on the menu for our little corner of the world. With the water sitting at a warm 72°, that’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home for now.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet start to the forecast. The first few days aren't offering much, with tiny waves and less-than-ideal conditions. The first real chance to get wet comes around Friday the 28th of August. The early morning is the pick of the day, with a glassy surface and a clean 5 ft of swell from the NW. The wave energy is moderate, coming in at 256, and it’s a short period swell at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and fun for the longboard or a fish. The crowd factor is real here, as Los Locos is often packed, so get there early.
Saturday the 29th of August is a true standout. The morning is pure glass again, with a clean 4 ft from the NW and a moderate energy reading of 320. The afternoon turns on with a clean offshore breeze from the NE, sculpting that 4 ft swell into nice little lines. This is the best run of the week, with the wind working in our favour.
The pattern starts to fade after the weekend. Sunday the 30th has a glassy 3 ft in the morning, but it’s not as punchy. Monday the 31st gets messy with onshore winds. The next real highlight pops up on Tuesday the 1st of September, with a dead-calm glassy morning on 4 ft, and then a clean offshore breeze in the afternoon. It’s worth a look.
The 2nd of September brings a bigger pulse of 5 ft from the NW, with a moderate energy of 617 and a period bumping up to 11 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-off in the morning, but the forecast calls it marginal, so pick your tide wisely. After that, things get choppy and inconsistent for a long stretch, with nothing really worth paddling out for until the 8th of September, when a clean cross-off breeze might make the 4 ft surf a bit more appealing.
If you’re looking for the best, hit Saturday the 29th of August. If you can’t make that, Friday the 28th morning or Tuesday the 1st of September are your next best bets.
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.

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.
