The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what Los Locos is serving up.
We’re looking at a slow start, with the first few days offering real small, average surf. Water temp is about 71°F, a bit warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing wild, just a touch on the warm side.
The first week is pretty flat. From Monday the 10th through Wednesday the 12th, there’s tiny swell from 1ft to 2ft out of the NW, with weak wave energy (between 46 and 94). Winds are light and clean, glassy at times on Monday morning, so the surface is nice, but there’s just no power. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are poor, with cross-onshore winds and chop. Saturday the 15th sees a bump to 3ft from the north, but the period is short at 7 seconds and the wind is messy, so the quality is still poor – the combined energy (132) is moderate but not well-formed. This stretch isn't for paddle surfing; the beach setup with onshore wind might be more for the kite crowd.
The first real standout hits Thursday the 20th into Friday the 21st. Swell picks up to 3ft – 4ft from the NW with a longer period of 10 to 11 seconds. That’s a proper, long-period groundswell, meaning better shape and more punch, though at a beach break that long period can make things close out a bit. The wave energy jumps to moderate (241-246), and winds on Thursday are light cross-shore. That Thursday is the best of the first two weeks – clean enough, with some real juice. It’s a promising window, though Friday afternoon gets a bit of cross-onshore.
Later, Sunday the 23rd offers a glassy morning with 2ft NW swell, small but super clean. The real size shows on Tuesday the 25th, with 4ft from the NW and a period of 9 seconds, combined energy of 302 – solid moderate energy. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, with a risk of thunderstorms, so it’s only for the experienced. That size in those conditions is expert territory.
Best on offer: Thursday the 20th. That long-period NW groundswell with light winds is the standout – clean, with some real shape. Sunday the 23rd morning is a close second for a glassy, smaller session.
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.
