The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.
The first few days? Honestly, flat. There’s nothing doing on Sunday, August 2nd, or Monday the 3rd. The swell is tiny, and conditions are poor. We’re looking at a slow start with a bit of a gap before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
Things start to perk up a little from Wednesday afternoon, August 5th. The surf is still small, but we get a bit of clean, cross-offshore wind. It’s not a classic, but it’s surfable. The real kicker comes on Thursday, August 6th. We’ve got a NW swell at 4ft, and the wind swings offshore from the ENE, making for clean waves. The combined energy hits 210 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some push. The water is 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Friday the 7th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning goes glassy, but the swell drops back to 2ft. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The following days up to the 16th are a long run of small, clean waves. The swell hovers around 1ft to 3ft, with plenty of offshore and glassy conditions, but the energy is low. It’s the kind of period where you’ll be scratching for a ride, but the lack of crowd pressure might be a plus.
Now, the standout. Monday, August 17th, is the one to circle. The swell jumps back up to 4ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds. The morning is glassy, and the combined energy is 217 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and offshore from the NNE. This is the best looking swell in the whole run. The swell direction is right on the money for the optimum NW swell direction. For a beginner-friendly spot like Los Locos, 4ft is just right – not too big, not too small. But heads up: this spot is often crowded, so expect company.
So, overall, the first week is a slow burn, but August 17th is your best bet. Bring a patient paddle and a small board.
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.
