The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through it.
The outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. The swell is going to be in short supply for a long stretch. It’s a long wait for anything remotely worth the paddle.
The one time it looks like it might actually turn on is on Tuesday, August 11th. The morning at Los Locos will see a clean 4ft swell from the NNW with light offshore winds out of the NE. It’s not a big energy day, but with glassy conditions, those waves will look nice. It’s an exposed beginner-friendly break, so that size should be fun for most. The period is short at 6 seconds, so don’t expect a ton of push.
That afternoon, the swell jumps to 6ft from the NNW, and the energy gets strong. But the wind turns cross-on from the WNW, kicking up a little bump. The size is the biggest of the whole run, but you'll have to take the good with the not-so-clean.
The water temp is a touch warmer than average at 71°, but you won’t be in for long unless you find a wave.
Everything else in this 16-day run is flat or messy. Most days are under 2ft with onshore, side-shore, or light winds that just can’t make anything out of nothing. The wind blows harder on a few afternoons, so if you’ve got a kite, you might find some fun, but for a surfboard, hang tight.
Signing off,
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.
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.
