Alright, crew. Rusty here with the rundown for the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat spell for the most part. We’ve got a few moments that are worth a mention, but it’s slim pickings. The first real chance to get wet is on Monday morning, July 6th.
The spot we’re looking at is Los Locos. It’s an exposed northwest swell magnet, consistent, and forgiving for beginners. The water is sitting at 71°F, which is about 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real treat.
Monday morning, July 6th kicks it off with a tiny 2ft NW swell. The key here is the light offshore breeze from the ENE, keeping things glassy and clean. The combined energy is weak at 72, but for the size, that’s a clean, rideable wave. This is your best bet for the whole period. Monday afternoon drops to a 1ft wave with offshore winds, but it’s just too small.
From Tuesday, July 7th through Friday, July 10th, it’s a mess. Small waves, 1ft to 2ft, with cross-onshore winds ruining the surface. Stay home.
Saturday, July 11th brings a tiny pulse. A 1ft to 2ft NW swell with cross-offshore and offshore winds from the ENE and NE. It’s clean, but weak, with energy in the 70s. It’s a longboard-only day.
Then we hit a dead zone. From Sunday, July 12th all the way through Sunday, July 19th, it’s tiny, weak, and blown out. Wave heights drop to 0.3ft to 2ft, and the combined energy falls into the single digits and low teens. No bueno.
The final push from Monday, July 20th to Tuesday, July 21st is just ugly. Strong winds, rain, and lumpy, choppy conditions with negligible swell.
So here’s the deal: Your one shot is Monday morning, July 6th at Los Locos for a small, glassy, beginner-friendly wave. After that, it’s a long stretch of quiet. It happens here sometimes, but don’t lose hope – forecasts can always shift.
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.
