The Lowdown

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next week and a half is looking pretty bleak for any real waves at Los Locos. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy surf. We’re talking about a solid gap of almost no decent rides from now until about the 22nd. It’s a bit of a flat spell, and honestly, for this spot, that’s not all that unusual. But don’t hang up the board just yet, because there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

The opening days are a write-off. Saturday the 8th has almost nothing, just a tiny 1ft pulse from the NNE with a short 5-second period. The energy reading is a weak 11, so it’s barely a ripple. Sunday is a touch bigger, but it’s from the WNW and the wind is all wrong, making it cross-on and choppy. Monday the 10th through to Friday the 15th will see some surfable waves, but they’re just ordinary. The swell hovers around 1.5ft to 2.5ft, and while the mornings often have glassy conditions with a light offshore, the energy is weak, with readings stuck in the 50s and 70s. It’s not going to be worth the paddle for anything more than a longboard and a lot of patience. The water temp is sitting at 72.3°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.

The weekend of the 16th and 17th stays in the same poor-to-ordinary range. It’s all small and unorganized, with the energy dropping off further. We’re just scraping by with tiny, weak waves. This continues into the week of the 18th and 19th, still small. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 19th, but it’s from the north with a super short 5-second period, so it’ll be gutless.

Things start to stir on the 22nd of August. Saturday the 22nd is where it finally turns on. The swell builds to a more respectable 3ft in the morning, coming from the NW with a 9-second period. The energy jumps to a solid 163, and by the afternoon, it’s even better. We're looking at 3.5ft of clean, lined-up swell from the NW with the same 9-second period, and the energy is up to a strong 244. The wind is light offshore, so it should be clean and fun. This is the standout of the whole stretch. It’s a proper NW swell hitting the exposed break, and for Los Locos, that’s exactly what we want. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so this will be a fun one for everyone out there.

The swell continues to build into Sunday the 23rd, but it gets serious. We’re talking 7ft in the morning and up to 8ft by the afternoon, with the period stretching out to 11 seconds. This is a big jump, and the energy readings are off the charts—nearly 1000 in the morning and over 1500 in the afternoon. This is way beyond a beginner wave. This is expert territory. The long period means it will have real power, and while it could be a proper spectacle, it might be too much for the average punter. The morning wind is a bit cross-on, which could mess with the shape, but the afternoon is cross-shore. If you're a solid surfer, this is your window, but don’t even think about it if you’re not. It’s a two-day pulse that looks promising, with Saturday being the pick for most of us. Keep in mind this is a long-range call, so things can shift, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

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.
