The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Los Locos. It’s been a bit of a flat, messy start, but there’s some real gold hiding in this forecast if you’re patient.

Right now, the water temp is sitting at a warm 70°, which is about normal for this time of year, so the wettie choice is easy.

The first decent window opens up Wednesday afternoon, September 9th. After some choppy, cross-shore junk in the morning, the wind swings around to a light offshore from the NE, cleaning things up. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the NNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate at 442, and it’s looking clean. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s a solid start.

Thursday the 10th stays nice, with the swell sticking around 4 to 4 ft from the NW and NNW. You’ve got cross-offshore and clean conditions both morning and afternoon. The wave energy eases a bit but is still moderate (341 in the morning, 222 in the afternoon). Good, fun little waves for a cruiser session.

Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are small and weak—2 to 3 ft—with very low energy (dropping to 42 on Saturday morning). Not worth paddling out for, really.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 13th is the standout. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the NW, a long period of 13 seconds, and glassy conditions in the morning with a light ESE breeze. The combined energy is strong at 905. This is a proper groundswell. It’s going to be well-shaped, with good energy and long lulls between sets, making it easier to get outside. The afternoon stays clean with a moderate offshore from the NE at 12 mph. This is the best session on offer—no question about it.

Monday the 14th stays clean but the swell drops back to 4 ft. The wind holds from the E, so you’ll still get clean waves, but it’s a step down from Sunday.

We hit a rough patch from Tuesday the 15th through Wednesday the 16th. Onshore winds and chop kill the quality. Not worth it.

Thursday the 17th picks up again. The morning has a clean 5 ft swell from the NW with a light offshore from the NE. The energy is moderate to strong at 449. By the afternoon, the swell bumps to 5 ft with a 10-second period and a moderate offshore wind from the ENE. That afternoon session is another standout—strong energy at 513 and very clean waves.

Friday the 18th is clean in the morning but the wind cranks up to 22 mph from the ENE in the afternoon, making it messy. The 19th and 20th look clean and fun, but the 20th gets a slight cross-onshore touch, so the quality slips to marginal.

The last week gets ugly. From the 21st, a big, long-period NW groundswell rolls in, but it’s accompanied by strong cross-shore winds and rain. On the 22nd, you’ve got 6 ft at 14 seconds, but the energy is massive (1264) and totally blown out. This setup is more for the kite crew than paddle surfers—way too lumpy and choppy for us.

Overall, the clear winners are Sunday the 13th and Thursday the 17th. Don’t waste your energy on the flat or blown days. Get on it when the offshore wind and clean lines line up.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
