The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a 16-day window for Los Locos, and it’s a bit of a slow burner. The first few days are a write-off, but there’s a real good run of clean swell coming in the second week. Let’s get into it.

Right now, there’s nothing doing. The first couple of days are flat with poor surf conditions, so don’t bother paddling out. You’re looking at a gap of about 5 days before anything worth getting wet for shows up.

Monday the 20th is where it starts to kick off. The morning is still marginal with a 5ft north swell, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s a bit messy. The real action starts Monday afternoon. The wind swings northeast offshore, clean as a whistle, pushing a 5ft swell from the north-northeast. The combined energy is moderate (274), and the waves are going to be good. It’s a consistent spot, so expect plenty of rides, but it’s also an exposed break, so it’ll handle that size.

Tuesday the 21st is a similar story. The morning is glassy with a 4ft north swell, but the energy is weak (130). The afternoon cranks back up with a 5ft north-northeast swell and a solid 12 mph offshore wind. The energy is moderate (263) and the surf is good. This is a solid run of clean, offshore waves.

The standout of the whole forecast? Saturday the 1st of August. No question. The morning starts with a 5ft northwest swell at 10 seconds, and the wind is light offshore from the east-northeast. The energy is strong (533). The afternoon gets even better – 6ft from the northwest, still offshore at 12 mph, and the energy jumps to a very strong (622). This is the best on offer. Clean, consistent, and that northwest swell is right in the optimum direction for this break. With the water temperature about average for the time of year, it’s a perfect setup for a long session.

The runs before and after that are solid, too. Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th of July both have 4ft northwest swells with clean offshore winds and moderate to strong energy (320-377). And Sunday the 2nd of August still has a good 5ft northwest swell, but the wind is blowing a bit harder at 19 mph, making it a bit more for the experienced crew.

That’s the story. Get out there for that Saturday the 1st of August session. It’s gonna be a good one.

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.
