The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Los Locos.
First thing, this spot is a consistent, exposed NW swell magnet, and it’s a beginner-friendly wave. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The next few days are a bit of a write-off with weak, short-period windswell and onshore or cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The combined swell energy is only in the low hundreds (128 and 118), and the surf is poor. Honestly, Sunday the 26th is a day to stay on the beach.
Then things change. Monday the 27th is the standout. The swell jumps up to a clean 5ft from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds, giving it some real push. The combined energy is a solid 575. But the real magic is the morning: glassy conditions, just a slight air, making it perfect. The wind swings offshore in the afternoon from the NE, keeping it clean. This is the best session on offer, no question.
Tuesday the 28th is still good, but the swell drops a touch to 4ft. The wind is offshore or cross-offshore, so it’s still clean, with energy in the 336 range. Worth a paddle.
After that, the swell fades fast. From Wednesday the 29th all the way through Saturday the 9th of August, it’s a long stretch of weak, small waves. Lots of days with combined energy down in the double digits or low 100s. The wind is often glassy or clean, but there’s just not enough wave to get excited about. There are a few days with light offshore winds, but the swell is puny, mostly under 3ft. It’s surfable but ordinary.
Now, looking way out to Monday the 10th of August, another pulse shows up. The forecast shows 5ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and combined energy of 394. The wind is offshore from the NE. That’s a promising long-range call, but it’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it. It could be the next real window after that Monday the 27th.
So, the standout is absolutely Monday the 27th. If you can only get one session, that’s it. The rest of the fortnight is mostly small, with that one potential pulse on the 10th of August that’s worth watching.
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.

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.
