Los Locos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking at Los Locos. It's a pretty quiet picture for a while, so don't go rushing to grab your board just yet. We're looking at a stretch that starts off rough, but there's a definite window of hope smack in the middle.

The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are a no-go with fresh cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. You're looking at weak, lumpy conditions with combined swell energy barely getting going. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild to report there.

Alright, now for the good stuff. Monday the 27th is the day to circle on your calendar. The wind swings around to a light NNE, going glassy first thing, and the swell jumps to a clean 5 ft from the NNW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy hits a solid 559, which is proper moderate energy. This is a standout. It's a consistent beginner spot, so expect the crowds to be out, but the conditions will be worth it for a fun, clean wave. That afternoon the wind goes offshore from the NE at 16 mi/h, keeping it clean. Tuesday the 28th morning is still a good call, with a clean 4 ft NNW swell and light cross-offshore wind.

After that peak, things start to fade. Wednesday the 29th through Friday the 31st sees the size drop and the wind turns onshore again, so we're back to poor surf conditions. The swell energy falls off a cliff, dipping into weak two-digit figures.

We then hit a long, dry gap. From Saturday the 1st of August all the way through to Monday the 4th, there's nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny swell, poor conditions, just flat and ordinary.

There's a glimmer of life on Tuesday the 5th of August. The morning stays glassy with a small 3 ft NW swell, but it's only just surfable. The afternoon is a bit better, with a 4 ft NNW swell and clean conditions, pushing the combined energy to 217. It's not the standout Monday was, but it's the best option in that second week. The energy drops away again after that, with small, clean waves on the 8th but nothing exciting.

So, bottom line: if you're waiting for a session, hold out for Monday the 27th of July. That's your best bet by a long shot. The rest of the window is mostly flat or junk, apart from a little pulse around the 5th of August which is worth a look but is a long way out and less certain.

Rusty.
