The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s cooking for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a patch of nothing. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak swell and not much to get excited about. Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th have some tiny waves but the conditions are poor, so don’t bother paddling out. The real story starts to build later in the week.
We see a bit of life showing up on Monday afternoon the 20th, with a 5ft swell from the NNE and a gentle offshore wind from the NE. The combined energy is moderate (282), and it’s starting to look cleaner. Tuesday the 21st keeps that offshore wind going, but the swell is a bit smaller and the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and weak. The afternoon session on Tuesday is the first real call, with 5ft and clean offshore winds, but the short period keeps it from being a standout.
The real standout window is the end of the month. Wednesday the 29th of July is the pick of the bunch. The morning is glassy, with a 5ft swell from the NNW and a long period of 12 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is strong (843), and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be clean and powerful. This is a session for the experienced crew, as the size and power will be too much for beginners. The wind stays offshore through the afternoon, keeping it clean. Thursday the 30th also offers good clean waves with a 3ft to 3ft NW swell, glassy in the morning, and offshore in the afternoon.
The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 72°F – that’s a solid 4°F warmer than average, so it’s a treat.
Remember, this is an exposed NW-facing break, and it’s consistent. Crowds are often here, especially when it’s good, so get there early for the Wednesday morning glass-off.
The following week into early August is a mixed bag of smaller, weaker swells and less favourable wind, but there are a few clean windows. The second week is more of a wait-and-see, but the window around the 29th and 30th is a solid bet.
Rusty out.

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.

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.
