The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start. We’re lookin’ at a real flat spell to kick things off. The swell energy is weak, with readings sitting in the double digits, and the waves are just too small and weak to bother with. There’s a gap from now until the morning of Friday, August 7th where there’s really nothing worth paddling out for. You’ll see a few little bumps here and there—like Thursday afternoon, July 30th, with a tiny 2ft NW swell and clean cross-off wind, but it’s just ordinary. Not worth rushin’ for.
The water temp is sittin’ around 71°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for this time of year. Nothing wild, just a little bit of a warm touch.
Now, the real story starts Friday, August 7th. That morning, Los Locos wakes up. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NW, period around 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to 206 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, and it’s clean. That’s the standout. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and I’m feelin’ it. This is the best on offer in the whole window. The swell direction matches the optimum (NW), the break is exposed and consistent, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot so 4ft is perfect for learning or just cruisin’. The crowd factor is “often,” so don’t expect it to be empty, but it’s worth it.
The afternoon of the 7th holds similar size (4ft) but the wind ramps up to 16 mph from the NE, which is still offshore but getting a bit strong. It’ll be a bit bumpy, but still surfable.
After that, we get a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday, August 8th, has a bigger push of swell—4ft from the NW with a 10-second period and energy hitting 296 (moderate), but the wind is cross-on from the WNW, and that’s gonna chop it up. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions,” so skip it.
Then we roll into Monday, August 10th. This one’s a real treat. The morning is glassy—wind from the N at 3 mph, which is basically nothing. The swell is 3ft from the NNW with a period of 11 seconds, and the energy is a solid 335 (moderate). “Expect good surf conditions” again. This is your second standout. The longer period means the waves will have a bit more shape and punch, but at a beach break like Los Locos, it might get a little straight. Still, with glassy conditions, it’s gonna be clean as a whistle. The afternoon stays good with a 4ft NW swell and cross-off wind.
After that, the swell drops off fast. Tuesday, August 11th, through the end of the forecast window, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly onshore junk. Not worth chasin’.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The only real windows are Friday, August 7th, and Monday, August 10th. Friday is the most consistent pick with solid offshore wind, and Monday gives you glassy perfection. Don’t sleep on ’em.
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. 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.
