The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf. The next couple weeks here at Los Locos are mostly a tease, with a long stretch of nothing burger conditions. From now until about the 13th, it’s all small and weak. Then we hit a serious dry spell with almost nothing worth paddling out for until the end of the third week.
Today, Sunday the 9th, forget it. We’ve got a weak 2ft NW swell and a cross-shore wind making a mess of things. Monday the 10th is better – only 2ft from the NW, but the morning goes glassy with light airs from the NE. Small but clean. Afternoon turns offshore from the NNE, so still clean. Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are the same story: 2ft waves with glassy mornings and clean afternoons. Ridable for sure, but nothing special.
From Thursday the 13th through Saturday the 15th, it’s downright poor. Swell drops to 1.0ft - 2ft, the wind is onshore or cross-shore out of the WNW, and it’s choppy. Not worth suiting up. Sunday the 16th pops up to 3ft from the NW, but the wind is messy in the morning. The afternoon gets a cross-offshore breeze from the north, cleaning up those 3ft waves. Could be a sneaky good session.
Then the hole gets deeper. From the 17th through the 21st, most days have swell under 2ft, weak energy, and poor wind. Rain and wind mix in. It’s a total blank.
But here’s the pay-off. Saturday, August 22nd, is the standout. A solid NW swell pushes in: 6ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, with moderate to strong energy. The morning goes glassy with a light easterly breeze, and the afternoon is clean with a NE offshore wind. Los Locos is exposed, consistent, and loves a NW swell. The water is about 71°, which is a touch warmer than usual for August, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit. This is the window to plan for. Crowds will probably be a thing, but for this quality, it’s expected.
Sunday the 23rd still has some fun waves from the NNW around 3ft, but the morning is blown out. The afternoon gets clean with a cross-offshore NNW breeze. Monday the 24th wraps it up nicely with 5ft from the NNW and clean conditions in the afternoon, so another good chance to score.
Bottom line: do not waste your time on the first two weeks. Target Saturday the 22nd and maybe Monday the 24th for the cleanest, biggest surf of the forecast.

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.
