The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the forecast for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s a pretty quiet run. There’s a big gap of around ten days where the surf is just too small or messy to get excited about. The first real chance of a wave isn’t until Monday the 20th, and even then it’s only just starting to creep up.
The standout window is the final few days. Starting on Monday the 27th, things start to wake up. The morning of Tuesday the 28th is where it’s at. Los Locos will see a solid NNW groundswell coming in at 6ft with a nice long 11-second period from the NW. The wind is glassy – that’s a huge plus. The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 71°. The combined energy is pumping at 713 (moderate to strong). It’s not going to be frighteningly big, but it’s a proper, clean wave perfect for a beginner-friendly spot like this. The wind stays offshore through the afternoon, so you’ll get clean faces all day. The crowd situation is listed as “often,” so expect a few heads out. This is the pick of the forecast.
Before that, Monday the 27th has some decent, clean surf too, with 4ft NW swell and cross-offshore winds, but it’s a notch down in quality.
The week before that, from the 20th to the 22nd, there’s a small pulse of swell from the NNE, but it’s wind-affected and not really worth the paddle unless you’re desperate.
The very end of the run, around the 29th, still has some clean, offshore waves in the 4-4ft range, but the energy is dropping off. It’s still fun, but Tuesday the 28th is the one to circle.
Stay stoked,
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. 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.
