The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but hang in there, there are some real gems hiding in this forecast for Los Locos.
Right now, it’s pretty flat. The first few days are a write-off – tiny, weak waves and the wind’s all over the place. Thursday and Friday will have you just watchin’ the horizon. The combined energy is barely a whisper at around 38 (weak energy). Surfable, maybe, but you wouldn’t bother paddling out.
Things start to get interesting come Saturday the 5th of September. A new pulse of swell fills in, around 4ft from the NW with a long 14-second period – that's some proper groundswell energy, pumping the energy up to 663 (moderate energy). The wind’s cross-off in the morning, so Los Locos will be clean and lined up. This is the first real standout of the period. Saturday afternoon bumps up to 5ft but a strong cross-off wind messes with the quality a bit.
Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are a write-off – onshore winds and messy conditions. Not worth your time. Tuesday the 8th morning cleans up nicely with light cross-off wind and fun 4ft NW swell. A nice little session to be had.
Then we hit the big one. Wednesday the 9th of September is a beauty. Glassy conditions in the morning with a solid 5ft of NW swell, period around 10 seconds, and energy hitting 540 (moderate energy). That’s clean, powerful, and punchy. This, along with Saturday morning, is your best bet for the first week. The offshore wind in the afternoon keeps it clean, too.
The next few days are a bit on and off. Thursday the 10th morning is glassy with 4ft waves – a good opportunity for a relaxed session. But the wind swings onshore again in the afternoons. Friday the 11th is a write-off, and Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are small and ordinary.
Now, here’s the real sleeper. Monday the 14th of September. Holy moly. Look at that. An absolute pulse of swell hits, 7ft to 7ft from the NW with a 14-second period. The combined energy is a massive 1649 (very strong energy). This is big, powerful groundswell. The morning is glassy – dead calm – and the afternoon is clean. This is for experienced surfers only; 6ft+ on a beach setup like this is not for the faint of heart. If you’ve got the skills, that Monday morning session will be one for the memory bank.
Tuesday the 15th the swell is still solid at 6ft, but the wind is onshore, making it choppy and messy. The rest of the week drops back down to small, ordinary waves with picky winds.
So, to sum it up: the standouts are Saturday morning, 5th September, and Wednesday morning, 9th September for the first week. For the big dogs, Monday 14th September is the obvious target. There’s a gap of a few days of poor surf between the 10th and the 14th, but that Monday makes it all worthwhile.
Stay safe out there.

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.
