The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at Los Locos. This is a consistent, beginner-friendly spot that’s exposed to the north-west. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, but a nice little bonus.
Right now, the surf is a mess. We’re looking at a solid run of onshore and cross-shore winds for the next few days, and the swell is small and weak. From Friday the 24th right through to Sunday the 26th, it’s pretty much a write-off. The waves are small, choppy, and gutless. The combined energy is low, mostly under 100 or just nudging into the moderate range, but the wind is ruining it. Not worth paddling out.
Then, a shift. Monday the 27th is the one to circle. The morning starts with a glassy surface, a slight air, and the swell jumps up to 5ft from the NW with a nice 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 522, which is solid. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind goes glassy, the surf is clean. By the afternoon, the wind turns offshore from the NE, and the swell is 5ft, with the energy hitting 604. This is the standout. The waves will be clean, lined up, and have some punch. It’s a bit much for total beginners at 5ft, but for anyone with a bit of time in the water, this is the best session of the next two weeks.
Tuesday the 28th is still decent, with 4ft to 4ft NW swell, clean conditions, and offshore or cross-off winds. The energy is still good around 300. It’s a solid follow-up day.
After that, it slowly fades. Wednesday the 29th is still surfable but very ordinary, with smaller waves and glassy conditions in the morning. Then from Thursday the 30th through to the 7th of August, it’s mostly small, weak, and onshore. There are a few moments of clean surf late in the first week of August, but the waves are tiny – 2ft to 2ft – and the energy is low. Not worth a special trip.
Saturday the 1st of August sees a pulse of longer-period swell, 4ft to 4ft from the WNW, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy. The energy is high, around 486, but the wind kills it. That’s a frustrating one.
The rest of the first week of August is a slow fade. The swells get smaller and smaller, and the wind stays unfavourable. By the 8th of August, it’s down to 0.7ft of bump. A real dud to end the run.
So, the clear winner: Monday the 27th of July. Morning glass, afternoon offshore, 5ft to 5ft of long-period NW swell. That’s the one. Tuesday the 28th is a solid backup. Other than that, it’s a pretty quiet outlook.

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.
