The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough outlook. We're looking at a long, dry spell before any real surf shows its face. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for a decent paddle. The water temp is sitting at a pretty warm 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only good news for a while.
We kick off Wednesday the 5th with tiny swell, grim conditions, and a cross-shore breeze. Not worth getting wet. The whole of the first week is a struggle – we get a couple of moments on Thursday the 6th where the wind goes offshore and the swell bumps up to about 3ft from the NNW, but it's still just ordinary. The energy is weak, barely registering a 134 – 145 on the energy scale. This pattern, with a few small, clean-ish windows and then a lot of choppy, onshore junk, holds right through until Monday the 18th.
There is a real standout on the horizon, though. It's a long way out, but it looks promising. On Wednesday the 19th of August, things finally start to line up. We've got a solid NW groundswell rolling in, hitting 4ft to 5ft with a period stretching to 11 seconds. That's proper energy – the numbers jump right up to 320 and 456, which is a real kick. The wind is set to be light and cross-offshore from the North, and the morning is glassy. That’s the best combo we’ve seen by a mile. The swell direction is straight out of the NW, which is exactly what this exposed spot wants. It's going to be a day for the experienced crew, as it's a little punchy for beginners, but for anyone who knows what they're doing, that's the one to circle. Just be aware that Los Locos can get crowded, and with a forecast like that, it'll be a popular spot.
The swell hangs around into Thursday the 20th, but it's a step down, and the wind is stronger. So, the call is simple: wait it out. There's nothing worth chasing until that Wednesday the 19th. That's the day.
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.
