The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for Los Locos.

We’ve got a pretty solid run of surf coming up, but it’s a bit of a slow starter. The first couple of days are a write-off, but from Saturday morning, things start to get interesting. The standout window is definitely the weekend with a really nice pulse of NW groundswell and clean offshore winds.

Friday the 4th is flat and messy. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Things kick off proper on Saturday the 5th. Saturday morning is the first real highlight. We’re looking at clean 4ft waves from the NW, with a period of 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is solid (565), and the wind is offshore from the ENE, keeping it clean. Los Locos is an exposed NW spot, so this swell is arriving right on the money. This is the best session on offer. Saturday afternoon gets even bigger with 5ft NW swell, still offshore and clean. The combined energy jumps to 919, which is strong. This is a great day for intermediate to advanced surfers; 5ft is punchy.

Sunday the 6th drops off a bit. The morning has 5ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s a bit lumpy. The energy is still moderate (532), but the wind ruins it. Sunday afternoon is even worse with cross-onshore winds.

The middle of the week is a mix. Monday the 7th morning is tiny and poor, but the afternoon sees a small 3ft WNW swell with cross-offshore winds, making it clean. Tuesday the 8th is a mix of onshore mess and clean options. The next real standout is Wednesday the 9th. Wednesday morning has 5ft NW swell, period 11 seconds, with light offshore winds from the NNE. It’s clean and the energy is 606. Wednesday afternoon is similar with 5ft NW, clean offshore from the NE. That’s another high-quality day.

The second week is quieter. There’s a nice glassy period on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, particularly Monday morning with 4ft NW swell and glassy conditions (300 energy). That’s a good pick for a quiet session. Wednesday the 16th also has a glassy morning with 3ft NW swell, clean and tidy. After that, from Thursday the 17th onwards, it’s mostly small, weak, and cross-onshore, slowly fading out.

So, to sum it up: your best bets are Saturday the 5th and Wednesday the 9th. Both mornings are clean, with decent size, good direction, and proper energy. Don’t get too excited about the end of the second week – it’s a bit of a bust.

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.

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.
