The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s shaping up for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag, but a couple of sessions are definitely worth circling on the calendar.

The water’s sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice, you might not even need a wetsuit.

The first few days are pretty average. Saturday the 29th offers some rideable 5ft NW swell, but it’s nothing to write home about. The real standout kicks off on Monday, the 31st. That morning we’re looking at a clean 5ft NW groundswell with a solid 10-second period, and the energy is building to a moderate 521. The wind is glassy, dead calm, making for some absolutely clean conditions. This is the best session on offer, hands down. The consistent NW swell direction hits the optimum for this exposed spot, and with the crowd factor being a possibility, it’s a good idea to get out early.

The following week gets a bit messy. Saturday the 5th of September sees a jump in swell size, hitting 5ft, and with a 13-second period, the energy is a strong 757. The wind is a fresh offshore, which will keep things clean, but given the size and the longer period, this is really only for the experienced crew. The beach break might get a bit shifty with that long period, so keep your wits about you. After that, the swell drops off, and we hit a dry spell with small, weak waves and poor wind direction through the second week. There’s a tiny glimmer on Monday the 7th with glassy conditions and a 2ft, 12-second swell, but it’s nothing to get excited about.

Overall, your best bet is the Monday morning session. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly a write-off, so make the most of that one good window.

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.
