The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – there’s a long, dry spell ahead. We’re looking at a gap from now all the way through to the start of the second week where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a surf comes on Monday the 17th of August, and even then it’s pretty ordinary.

The Early Grind (Now to mid-August)
From now until around the 17th, the waves are small and the winds are mostly junk. There’s a bit of tiny swell on Monday the 10th – 2 ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds and glassy conditions in the morning. The combined energy is weak (78), and honestly, it’s just surfable, not fun. It stays like that for a few days, but by Thursday the 13th the wind swings cross-onshore and the quality tanks. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are write-offs with poor conditions and only 1 ft to 2 ft of messy swell. The weekend (15th & 16th) is no better – a bit more size on the Saturday afternoon, with 3 ft from the north, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is cross-shore, making it a total mess.

The First Glimmer (Monday 17th – Wednesday 19th)
Monday the 17th of August offers a small window. The morning at Los Locos sees 3 ft from the NNW with a period of 7 seconds, but the wind is dead calm – glassy. It’s still weak energy (70) and short period, so it’s not going to be great, but at least it’s clean. By Monday afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the NE at 15 mph, keeping things clean but the swell drops to 3 ft. Tuesday and Wednesday are more of the same: tiny, clean, but nothing to get excited about. The swell never really gets above 3 ft, and the energy stays low.

The Real Standout (Friday 21st & Saturday 22nd)
Now here’s where it gets interesting. After another dry spell on Thursday the 20th with onshore winds and poor conditions, we finally get a proper run. Friday the 21st of August is the pick of the whole outlook. The morning is glassy with 2 ft from the NW (10 sec period), but the real magic is the afternoon. Swell picks up to 3 ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps to 232 (moderate energy), and the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. For a spot like Los Locos, which is exposed to the NW and has a consistent reputation, this is the moment. The period is long enough to push in with some shape, but not so long it’ll be tricky for a beach break setup. This is the best session on offer.

Saturday the 22nd of August follows up nicely. The morning is glassy again with 3 ft from the NW (10 sec) and energy at 204. Conditions will be clean and fun. The afternoon gets a little more size (4 ft) but the wind swings cross-shore, so the morning is the go.

The Tail End (Sunday 23rd onward)
After that, it fades. Sunday the 23rd brings onshore winds and rain, and the swell drops off through the last few days of August. The final session on Tuesday the 25th is glassy but tiny – just 2 ft from the NE with a period of 5 seconds. Not worth the drive.

Bottom Line
If you want the one standout, it’s Friday the 21st of August afternoon at Los Locos. That 3 ft NW groundswell with light cross-offshore wind and clean conditions is your best bet. Saturday morning the 22nd is also solid. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or just flat. Be patient – it’s a long wait but there’s a little reward at the end.

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.
