The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty flat out there for a long stretch. The first proper surfable day we see is on Thursday, the 6th of August, and even then, it’s more about getting wet than getting barreled. The waves are just a little bump, nothing to get excited about. The water's sitting at a nice 72°, which is a touch warmer than what we usually get this time of year, so that’s a silver lining at least.

The real standout, the one day you’d actually want to drag your board out of the shed for, is the morning of Saturday, the 9th of August. We’ve got a solid 5ft of swell rolling in from the NNW, with a combined energy of 238 (moderate), which is the biggest push we’ll see all forecast. Now, the wind is a bit cross-on from the West, so it won't be perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. Because it’s a bit of a chunky day and the period is short (8 seconds), it’s going to be a bit lumpy, but for a beach break, you’ll still find some fun ones. Keep in mind, with the swell over 5ft on the afternoon, it might be a bit much for the beginners.

The second option, if you’re really keen, is Thursday the 6th of August. We’ve got a clean 3ft from the NW with a gentle offshore wind from the ENE. The energy is weak (128), but it’s chest-high and clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it's the most pleasant-looking session before the bigger swell on the weekend. The crowd profile at Los Locos says it can get busy, so expect company if you head out there.

After that Saturday peak, it drops off again. The rest of the second week looks like a write-off, with tiny waves and poor conditions. Honestly, it’s a bit of a bummer of a forecast. We’re looking at a solid gap of near-flatness from the 11th of August right through to the end of the 16-day window. The surf just isn't there.

Get out there on that Saturday morning if you can, but for the rest of it, you might be better off finding a good book.

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.
