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, this is a slow start. The first few days, from Thursday the 23rd right through to the end of the month, we’re dealing with a stubborn run of cross-onshore winds and pretty weak, short-period swell. The energy is barely there, and the conditions are just ordinary. You’ll be looking at a lot of lumpy, choppy, and generally poor surf. Nothing to get excited about. There’s a gap of about 4 days where it’s just not worth paddling out.

Then, things change. The standout window is Monday the 27th. That morning, the wind goes glassy at Los Locos, and we’ve got a solid pulse of swell coming in from the NNW at 5 ft. The period bumps up to 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 656. That’s a proper shot of moderate to strong wave energy. The wind stays offshore through the afternoon too, with a nice NE breeze. That’s going to be the best clean surf of the whole outlook. The water is also running much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 73°, which is a nice bonus.

Tuesday the 28th still has some decent leftovers, with clean offshore winds and 4 ft to 4 ft swell from the NNW and NW. It’s a good follow-up day, but not quite the standout of Monday.

After Wednesday the 29th, the swell drops back into the small and weak range, and the onshore winds creep back in. The second week is a bit of a write-off, with tiny waves and mostly average conditions. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 2nd of August where the swell period hits 11 seconds and the wind goes glassy, but the swell height is only 1 ft to 3 ft, so it’s more of a longboard session than anything punchy.

Bottom line: if you’ve got a board and a window, Monday the 27th is your day. Everything else is a wait-and-see game.

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.
