The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for us.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way at Los Locos. The first few days this coming weekend and into the start of the week are looking clean and fun, with a nice NW groundswell building through the period. The standout window is definitely that second weekend, starting Friday the 18th afternoon right through the following Monday the 21st — that’s where the magic is. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit fuss.
Sunday the 13th kicks things off with clean, 4ft to 5ft NW swell. The morning is glassy with a slight offshore feel, and the wind stays light and offshore through the afternoon. Wave energy is moderate to strong (565 to 580), and with that long 12 to 13 second period, there’s real push in the water. It’s a consistent beginner-friendly spot, so expect a crowd — it’s often busy here.
Monday the 14th drops a touch to 3ft to 4ft NW swell, but still clean with light winds and offshore afternoons. Good for a longboard or a fun shortboard.
Tuesday the 15th turns ugly. The swell turns junky with a short 6 second period, cross-onshore winds, and choppy conditions. Not worth the paddle.
Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are mixed. Swell bumps back up to 5ft to 6ft NW, but with cross-shore winds and some rain showers, conditions are marginal. The energy is there (308 to 695), but the quality isn’t.
Now here’s the real highlight. Friday the 18th afternoon — watch out. The swell jumps to 6ft with a long 14 second period from the NW, and we get offshore NE winds. The wave energy surges to 1440, making for excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers. This is a big, clean groundswell.
Saturday the 19th is the absolute best on offer. Morning brings 7ft NW swell at 14 seconds, and it’s glassy — dead calm wind. Wave energy is strong at 1895. This is a heavy, powerful wave for experts only. Crowds are likely, but if you can handle it, this is the session.
Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st keep the good times rolling with 7ft to 8ft NW/NNW swell, very long 14 to 16 second periods, and offshore or cross-off winds. Energy is around 2000+ — very strong. Again, this is big, powerful groundswell, so only for experienced surfers. The long period means these waves will have long lulls between sets, but the shape will be excellent.
The week after that tails off. Tuesday the 22nd to Thursday the 24th still has clean, fun surf dropping from 6ft down to 2ft, with lighter winds and offshore afternoons. Friday the 25th through the 28th gets smaller and weaker, with short period windswell and poor winds. A few clean mornings might still give you a small wave, but the energy is gone.
Bottom line: Get on it this weekend for fun waves, but mark your calendar for Saturday the 19th — that’s the one to circle for a proper, heavy, clean swell.
Rusty.

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).
