The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with ya: it’s a real flat spell ahead and most days are lookin’ pretty grim.
We’re starting off with a proper dry patch. From Sunday, August 2nd, right through until around Wednesday, August 5th, it’s barely a ripple. We’re talking tiny swell, mostly around 1.0 to 2 ft from the north and northwest, with weak energy readings (in the 20s and 30s). There are moments of glassy or clean conditions, like Monday afternoon and Wednesday morning when the wind drops off, but there’s just no push in the water. It’s a frustrating wait.
Now, things start to get a little more interesting from Thursday, August 6th. The swell builds a touch, hitting around 3 ft from the northwest, and the energy climbs into moderate territory (128-147). You get clean, offshore winds on Thursday afternoon with that NE breeze, so the waves will have a bit of shape. Friday, August 7th, looks like the real standout of the whole outlook. The swell pushes up to 4 ft from the north-northwest, the energy is solidly moderate (170), and we get a nice, clean offshore wind from the northeast in the afternoon. It’s not going to be huge, but with that wind, Los Locos should have some fun, clean little peaks. Get out there if you can.
After that, it fades back into the doldrums. From Saturday, August 8th, right through to Sunday, August 16th, the swell drops back under 3 ft again. The energy readings are mostly weak, in the 30s to 80s. There are a few moments of glass (like Tuesday morning, August 11th) or clean offshore conditions (like Wednesday afternoon, August 12th), but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. We see a little tick up on Monday, August 17th, with some 5 ft swell from the northwest and a moderate energy reading of 287, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be bumpy and messy. Not worth planning around.
So, to sum it up: the pick of the very limited bunch is definitely Friday afternoon, August 7th. That’s your best chance for a clean little session with that offshore wind and the biggest swell of the period. The rest of the time? Bring a longboard or a camera, 'cause the surf is gonna be pretty sorry.
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.
